I was watching the Disneyland podcasts and I guess there were mermaids in the lagoon back in the day. I was wondering if there were mermaids in the lagoon now?

Unlike the 1950s Disneyland, "No," there are no more teen-age girls sitting on rocks in the submarine lagoon, dressed up in green mermaid costumes.

"Those were the days, my friend ..." :):crying::rolleyes:

Too much chlorine... and also maybe too much other brand-name mermaid competition nearby to have random generic mermaids in the Lagoon... :(




...and Politically Correct DL would probably dictate an equal number of Mermen as Mermaids on those rocks.


And based on the above... I really think Disneyland really had more than enough of 'female Guests SCREAMING at Face Characters' back when Tarzan was in PotS. ;)

I think the fact that guys were jumping into the lagoon to get the mermaids might be a factor also.

Also it was harming their skin sitting out there all day in the sun, I heard.

Also, it wouldn't fit the theming. There are no mermaids in Finding Nemo.

But did it fit the theming before?

There was a mermaid that was visible during the old sub ride.........so I guess it fits the theming.

Well if there were still mermaids in the lagoon, I think that'd be just the perfect job. I like swimming!

When the Meremaids were in the Lagoon, there was a bigger emphasis on Peter Pan. There was the Chicken of the Sea resturant (Captin Hooks Pirate Ship) and Skull rock too. Then there were the Mermaids in the Mermaid Lagoon. I was a believer!

I loved looking at the mermaids when I was a little girl. They used to sit on the rocks and wave at the guests. They even swam around sometimes.
