The Seas with Finding Nemo
The Cast Member Previews and Annual Passholder previews are now over and regular soft openings will begin next week on Disney World’s next attraction, The Seas with Nemo & Friends at Epcot. I’ve been on it four times now and rate it a solid C ticket, possibly a D ticket. They’ve included a huge queue for this thing, so obviously they’re expecting crowds.
From here on out thar’ be spoilers. So warned ye’ be.
You enter the attraction by passing three seagull’s from the movie, through the old pavilion entrance. If you want to enter the pavilion to see Turtle Talk with Crush or the aquarium, you’ll continue to enter through the old exit. The new entrance is only for the attraction. Also, there is no fastpass for this attraction. This is a good thing as the capacity for this attraction appears large. So as long as the attraction keeps movie, the queue will keep moving. No need for fastpass to artificially slow the queue down.
The initial queue hasn’t changed much in layout or lighting, but the scenery is a nice overlay of beach themeing with some foreshadowing and humor spread throughout. When you leave that queue you quickly (and somewhat abruptly) transition to the ‘under-water’ portion of the queue.
