Finding Nemo and Fantasmic Questions

[bdlily]

Okay, now that Finding Nemo isn't so new do I still need to get there as soon as the park opens to ride it without a huge wait? Or can I meander over there after other Fantasyland rides?

Also, I'm not finding Fantasmic times on the Disneyland website for my visit. Do they not post those on the website? Or is it not going to be happening while I'm there (which is April 8, 9) which I can't imagine since it's right before Easter. Whaddya think?

I'm not sure about Nemo, we haven't rode it for awhile, so I don't know what the wait times are now.

But as for Fantasmic, it's going to be dark all of April, May and half of June. So there will be no showings during your visit.

Dang. Double post!

I was there last week (3/15-3/20)....Nemo wait times hovered between 25-65 minutes the majority of the trip. We went on it on a Thursday night (around 7:30ish) in which the wait was only 'suppose' to be 35 minutes. It was more like an hour.

But if you're a fan of the movie, defiantly worth the wait. Sorry, but can't help you on Fantasmic. I didn't hear it was going under renovations for the next month though.

There are basically two types of rides. First is the ride you do over and over again like Buzz, bobsleds, ToT and Toy Story Mania and second is the ones that you see once or twice and that is that.

For me I skip HISTA as I done seen that before and go back once every couple years for a refresher and the same for Star Tours. Nemo is of the second group of rides. Unless you are a Nemo fanatic or love the subs then you seen it once and do not go back after the second or third ride. I am seeing the lines getting shorter and in February saw a 5 minute wait. It will stay around 15 to 30 minutes from now on except during peak seasons. do Buzz first and get FP for Space Mountain then do Nemo and Autopia then back to Space Mountain.

The entertainment schedules are reasonably accurate as to show times and what is happening. If it says no Fantasmic then there is no Fantasmic.

Thanks all!

Fantasmic being dark makes one decision easier.

We'll hit Nemo early.
