Description: When you enter the building, the queue begins with a seashore setting that transitions to an underwater theme. With the use of special lighting it appears as if you're under the sea. Details include an overhead boat.


Once guests reach the boarding area, they're transported by "Clam-Mobiles", and join Mr. Ray on a field trip. (The space formerly used for the Living Seas hydrolaters and theaters is now part of the tracking for these ride vehicles.) As you can expect, Nemo goes missing and the pursuit begins.


Animation and puppetry combine to make this a fun filled trip into Nemo's world. You'll join Marlin and Dory as they go in pursuit of everyone's favorite clown fish. Through the use of amazing technology, it seems as if the stars from "Finding Nemo" are inside the 5.7 million gallon aquarium for the final sequences.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Cons:

We visited this pavilion in May 2010. The wait for the ride was a bit longer than our touring plan had predicted and it was not worth it. The ride was very lame.


However the aquarium area turned out to be an unexpected hit with us! We watched a bit of a presentation from a cast member in the manatee area, and then spent a good deal of time watching the dolphins and sea turtles swim around in the big tanks. Will definitely make it a point to return here in the future.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): cute ride for all ages, great way to view real fish with the movie scenes
Cons:

My wife and I went to WDW the first week in March and had almost no line. The ride is in constant motion like most Disney rides so the line is always moving but sometimes can be slow.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): cute ride, neat how they combine the Nemo chararters with the real fish in the tank
Cons: not near as good as sea base alpha was

the Nemo ride is a cute look at all the events in the movies, not I liked the The Living Seas much more before Nemo was added to the mix.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Enjoyable Ride
Cons: Long wait sometime

This is a pleasant ride, especially for kids, but I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes to ride it. There are other things.

Fun to see the aquarium creatures and the cool technology seamlessly incorporated. Even the outside of the attraction is well themed - Mine, Mine, Mine!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Cons:

The ride portion of this pavillion is OK at best. If you or your children love Finding Nemo, then you will like this. The technology used to put the characters into the tanks with the live fish is wonderful. Other than that, it's just OK.


The remainder of this pavillion is really the meat of this attraction for me. It's fun and educational to watch the animals in their habitat. You can also sometimes find cast members to answer any questions you may have. Take the time to explore the various areas here. It isn't about the ride, it's so much more!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): air conditioned, cute clammobiles, octopus at end
Cons: long queue line, small clammobiles

A cute slow moving ride through the tanks at Living Seas. Actually better than the original sea ride on same short track. The octopus at the end is my favorite, if a little snarky!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Cons: line too long, falls very flat

I was expecting more with this but after riding it became very disappointed. The wait in line was way too long for such a short ride with little to look at. I found myself bored at times and wanting the ride to end about half way through it. I would not recommend using your time towards this ride, and if so not more then once.

This is a cute ride, especially if you enjoy the characters from the movie. The end of the ride has especially nice visuals. I don't think it's worth a long wait, though.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Fun, Cute, Educational
Cons: Line

The ride was a lot of fun. Getting on the clammobile was great fun, I enjoyed every part of it. My dad even got nauseas at the part with the bubbles. After the ride you can go see fish. I love sea-creatures, they are so cute! There are so many different types of fish, and marine mammals you can look at. You can even feed manatees if you get there at the right time. The manatee exhibit is AMAZING! I recomend you go to the shark area. It is fun, and talks about how sharks are fished.:( It is educational and a lot of fun!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): animation images superimposed into the aquarium
Cons: limited interest in repeat visits

The queue for the ride is magnificently themed. The ride itself is cute, but doesn't seem to draw interest in my family to see it again.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): The technology
Cons: Kind of boring

The effect putting the characters in the aquarium is nice, but there isn't much to the ride. Little children will think it is wonderful. The best part of the ride for me was the projection of the sardines forming figures in the que line.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great refurb. Catchy song.
Cons:

I really like what they did to refurbish this attraction. The old Living Seas was something we skipped and this brought us back in. Some creative stuff here. We like it.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Charming; visually stunning
Cons: The kids will probably like this more than you do.

Some really stunning technology is on display here. This is a slow-moving ride with lots of charm, so it is probably more suited for the kids. But, adults should also sit up and take notice here. When the animated characters are swimming around with actual sea creatures, it is magical. And worth experiencing.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): ride past aquariums, well themed queue
Cons: simple, queue can be deceivingly long

A fun, simple ride. I like the effect of seeing the animated fish "in the tank" with the real fish. Not much to the story other than the movie plot. If the wait is 20 or less, do it.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Nice queue, fun ride vehicles.
Cons: Dark for small children, sound all mushed together

My three year old son LOVES Nemo but hated this ride. Why? Because it's a very dark ride inside. The CM's know this so they are prepared to give out flashlights to frightened children. My son got one but it didn't help his anxiety. He had rode some other dark rides such as Pooh but he only got scared on this one. The ride itself is cute but I wouldn't wait more then 10 min for it and if you have kids that are iffy about the dark then skip it.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): retheming was done well
Cons: not enough of the real sea creatures

cute for the kids but not enough of the real sea creatures in the tank. It felt like there should have been more.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): children love Nemo
Cons: kind of purposeless

If you have a child that LOVE Nemo, then maybe this is for you but for the other population, it's a skip.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Theming
Cons: long lines

The wait is not worth it for this ride. Especially since you don't have to go on the ride to get into the building. I would skip the ride and just go into the aquarium. While the effects are nice they aren't good enough to justify the wait.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): good theming
Cons: disappointing

I was expecting more from this ride but found it to be pretty boring. Good theming (especially in the queue line) but the ride lacks any pizazz.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Improvement over the old themeing
Cons: Didn't appeal to me directly

Certainly an improvement over the old exhibit, but I wasn't thrilled with the new ride. Nice to get inside on a hot day, but I can't say that I remember much about the ride a year later.
