The Seas with Nemo & Friends

The Nemo & Friends ride at EPCOT is a delightful and immersive experience that captures the charm of the beloved Pixar film while adding a uniquely Disney touch. From the moment you enter the queue, you’re transported into the underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. The atmosphere is peaceful, colorful, and full of small details that set the mood perfectly—great for kids and adults alike. The ride itself uses a gentle, continuously moving clamshell vehicle that glides through a combination of screens, animatronics, and actual aquarium scenes. It’s a perfect mix of storytelling and real marine life, making it both entertaining and educational. Seeing Nemo, Dory, Marlin, Crush, and the rest of the gang come to life around you as they “swim” through real tanks filled with live fish is just magical. Disney did an amazing job blending animation with the real aquarium in a way that feels seamless and truly unique. The ride ends in The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion, which is packed with interactive exhibits, a giant aquarium, and even manatees! It’s the kind of attraction where the fun doesn’t stop once the ride ends—you can easily spend another 30-45 minutes exploring everything inside the pavilion afterward. Low wait times, indoor A/C, and a relaxing pace make this ride an awesome break from the Florida heat and crowds. A must-do if you’re visiting EPCOT, especially with younger kids or anyone who loves the ocean. Absolutely worth it every time. Disney magic at its finest!

A ride for younger folks for sure, but very chill and relaxing for the older crowd as well. Part of that film I liked best were the seagulls shouting "Mine" and outside the ride there are a group of them, amongst other characters from the show. The ride itself is mild and good for all ages.

We had an excellent meal here in front of the fish tank! We had the shrimp and grits $34 and Salmon ($29) in 2022 and both were excellent, 10/10! I would love to go back

I love the interaction between the CGI characters from the movie and the actual aquarium! The ride is very low-key but also very fun.

The ride was good and incorporated Disney characters from finding Nemo - definitely not their voice actors though. But, the best part was walking through the interactive aquarium at the end of the ride or when the characters were added to the actual aquarium. Most of the ride was just 2D screens, but the finale had the characters projected intro he aquarium. We bought a magic pass for soarin and got this ride as our bonus 2 options or B team ride selection. I think if you wait until the kids leave at night, you’ll be able to ride quickly tho

This is such a fun ride and having the aquarium added on makes it that much better!

2024 May 4★ The ride is certainly geared towards the younger children, but it's a nice relaxing ride. It also takes you inside the SeaBase which is definitely underrated. Inside, you'll find dolphins, turtles, sharks etc. Very very cool. This is like a mini aquarium visit on its own. Definitely check it out.

Fantastic little ride, especially when it’s hot outside! The ride wait was about 15 minutes and afterwards it pushed us out into their aquarium! I haven’t been inside the aquarium and let me tell you, it was great! Absolutely loved it, they are taking care of endangered animals as well as animals that are wounded. Overall a great time killer and experience!!

This is another great place to go when you need a rest from the sun. It's more than just a ride. It's an aquarium where you can see manatee, sharks, dolphins, sea turtles, and all kinds of aquatic life. There are many cool things for kids, but I thought it had a lot to offer to adults as well. The ride itself is cute. It's an easy ride with Nemo and his friends. There's nothing spooky about it, unless you're afraid of Bruce the great white shark. Everyone is trying to find Nemo again. Crush is as goofy as ever when he swims by you on the screen. It's fun! My favorite part was seeing the real clownfish and blue tang fish. We were also fortunate enough to see a hammerhead shark and an endangered bowmouth guitarfish. I took pictures, but they didn't come out very well. It was so cool to be able to see them at EPCOT. It's an attraction that is definitely worth visiting for all ages. We can all learn a little something about the sea.

Definitely not my favorite ride, but there's nothing really wrong with it so I'm not going to completely knock it. I was just hoping for more than another sit down ride-through. But it's for kids really haha. So it's perfect to keep the attention of your 5 year old that loves Nemo or if you need a ride to get you out of the sun

I liked this ride more than I care to admit lol I really didn't think I would like this ride that much. But it was super cute and fun lol Also, it is air conditioned and a nice way to take a break and get off your feet! It's nice and relaxing too. The visuals are bright and colorful. And entertaining. The seas with Nemo and friends is an adorable ride that you must check out! Especially if there is no wait/ line for this ride.

