When to Use the Bathroom During The Little Mermaid 2023

Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid is a family film and it’s also over 2 hours long. That means there will be plenty of little kids (and adults) who just can’t hold it. Here’s when you can use the bathroom during The Little Mermaid or run to get more snacks from the concession stand.

When Can You Go to the Bathroom During The Little Mermaid (2023)?

At 2 hours and 15 minutes long, so there are times you can pee during The Little Mermaid where you won’t miss important plot points. And if you’ve seen the animated version, you already know the gist and some of your favorite parts that you don’t want to miss.

When it comes to using the bathroom during movies, it’s best to do so during moments that have less significance or action, so you don’t miss anything important.

When to pee during The Little Mermaid

Here’s when you can take a bathroom break during The Little Mermaid 2023 when you just can’t hold it.

  • During any of the musical numbers or songs if musicals aren’t your thing
  • When King Triton destroys Ariel’s treasures 
  • When Ariel gets her legs and is found on the boat (but go quick) 
  • When Ariel and Eric start their carriage ride together
  • During Prince Eric’s solo song

For young kids, I’d recommend leaving during any of the scary parts or romantic/friendship parts. For the adults, during the songs if you aren’t into it, especially during The Scuttlebutt song. But kids will love that one. 

You can also leave when Ariel first visits Ursula as that scene is pretty long, but Melissa McCarthy is great in it.
