Finding Nemo line question

[Minuet888]

Hi,
Last time I was at DL it was when Finding Nemo first opened and the lines were naturally crazy (like 3 hours long and wrapped around the Matterhorn). Now that it has been a couple of years I was wondering if anyone knew if the lines were any better for Finding Nemo?
Thanks!

Hi - we were at DL last week and Nemo lines were still pretty nuts most of the time during the day (45-120 min waits) - but we rode it around 11.30pm one night and only had a 5 minute wait!
I was pretty underwhelmed by it I have to say and would go so far as to say it is missable if you have limited time - certainly I wouldn't line up for an hour or more for it!

We went on it last time (I had ankle surgery and was in a wheelchair so we didn't have the line).
While it might be missable for me, it won't be for my 3 year old who loves Nemo. He may not be awake at 11:30pm lol. We will try early morning or one of us waits in line while the other takes him on autotopia or something.
Thanks!

I was there recently and it was half an hour to 45 minutes. Do it early in the morning as it is a slow loader and they can only do so many subs with so many passengers. Near closing and early in the morning will see the shortest lines.

I've found that the lines for Nemo drop during the parades, HOWEVER, they spike up a great deal immediately after the parades, so plan accordingly. If the little one can't last until late at night, if you can get on one of the first couple subs great, but keep in mind that during parades are not bad times either.

I am not sure what crowds look like now, but in March we went first thing when we arrived on a Thursday morning (not at MM but at the normal opening) and the line was only around 30 minutes. It really didn't seem so bad. I think it never hurts to just check - I honestly think we waited longer to get into Autopia right after (although that was fun, too! )

In January, it always seemed to have longer lines than I was willing to stand in. Then on our last day, DH noticed that thee was no one in line. The cms said the ride was closed and to come back later. We walked around for a bit more and then noticed they opened it. We waited about 20 minutes to ride. It was just an okay ride. I'm glad we didn't wait in a long line to ride it.

Can anyone ask to use the handicap viewing area? If so, that's what I want to do next time. Little to no wait...
