CAMP, The Family Experience Company, invites you to dive into a world of wonder at its newest experience, Disney The Little Mermaid x CAMP. This immersive and musical experience, inspired by Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” opens at CAMP’s newest location in Dunwoody, Georgia, on June 3rd to celebrate the film's release, which floats into theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023. Limited tickets are available today and can be purchased here; families are encouraged to purchase early.
Families will step through CAMP’s signature Magic Door and explore a 5,300-square-foot undersea world inspired by the new film and created in collaboration with Disney. With live music, puppetry, and magic, there’s something for everyone. Come to CAMP to:
- Sing and dance with live musicians playing your favorite songs from Disney’s The Little Mermaid, including Under The Sea, Part of Your World, Kiss The Girl and Poor Unfortunate Souls
- Visit King Triton’s Palace — take a seat on his throne and control the seas with the power of Triton’s trident
- Enter Ariel’s Grotto and embark on a scavenger hunt for gadgets and gizmos a-plenty.
- Slide through Ursula’s dark lair and watch a magic show
- Explore an abandoned shipwreck — climb cargo net tunnels up to a crow’s nest and unlock treasure chests below deck
- Shop exclusive Disney The Little Mermaid x CAMP co-branded apparel and accessories in the Beachside Market
Disney The Little Mermaid x CAMP will open on Saturday, June 3rd at CAMP's new location at The Ashford Lane lifestyle property located at 4500 Olde Perimeter Way in Dunwoody. The 14,000-square-foot store — the largest of all CAMP locations — will contain 3,500 square feet of retail space (“The Canteen”) with toys, clothing, accessories, and a slime creation station (“The Schmutz Bar”). In addition to retail and The Little Mermaid experience, CAMP will feature “The CAMPitheater” — a performance space for live events — and three reservable party rooms for youngsters’ birthdays.
“Following the stellar success of our most recent collaboration, Disney Encanto x CAMP, which debuted in NYC, we can’t wait to make memories together with Atlanta families when we open our newest show next month, " said Ben Kaufman, Co-Founder of CAMP.
Inspired by the new film, CAMP and Disney will introduce an exclusive co-branded collection of apparel and accessories available in Atlanta, on camp.com, and in our other CAMP stores across the country. Featuring shimmering sequins and jewel-tone purples and greens, this collection of accessories, including jewelry and clothing, brings underwater magic to any young mermaid. A standout of the collection is the Magic Mermaid Skirt, which (with a snap) visibly transforms from a frilly organza skirt into a longer, sequin-covered mermaid tail.
“Storytelling is at the heart of what we do and our continued collaboration with CAMP allows us to bring new audiences into Disney’s beloved stories through innovative and immersive retail experiences that families can enjoy together,” said Naveen Seshadri, Executive Vice President, Global Retail. “We’re thrilled to invite Little Mermaid fans of all ages under-the-sea to celebrate this beautiful new film in a whole new way.”
Disney The Little Mermaid x CAMP will be in Atlanta for a limited time before moving to another CAMP location. Families can also visit Disney Encanto x CAMP in New York City or Disney Mickey and Friends x CAMP in Dallas, Texas. CAMP participated in the 2021 Disney Accelerator, a business development program designed to accelerate the growth of innovative companies worldwide.

About Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”
“The Little Mermaid,” visionary filmmaker Rob Marshall’s live-action reimagining of the studio’s Oscar®-winning animated musical classic, opens exclusively in theaters nationwide May 26, 2023. “The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.
The film stars singer and actress Halle Bailey (“grown-ish”) as Ariel; Jonah Hauer-King (“A Dog’s Way Home”) as Prince Eric; Tony Award® winner Daveed Diggs (“Hamilton”) as the voice of Sebastian; Awkwafina (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) as the voice of Scuttle; Jacob Tremblay (“Room”) as the voice of Flounder; Noma Dumezweni (“Mary Poppins Returns”) as The Queen; Art Malik (“Homeland”) as Sir Grimsby; with Oscar® winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men,” “Being the Ricardos”) as King Triton; and two-time Academy Award® nominee Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” “Bridesmaids”) as Ursula. “The Little Mermaid” is directed by Oscar® nominee Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Mary Poppins Returns”) with a screenplay by two-time Oscar nominee David Magee (“Life of Pi,” “Finding Neverland”). The songs feature music from multiple Academy Award® winner Alan Menken (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin”) and lyrics by Howard Ashman, and new lyrics by three-time Tony Award® winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. The film is produced by two-time Emmy® winner Marc Platt (“Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert,” “Grease Live!”), Miranda, two-time Emmy winner John DeLuca (“Tony Bennett: An American Classic”), and Rob Marshall, with Jeffrey Silver (“The Lion King”) serving as executive producer.
