Even better, there are classes for both kids and adults, with a minimum age of four to take part.

Both boys and girls can learn to become a mermaid, where they are trained to swim through hoops and dive for treasure.

The courses are run by swimming school The Mermaid Academy at a number of hotels across the park.

Polynesian Village Resort, Riviera Resort, Yacht Club Resort, Beach Club Resort, Caribbean Beach Resort and All-Star Music Resort offer the one-hour classes on select dates.

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is a favourite destination to try the class too, with large statues of Ariel, King Triton, Prince Eric and Ursula.

There is even a Little Mermaid hotel wing to stay in, with underwater-themed decor.

The classes cost $55 (£42) per person, plus tax, according to Inside the Magic, and you can book by calling 407-939-7529.

Swimmers will be given a medallion after completing the class, and those who love the experience can buy their tails to take home, with purple, blue, pearled and rainbow rails starting from $109 (£84).

If you can’t quite make it to Florida, then you can also have mermaid lessons in the UK at Bedford just just £25 an hour.