I love a slow, non-dizzying track ride. Not much going on with this ride and that worked for me. We didn't wait long at all. The clamshell cars are pretty cute and gave it a Little Mermaid vibe! I think my companion and I got to share a little car all to ourselves. Note to self: rewatch Finding Nemo.

We needed something to do at Epcot because we were seriously running out of things to do. This was a nice way to pass the time sitting and enjoying air conditioning, but this is a ride for babies. Still, it is what it is and kids will love it.

The seas with Nemo is a cute and simple animatronic motion ride located in Disney Epcot theme park based off popular Pixar films finding Nemo and ten sequel finding Dory. The ride itself is a classic Disney ride formula of all sizes and ages riding in a lap bar cart and being carted through t the fun adventures of a Disney classic which is shown through vibrant sets and animatronics. Overall a pretty cool ride for fans of the films. A part my kids love is at the exit of the ride you enter in what can be described as a full blown aquarium That features sharks, dolphins, manatees And other sea life.

Feels like a very outdated attraction that is very in need of a refresh. You sit in some moving clamshells, and pass by a series of screens that depict seemingly random parts of the finding Nemo franchise movie clips. There doesn't seem to be any storyline, and nothing new was added in terms of content. Definitely not worth a wait if there's a line

Take an adventure with Nemo and friends through the seas...fun ride sit through and cool off especially when it's hot out. Gives you a quick re-cap of the Finding Nemo movie as it moves along. Great for kids of all ages... If you get here at the right time, there isn't much of a wait, otherwise there is so plan wisely.

This is a very good ride at Epcot, based on the movie Finding Nemo. It is a ride, when it concludes the ride connects to aquarium with dolphins, sting rays and other aquatic life. This is a very good ride for adults and children.

Fun ride to get in or walk in. Great tanks. Animals look well cared for. Dolphins, sharks, rays.... Activity book for kids to find different fish. Great place to visit in the rain or to cool down in the summer. One of the best things for kids to pass time. Lots of animals to see. Great time!

Of all the Disney rides that do the thing where it just takes you through the entire movie in ride-form, The Seas with Nemo and Friends is probably the weakest out of all of them. This is a ride that has you going from one "window" into the sea to another, but the storyline is all disjointed on this ride, they move around all the events so it doesn't happen sequentially, and they leave out a ton of CRITICAL moments! When this is the main focus of your ride, it makes it all a bit underwhelming and a tad confusing too, but that was all quickly forgiven by the fact that this ride ends in a LITERAL AQUARIUM! How exciting and unexpected for this ride to put you out in a whole building filled with education, fish, sharks, and so much more! It was very delightful to spend some time in here checking out all the things and getting out of the sun for a bit and is the main reason why I would want to come back to check out this ride! Although I'm pretty sure you can get to the aquarium without going through the ride itself as well, so I might just do that next time!

Simple ride, but a must if you have kids. I myself come as a Disney adult and probably will not ride this ride again but had to try it once. The clam shells are cute that you sit in and the ride brings you along and animated ride with Nemo and friends. Super cute and then you end at the aquarium so you can look at the fish.

This was the surprise of our trip. There's so much hype around the Frozen and Ratatouille rides that this one can get lost. Using the Lightning Lane, we walked right onto the ride with little wait. Sitting in a shell as a family of three, our five-year-old daughter loved this ride. Seeing her joy made us like it. At the end is an aquarium with all types of fish, dolphins, sting rays, etc. They also have outlets to charge your phone near the restrooms, a store (of course!) and free scavenger hunt booklets with stickers. The best part of all was escaping the heat!

This ride is fun. It tells the story of Finding Nemo. It's a fast loading ride which is nice. I do like the Finding Nemo ride at Disneyland better because you're in a submarine and it's more unique. This one, you sit in shells just like the Little Mermaid ride.

