My husband found this picture with the mermaids in the old submarine ride. I remembered the conversation about it a couple days ago, so I thought I'd share.
I know...it would be great to still see something like this. My 6 year old daughter was upset they "got rid of them"...very concerned for their well being. I told her they missed their families in the ocean...lol ;-) - MandJloveMickey212.6 #1479 7-28-11 12:47AMLike Reply
I was intrigued with the idea of mermaids so I googled it at home the other night. I had found an article that interviewed a former mermaid CM. I can't find that article right now, but I did find this blog with more mermaid photos: http://viewlinerltd.blogspot.com/2008/09/disneyland-mermaids.html
Once I get home I'll check my browser history for the article. It was pretty interesting! - alohaimchelle171.0 #2028 7-28-11 10:56AMLike Reply

Thanks for sharing that link. Fun stuff! Unless there were mermaids there in 1980, I've never seen them. Pretty cool! - Manawalea9.6 #7045 7-31-11 7:50AMLike Reply
