Finding Nemo at WDW?

[cardaway]

Outside gift shops, what has WDW added that is Finding Nemo related? Any additions to the parades? Roaming characters?

We briefly saw what look like a very large Nemo plush being pushed by CM's near the Living Seas Pavillion at EPCOT, that might be a good place to start your search

I've heard reports (and seen some pictures) that Nemo is making some appearances outside the living seas along with some seaweed people.

Thanks ghost1000. Could you tell how they made this possible? Does Nemo have legs now? Is he now multiple times actual size?

I was thinking of this because Sebastian (IMO the best character from The Little Mermaid) was never a walking character in the parks, only a animatronic on a parade float. I was wondering what they would do with Nemo given almost everybody is crab size.

I was thinking a CM walking with a puppet in a fish bowl.

Last week at the Living Seas, the Nemo was just a statue type thing and I also saw a seaweed thing walking around.

Nemo is making appearances outside The Living Seas. He is about 4 feet tall, 6 feet long and rolls around. His movements seem to be random--he doesn't necessarily stop for people who come up to him. His appearances are short--about 15-20 minutes at a time. We were able to grab a quick picture with him. The seaweed people are about 8-10 feet tall and walk around Nemo. They do actually come up to you--they sneaked up behind my husband and bear-hugged him!
My girls loved the Nemo!

Actually Sebastian was a walking character; I got my picture with him sometime in the late 90s. He is one of my favorites!

A huge Nemo seems a little weird.

Actually...

As for Nemo, he is the same Nemo that was previously making appearences at the TTC and the pre-parade for Share A Dream Come True at MK. Don't know how long he'll be at Living Seas, but adding him seems like a nice addition.