It has been over a decade since I have rode this ride, and it is comforting to know that it is mostly the same. I like the combination of aquarium and amusement ride they have going here. And I always get a kick out of the seagulls out front when they shout "Mine!" It is a bit fast paced when it comes to entering and getting into a car. I like that you basically walk right into your clamshell and start your trip through the ride. It is nice to see familiar faces from the movie that aide you along the ride. It keeps you interested and for them to be projected onto the aquariums themselves adds a little extra to it all. One thing that you have to ding this on is that the projectors might want to fine tuned or maybe cleaned. Some images weren't all that crisp and had some pieces missing to the image. Once you finish the ride you are able to leisurely walk around and view the scenes inside the aquariums. I honestly loved this part of it. Even though you are in the middle of a busy amusement park you have time to just relax and enjoy yourself. This is always a definite must for me when I do visit. And I hope it is around when I make my next trip.

Did they always place animation over the live fish tanks? It's incredible! The animation and vocals are crisp and clear. Nemo is one of our favorites, so we have a predisposition to like this attraction. The scalloped shell car we sat in was perfect for the two of us. It was cool inside, and a great way to escape the oppressive heat. Once off the ride, it was difficult to leave. So much to do and see! We always like checking in with the manatees. But where are you the dolphins. We saw none. Staff, although masked(6/24/21), were friendly and accommodating. Everything seemed clean. The tanks were a little murky, and one of the hand sanitizer units was empty. We did report the latter, but forgot to inquire about the tanks.

Cute, slow dark ride, you'd love this if you're a young child or if you have a huge connection with the Finding Nemo movies.

The seas with Nemo and friends is in world nature at Epcot. I think I liked the line to get to the ride more than the ride itself. They've done a fantastic job in setting the right ambiance. The ride is slow and easy for all ages. It is very much like the Little mermaid at magic Kingdom.

On our way out of the park we stopped to check out Nemo and Friends. I loved they even had a small aquarium inside. The ride itself is short, but you get to sit in a cute little seashell and watch as video type things play..no etc. next part for me was the sea turtles. If you've seen the movie you know. The line was short which was a bonus .

This is a fun little ride at EPCOT that is based on the Finding Nemo movie. It was formally called The Living Seas before they rebranded it after the movie came out. The ride is cute and lets you experience the movie all over again. At the end of the ride, you enter the Sea Base pavilion area that has a huge salt water aquarium. The aquarium holds a wide array of marine life. This was my last stop at EPCOT before I left and I found it a nice relaxing way to end my day.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends is located in Epcot, towards the entrance, next to Spaceship Earth. This is a slow ride, dark ride, very similar to Ariel & friends in Magic Kingdom. We went towards the end of July. All of the social distancing guidelines were in-place. Social distancing markers within the queue and hand sanitize stationed throughout the ride. We didn't have to wait to get on the ride. The walk-through of the queue took about 5 minutes. This ride has a moving platform. You'll need to actively hop on the ride. The ride is fully AC'd and takes you through Nemo, watching a variety of scenes. This ride is kid friendly. I'd recommend sitting 2 within each shell. The story is a little rushed though. You'll need to have watched Finding Nemo to understand the full story. It's a beautiful ride. I did feel a little dizzy during the turtle Crush current. I ended up closing my eyes for that part though! After the Nemo ride, you get dropped off into the aquarium. The aquarium has a wide variety of sharks, manatees, fish, coral, and much more!

One of the "attractions" at Epcot. I felt that Disney just mailed it in with this poor excuse of a "ride". Unlike other rides where they spent a great deal on animatronics, atmosphere, and special effects, you don't see very much of that here. What you get is a slow moving cart In the shape of a clan that shuttles you through a lot of LCD screens with animated fish.

This is a cute ride overlay that was added to the Seas pavilion some years back - basically they added Nemo-themed video projections into the existing aquariums plus some sets as well. My main gripe with this ride is the line - for a continuously moving ride, the line moves so slow! It is indoor, but recent trips the indoor portion has been warmer than it should be, so it wasn't very pleasant. The ride overall is cute, but quite short. Would certainly recommend skipping if the line is longer than 25 - 30min. Be sure to check out the aquariums at the exit of the ride - I especially love that they have manatees! Pretty unique!

