Who that is

Writer and presenter, Whistle While You Work

Melissa moved to Celebration, Florida, and stopped treating Disney as a once-a-year sprint. She is in the parks most weeks, films what she finds, and writes the pages here from that — plus the research it takes to check it. Her position, in her own words: Disney does not have to be perfect to be magical, and the goal was never to do everything.

It is air-conditioned and seated, and good for small children. Sunshine Whispers ranks it the twelfth-best show at Walt Disney World.

What it’s actually like

The Tank Gang from the dentist's office, now at the Marine Life Institute, retell Marlin and Dory's search for Nemo, with 'In the Big Blue World' and 'Go with the Flow' among the songs. Sunshine Whispers calls the puppets and set visually stunning; ThemeParkHipster ranks it ninth of its ten best Disney World shows.

You sit throughout. Gentle, with a story about a lost child that Sunshine Whispers says will pull at your heartstrings.
