Mermaids in Disneyland?

Disneyland used to boast of ‘live mermaids’ who entertained the crowd by flipping their fins while basking under the sun near the blue lagoon. According to one former mermaid from the park named Suzanne Brewster, the water in the lagoon was too cold. Therefore, the mermaids were mostly found on the rocks.

Visitors could see mermaids in the Tomorrowland area during the 1959 summer and then again from 1965 to 1967 before the closure of the Submarine Voyage. The Disneyland authorities opened the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage for visitors in 2007. It featured a few of our friends from “Finding Nemo,” a Disney venture.