The Seas is naturally a popular pavilion in Epcot, mainly because Nemo has universal appeal and it's one of the only attractions in the park based off a Disney franchise (though that number is increasing). I've ridden it a few times, and while it's not my favorite, I can see why people like it so much. The Seas with Nemo and Friends originated as The Living Seas. The pavilion opened in 1986 and like other attractions in Epcot at the time, it was mostly an edutainment attraction. There was a short film presentation and omnimover ride that ended in SeaBase Alpha which housed most of the fish tanks. There were a number of interactive activities as well as a small gift shop. The biggest change to the pavilion happened when they introduced Turtle Talk with Crush - an interactive attraction where guests (mainly kids) can have real conversations with Crush from Finding Nemo. Eventually, the entire pavilion was refreshed and became The Seas with Nemo and Friends; the facade was redone, the omnimover ride was changed to give a synopsis of the film, and more Nemo facets were added to (the formerly called) SeaBase Alpha. Coral Reef, the restaurant attached to the pavilion, is pretty good with awesome views of the tanks. Overall, I feel about The Seas the same way I feel about the Norway pavilion - it fell victim to a Disney franchise and lost its original charm. I understand why it's so popular and why Disney wanted to capitalize on the success of Finding Nemo, but for an Epcot purist like me, I preferred the original. Cute, but not an attraction I'm running to.

This would be a kid favorite for sure. There is an enormous aquarium with sharks and dolphins as well as fish and sea turtles. There are many ways to view as well as different levels of viewing. It's beautiful. For those of you who have never seen a manatee, this is your chance! The Nemo ride is fun. I smiled. It's for all ages but especially young kids. There is a small bathroom inside near the ride exit.

A ride plus an aquarium?! So fun! The ride is to the right of Spaceship Earth. You can't miss it with all the pretty teal and blue colors. We did use a fast pass for this ride but I would suggest not wasting your fast pass. The ride is inside and you get into a clam shell and off you go. There is a moving platform, so just be careful when entering and exiting the clam shell. The shell fits 2 adults comfortably or 2 adults and a small child but not as much room. I love all the colors with this ride! I was surprised to see so many screens for the ride. I agree with other Yelpers when they say the storytelling is not the best. It all seemed kind of rushed with trying to cram the movie into a few short minutes. One of the best parts was going through the current with turtle, Crush. Really cool views and I also loved that the aquarium was incorporated in parts for the ride - I was not expecting that. After the ride we spent a good 30 minutes at the aquarium - great ride but a bit lacking with the story telling. However, the colors, aquarium, and AC make up for it. I would definitely give it a go, if there is a short wait!

I wanna love this one more cause I so loved both nemo movies, but to be really honest, this one is just okay. It's a constantly moving ride, so lines stay short. The a.c. is always pumping, so it's a great cool of ride for hot days. The ride itself is clam shells going through an underwater adventure where marlin is looking for nemo who's just playing around by hiding. You'll see all the familiar characters from the original movie, including Bruce, Dory, Peach, Nemo's school friends and Mr Ray. It's almost all on movie screens and isn't really to engaging. The one animatronic area isn't dark enough so you clearly see the machine moving the fish. The moments when you're able to go through the tank tubes with real fish in the background the view is obscured. Overall: C Good cool of ride. Whimsical if you really loved the movies, but in my opinion, not a must ride.

Board your clam shell and join Nemo on a journey! This should be fine for all ages, it's especially great for someone who is looking to avoid thrill rides. I've seen the wait times vary quite a bit here. Sometimes it's 5 minute wait and other days it could be 30-40. I'd recommend doing rope at EPCOT, hit nearby Soarin' first and then come here. Be sure to check out the seagulls out front too, super cute! There is a cool aquarium like feature that you will go through as you exit this attraction.

I was pretty enchanted with this ride. You sit in shells like the Little Mermaid ride, and it takes you through scenes from the movie with both film and dark ride elements. I love the way it deposits you into the aquarium as the cartoon world meets the real world. My sons were in awe, and wondered how they did it. Is it a thrill ride? No, but it's a snazzy way to deliver you to the aquarium, and just a fun union between Disney magic and reality.

Move through the seas in a clam to see Nemo & Friends, and end at The Seas aquarium. This ride is cool inside and is good for all ages. The clam will seat 2-3 ppl. Colors are bright and make use of black lighting to heighten them. Crash the turtle is my favorite part - I like how we travel the current with him and his friends. The ride doesn't tell the story of Nemo very well. If you didn't know the movie, you still wouldn't. My 8 year old made this observation after we got off the ride and while I laughed, he's right. Ride it regardless and sing along with Mr Ray!

