Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage revives an older ride, but with so many new twists that that it's barely recognizable. The submarines are rebuilt and modernized with blue and yellow paint, but the best upgrade is the underwater story-telling, where Imagineers have packed much of the animated film's fun into a short trip.

After passing a coral reef and underwater city, voyagers encounter Nemo and pals, with convincingly real film clips visible through the windows. Everyone seems to like it, but you'll enjoy it most if you saw and liked the movie.

Advice About Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage
  • There are moments of darkness and a simulated explosion during the ride, which could scare smaller children. Unless you judge that this will be a big problem for your child, the rest of the trip more than makes up for it.
  • Each submarine holds 40 guests. You might not like it if you're susceptible to claustrophobia.
  • Take a look at the subs running before you get on. Even though it will feel like they're under water, they never submerge.
