From WDWMagic.com:

 

Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid is schedule to close for a month long refurbishment in early 2015.

The New Fantasyland dark ride will close on February 2 through to March 6, reopening to guests on March 7 2015. It is expected, although not confirmed, that the ride may receive a number of lighting upgrades that have already been installed at the ride's counterpart in Disney California Adventure.

 

 

Yeah, that's what it needs.....better lighting.  :laugh:

Improvements have been made throughout the attraction, including more sea creature figures throughout some of the more sparse scenes and new improved lighting.

 

Early criticism of the ride, which opened in October 2012, was aimed at the high levels of light that were used throughout the show scenes, in particular the large central "under the sea" scene. Much of the ceiling was visible, exposing utility piping and fixtures. The new lighting scheme is closer to the existing Fantasyland rides, using a combination of regular lighting and black light. The change is subtle, but improves the appearance of the scene.

 

Some of the figures also now include real hair, instead of the solid plastic look. The "kiss the girl" scene in particular is improved.