What a lovely ride. This is located in EPCOT to the East of Spaceship Earth (the big ball at the entrance to the park. It used to be the Living Seas but was adapted to Nemo's story years ago. It is a great ride for a hot day. It often has a short or no line. The entrance lines are dark (and cool) so hold the handrails and watch your footing. You enter into 2-person cars shaped like seashells from a moving sidewalk. The ride takes you through the story of Finding Nemo until, at the end of the ride, you are deposited out into a real 2 story aquarium that you can walk through and see. The ride is very cute and enjoyable and great for a warm day. Enjoy.

Four stars for the aquarium, two stars for the ride. At least a portion of the ride line is air conditioned, but we agreed that this was the worst ride we went on in all four Disney parks. Terrible wait time to ride value ratio. (My 9yo son thinks The Land is the worst, boring I guess, I thought it was great). I'm not sure what they could do with The Seas, but as it stands, yawn, even for little kids.

An adorable ride for little kids, with an educational element about the sea. The ride itself is completely flat and slow, so this definitely isn't a thrill ride at all, but is a nice, calm break from the chaos of Disney World. It's air-conditioned, dark, and cute - highlighting one of my favorite Disney animated movies, Finding Nemo. You sit in a big shell chair with one other person, and it turns as you see the characters from the movie in front of you for the duration of the track ride.

Really cute ride for those with kids! Although we didn't have to wait in line, we still enjoyed the walk through. Loved the use of projection to make realistic waves. I also really loved that two adults and one child could fit in each clam. That makes it super easy for parents with one kid to all get in a clam or parents with two kids to split up to be one adult and one child per clam. The best part is that it exists into The Seas pavilion which houses the awesome aquariums. Your kids can learn about all types of sea life that they just saw in the ride. Perfect place to cool off and get lost for a few hours. Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE Epcot!?

It's been 4 years since I've been back to Disney World and I've got some stuff to say! But not about Nemo & Friends. I took my BFF and my 2 year old on here and they both loved it! My kid loves sharks lately (thanks Baby Shark) like she gets super excited. Ironically on our way to the exit 2 dophin's perfectly swam by passed the last window. My BFF was like "wait, were those ones real?" I don't remember there being dolphin's at EPCOT but I think it just made the experience for her even better. The wait time pretty much didn't exist!

I think of this as two attractions - the for kids portion that is the Nemo dark ride and the for the kids and adults aquarium portion. The Nemo ride seems to be a hit with the children but viewing it as an adult it is pretty disappointing. Maybe once getting stuck in the Gulf Stream with the turtles when the ride broke and getting bubble sensory overload for 10 minutes was the deal breaker. I only found the star fish on the glass at the end pleading for us to take her with us to be particularly creative and amusing. I would give the ride portion 2 stars from an adult perspective. Then after the ride there is the really impressive aquarium and sea life exhibits. The aquarium is one of the largest in the world. It holds 5.7 million gallons of water and is home to over 4,000 sea creatures. The window panels measure 8 feet by 24 feet and weigh 9,000 pounds each. They range in thickness from 6 to 8 inches. Though it may not seem it, the Aquarium is so large that Spaceship Earth would fit inside! You will see dolphins, sea turtles, angelfish, rays, sharks and more. Catch the fish feedings at 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM, when a Cast Member will describe the marine life that you see before you. Actually, for a fee, open water certified divers can scuba dive in the aquarium. Only sixteen people are allowed to dive per day, and do so in two groups of eight. Disney supplies all gear. I would give the aquarium portion 4 stars.

The ride is really light on content or spectacle. It's rather boring. But the main attraction is the aquarium afterwards. That is something to see! Enter thru the gift shop and skip the ride if there is any kind of wait at all.

This is a ride that goes through an aquarium. It was updated and Nemo & friends graphic was added. I thought it was very cute, my children got to see some fish, while having fun on a ride. Is a fast pass needed, probably not but with the fast pass system what are you going to do.

