    Default New Nemo Attraction, Worth it?

    I'll be making a trip to WDW on the 12th and the new Nemo ride wasn't open last time I was there. Is it worth the wait if there is a line? It will be me and my Aunt, so no kids along on this trip.

    Nemo the Musical? Yes

    The Seas with Nemo? Not really if there is a significant wait. It ebbs and flows so to speak, so you can often catch it right and not have a significant wait. It's cute, but not worth a long wait in my humble opinion.

    I'll second that opinion, DisneyRox.

    Nemo the Musical is a beautiful play, though very long. Definitely worth seeing.

    Nemo the ride at Epcot didn't impress me. The effect of having the Nemo characters in the same tank as the real fish wasn't till the end, and a very small piece of the ride. It's a very cool effect, if only it had been used for more of the ride.

    It sounds like The Living Seas might be out for me this trip then. Where is the Nemo show at?

    If you were a big fan of Living Seas in it's previous format, you might be disappointed. The end effect and the EAC effect w/ Crush are cool but I still miss the old Sea Cabs. Still, it's cute and if you like Nemo, you'll like the show.

    I will say that when we were there last week, we actually saw dolpins (which I had not seen there in a LONG time) and 2 giant sea turtles in the aquarium. That was very cool.

    We were there last week and it was a walk on. Not real impressed with the ride. I think little kids will love it, but I would not wait over 20 minutes for it. Fun to see at least once, but I think I will skip it in the future.

    The Nemo ride is VERY worth it. Give it a try anyway and form your own opinion.

    Also, the Nemo attraction is WAY better than the old Living Seas, which was very boring and outdated.

    2 opinions really shouldn't seal the deal. Try it. I was skeptical before I went on it ,but the queue area is very well done and the ride is very Disney. The original Sea Cabs had no theming.....

    Nemo-The Musical is at AK.

    The Nemo ride is cute; I actually liked the area where you wait in line. However, once you get inside you must try Turtle Talk w/Crush. It was soooo funny, not to be missed.

    I would give both the musical and the ride a shot. The musical in AK is amazing. We waited about an hour to get in, after passing by a few times and not going in because of the wait, we figured we didn't have much choice if we wanted to see it. The ride is pretty good and worth seeing; the queue is really well-done.

    Default Nemo Ride & Show

    Definitely the Nemo show at AK is worth seeing! We saw it in March and absolutely loved it - the line fills up fast when we were there atleast 150 people got turned away so get there early!!!

    The Nemo ride to Epcot is cute - I am glad we went on it. It would be especially interesting to the little ones. If I had to miss this ride I would not be upset.

    I think the Nemo ride is worth doing once, at least. It's not the best ride in the park, but it's not a waste of time, either. You shouldn't wait an excessively long time for it, but the queue area is nicely done and cute. We waited about half an hour and didn't feel like we'd wasted our time, though we also weren't overwhelmed by the ride.

    A lot of people like Turtle Talk, as well, and we enjoy just walking around, looking at the manatees. It also has a nemo-themed gift shop; if anyone in your family is a fan of the movie, it's worth checking out.

    If you want to skip the ride and just go inside the pavilion, go in through the gift shop.

    I missed out on the Musical in AK the day we were there. They had technical problems and had to close it down for the day.

    However, I really enjoyed the ride at Epcot. I thought it was fun, and I loved the effects it used! I'd recommend it.

    Personally i think the que is the best part and worth going through. The effect of gradualy slipping under the water is really cool. The ride itself is OK. Its a must see once type of thing. If you will be going back with kids in the future you may want to wait it out. If the lins is short then go for it.

    I thought the ride was cute and enjoyable. It is at least worth doing once - I try to have that motto with all rides at Disney.

    I agree with most here.

    The musical in AK is a must. I was not too impressed with the Nemo ride. The effect was just not that good. If the line is short I would jump on though.

    The Crush Show is a MUST especially with small kids but adults w/o kids would still love it. it's a howl. If the line for the Nemo ride is long I would go through the gift shop and just catch the Crush show. It was a highlight of our week.

    First off, I am against the Pixarization of WDW in the first place, as I've stated in other posts. The Nemo ride really reaffirmed this; there is absolutely no real story-telling going on in it, and it is so far off of the vision of The Living Seas, EPCOT Center, and Walt Disney's EPCOT that it is laughable.

    I personally think that the original 1981 EPCOT Center attractions should have been kept, and Soarin', Mission: SPACE, Test Track, and *possibly* this added without destroying the originals.

    We enjoyed the ride. The line kept moving so the wait didn't seem that long. I thought it was great especially when Peach asks you at the end to take her with you. "It's a great song, but they keep singing it over and over again."

    Whoa! You don't have to be so negative.

    I disagree with your assessments.
