Walt Disney One Man’s Dream and Voyage of the Little Mermaid may be going away soon

Walt Disney One Man's Dream and Voyage of the Little Mermaid closing at Hollywood Studios

Rumors continue to swirl about Hollywood Studios that Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream and Voyage of the Little Mermaid could be closing in late September, 2015.  Speculation says that the final date could be September 27.  The exhibits and displays within the Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream pre-show are said to be moving elsewhere in Disney World.  Ariel will continue to be available to meet and greet at the Magic Kingdom and you can experience the Under the Sea ride as well.

This leaves me wondering what will happen to Mike and Sulley, Phineas and Ferb and Lightning McQueen and Mater in the coming months?  Mike and Sulley appear to be right in the path of destruction within the park.  When will Lights, Motors, Action be shuttered as well?

This is just speculation at this time, as Disney hasn’t officially announced this.  Rumors point to this being another portion of the park that will be removed for the likely Toy Story expansion and eventual Star Wars expansion. Rumors are also pointing to renaming the park again to Disney Hollywood Adventure.

The map below would be a view of the park, if these rumors come true.  We already know Mickey is moving to Disney Junior area in August.  The only attractions that would remain on the West side of the park would be Toy Story Midway Mania (which is being expanded for capacity) and the Green Army Men, Buzz n Woody meet and greet.

Nooooooooooo! This is awful! The voyage of the little mermaid has been a favorite since I was a little kid! I feel like the studios name sounds better especially because the park is supposed to be Hollywood and film themed. Adventure sounds like something universal would do. This is so sad.

For clarification, Universal is still a working studio, Disney is not.

We love HS, just left two weeks ago, we were able to Draw for the last time, we were sad that we didn't see more street performers, we waited to see them the best

The Dis mentioned something about a name change to "Disney Hollywood Adventure" so I'm guessing they are trying to take it a DCA route.

Just breaking free from Studios because it isn't a working studio any longer

noooooo! So sad. At this point, it would be better for them to just close the entire park and get the upgrades done that much faster. If it's going to take them 5 YEARS to do it because they can only work around guests going to the very few things left...then just close it all and get it done in a year or two instead. The lines for the few remaining rides are already ridiculous....keep closing more and those lines just get bigger. Not worth the travel time to come over for the 3 FP that you might be able to get and then have to go to another park. I'm not sure I get their reasoning in leaving it open with so little to do.