Cute ride... mostly for little kids! It's like riding through the movie on your own clam shell sofa and all the main characters are there. My favorites will probably always and forever be Crush & Squirt! TOTALLY DUDE! 2017/73

Of all the times I've been to Epcot I've never done this ride. My friend described it as the same set up as Voyage of The Little Mermaid and the Haunted Mansion with the conveyor belt seats. The premise is that Nemo is "lost" again and his father and Dory are looking for him. I can't say I was expecting some great ride but if I was a kid I'd probably think it was amazing. I really like how afterwards it lets you out into an "aquarium" section where you can see all the sea animals living in the attraction. I was surprised to see that they were housing and caring for manatees. I love manatees! I'm pretty sure that they were rescued as one's tail was mostly gone. We saw other creatures like lionfish, eels, little Dorys, and shrimp in the tanks. Don't waste your Fastpass on this ride as goes pretty quick.

Another ride where Disney shows its fetish for conveyor belt experiences. In essence Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid and this one are all the same idea with Mermaid and this one being carbon copies of each other. Come into the A/C, sit in a moving clam shell vehicle and watch some scenes on flat screens as you go past. While it's nice to sit and depending on when you go the A/C is a bonus (although in January when it's in the high 40's outside and the A/C is still ripping full force that might be a good time to dial it back) the overall ride is on the dull side. The most interesting part is at the end (and no, it's not the large gift shop you are forced to walk through to get to the exit either) where they have some informational displays about sharks along with some fish and in particular a few manatees. Very cool and that is very much worth a few minutes of time to stop and enjoy.

Brief Description: Somewhat similar to The Little Mermaid ride over at Magic Kingdom, you board a "Clamobile" and take a conveyor ride through an aquarium. You meet Mr. Ray and his class and learn that Nemo is missing at the beginning of the ride. Then, you head off to find Nemo with the help of Dory, Bruce, Marlin, Squirt, and my personal favorite: Crush. Pros: The effects of the "cartoon" fish swimming with real fish are pretty awesome, and make for a very cool dynamic. Great colors and songs. Cool mix of animatronics and special effects. Also, you get a "bonus" at the end of the ride, in that you get to view an indoor aquarium with some great sea life in it! As Disney conveyor rides go, this is one of the better ones. Cons: That said, it IS another. Disney. Conveyor. Ride. Ride rating: 2/5 Experience rating: 3/5

Don't get me wrong, I like this ride. I remember when it was being constructed, I had such high hopes for the Finding Nemo dark ride! Some parts are very cool but other parts are just meh. The line queue themeing is fantastic! You really feel like you are at the bottom of the sea! From the ground to the railings to the coral everywhere. The best part of the line queue is looking up. I don't want to ruin all the fun for you but there are some cute surprises to look at while waiting in line. The queue is longgggg for this ride! And I've never had to wait more then 5 minutes once getting to the end but the walk in and up to the front takes longer then the actual wait every time I've gone on the ride. Once to the ride, you board onto a clam which moves slowly along the track taking you on a search for Nemo. Silly clown fish is always getting lost! The coolest part of the whole ride is end in which all of the characters are swimming around in the big aquarium with the turtles, sharks and fish! Optical illusion makes for super cool sights! Plus they sing Big Blue World at the end of the ride which is my favorite song from Finding Nemo The Musical! Other then those points the ride is nothing too special. But it's worth seeing the characters in the aquarium to board this ride!

"Good afternoon. We're gonna have a great jump today. Okay, first crank a hard cutback as you hit the wall. There's a screaming bottom curve, so watch out. Remember: rip it, roll it, and punch it." ~Squirt Ya'll have seen "Finding Nemo" or "Finding Dory" or you've heard someone quote the movie. Whatever the case may be, you've touched the butt..i mean boat. Being the comparative person that i am, of course i had to get on this ride as well! When we saw it had a 10 minute wait time, we jumped in line, which moved fairly quickly. The difference to this ride is that you are seated in a clamshell, similar to the ones from Little Mermaid, versus the submarine in California's park. So it's a continuously moving ride, meaning its a bit faster than my home park and less claustrophobic haha. The displays and storyline you go through are tweaked and a bit different as well, but you'll have to experience those yourself as it's all apart of the magic (^_~). You go through Mr.Ray's school, and the jellyfish field, as well as meeting up with Bruce and his fine finned sharky friends before continuing the search for Nemo. Through the EAC with Squirt, Crush and Marlin which is pretty fun too as it lasts a few minutes. At the end of the ride, you meet up with Nemo and his friends who hope you'll come back soon. THEN!!!!!! You're greeted with a ramp that goes through a LARGE aquarium, and leads into a mini aquarium!!! Which is my favorite thing ever haha. They have two levels of exhibits, including rays, all species of fish and a few sharks. They've also got a Florida native, the manatee, as well. I thought that was pretty cool because some people will never take a trip to the everglades to see them in the wild. We honestly spent about an hour going through the aquarium exhibits and taking a few moments to grab a photo with the Bruce display in the "play" area. Although you may have to shoo a child or two out of his mouth so you don't get photobombed. The entire building and the ride are pumped with A/C, so another great place to duck into if you're trying to avoid the heat for a bit. I wouldn't fast pass this ride either since you can catch it with low wait times frequently throughout the day. The location of the ride is probably want attributes to low wait times as well. It's to the back, through the walkway next to the Starbucks (up front by the water fountain plaza), and then to the right behind a mini pond. It took us several minutes to get there from Test Track even though they appear "fairly" close on the map. They're not, haha, they really aren't. 5 stars because it was super cute and the aquarium was a lovely surprise and one i definitely enjoyed.

This was a fun surprise. No need for a fast pass. The line moves fast and it's air conditioned. It is dark while getting to the ride so little ones might enjoy a small flashlight or the light from a cell phone. You are seated in a clamshell to go through the ride. I would say it seats 2 adults and one small child comfortably, or maybe 3 small adults. The ride is cute with only one sort-of-scary part for the little ones to add drama. When you exit the ride be careful in the moving walkway. This is a good time to hold hands but there is someone there to assist. Our biggest surprise was the aquarium after the ride. We Watched manatees snack on lettuce, sharks swim, dolphins, turtles, stingrays and more!! There's even a scuba diver in a long tube that interacts with the crowd. It's amazing and educational too. Don't forget to snap a picture as you peek from the inside the sharks mouth in the kids play area. Oh, and please if you have little ones don't pass up TURTLE TALK! It is incredibly delightful and fun for both kids and adults. Kids sit up front, parents in back of a little theater room while the turtle interacts with the crowd. This experience is worth it especially on a hot day in the park. It gives you a few minutes to sit, breathe, learn and smile.

This ride is so slow thay the only up side is that, if there's no line, it might be a nice way to get a baby to fall asleep. I mean... this is the slowest ride in all the Disney theme parks. Half that time I didn't even know what we were looking at... empty tanks of water... plastic jellyfish... I have no idea. It's a real snoozer.

Finding Nemo was one of my favorite Disney movies and I must say that there really wasn't much to see in this ride. It was a bit boring. This is coming from an adult's perspective and it might be a good time to take a quick cat nap since the ride is under low lighting. I find that the fun part is after the ride when you exit into the aquarium area, Turtle Talk with Crush, and a picture opportunity for the kids with big bad Bruce.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends is air conditioned and offers a welcome respite from the Florida heat. The line for the ride snakes through several rooms which guide guests from land, a boardwalk, to under the sea. Under water is darker and light dances through the "water" above to the floor. As one moves through the rooms closer to the ride, look above to see the underside of a boat and the bottom of a pier, which add to the under water experience. The fast pass line skips much of this journey. Board the clamshells to experience The Finding Nemo journey. The floor in front of the clamshells moves as does the floor at the ride's exit. If you are traveling with someone disabled who cannot move quickly, ask the Disney attendant to slow the floor; the staff has a remote that can do this. I am a scrapbooker and love taking pictures on rides, usually with my phone because it's convenient. This ride is difficult to get good pictures. At the beginning of the ride, Disney requests no flash photography. Much of the ride uses animated characters on disguised flat screens to add to realism. My phone camera doesn't have a shutter speed high enough to capture these images without blurring. After the ride, the building contains aquariums with different fish and mammals. I especially love the manatees. One room has replicas of the three sharks from the movie, which make great photo spots. One of the sharks is posed to allow shots of your family inside its mouth. Of note, no Disney photo pass photographers are available so bring your phone or a camera.

This is a slow-moving air-conditioned ride that is a brief following of the Finding Nemo story. It is set along in the backdrop of the coral reef there at the park, so it's a nice blend of current animation with natural beauty. While it's not going to satisfy any thrill-seekers, it is a great ride for the kids, and is a great way to beat the heat.
