How long for Seas with Nemo and Friends at Epcot?

[jenhelgren]

I have not been to Epcot in ages!! How does the Nemo ride work? Do you walk through the aquarium and viewing tanks and then board the ride? How much time should I allow in our plans to view the fish and ride Nemo if we visit between 9 and 10 in the morning without FP+?

I can't help with wait times, but the Nemo ride ends near the aquarium area.

I thought that I read somewhere that the actual ride doesn't even have much of a wait because it runs continuously like Mermaid in MK but I have no idea how big the aquarium is or how long it takes to look around some. We do not want to do Turtle Talk with Crush just the Nemo ride and explore the aquarium.

Ride first, then the aquarium area. It was a walk on when we went in the late afternoon and I don't think lines are ever very long.

I would allow at least half an hour to see the aquarium area, but honestly, you could spend a lot more time than that. It just depends on how much time you want to devote to it.

I think an hour to ride and explore is probably sufficient.

Thank you! I never used to make suck a set touring plan in the past but picking set FP+ times is driving me crazy!!

On the aquarium part I think it depends on your family. My son loves the manatees, so we spend an hour or more watching them (he thinks its really funny that the manatees hide when lots of people come in the room, but come back in as soon as people leave.) Then we hit the jellyfish.... which you can spend time watching if you just let them know you aren't going to see Crush yet. Then there are the dolphin education sessions. Overall we spend about 2 hours.

I usually walk right onto Seas with Nemo, at most a five-ten minute wait. How much time you spend at the aquarium is up to you. It's pretty neat to walk around if you're son is loving it then hang for a while, if he's getting bored then head out. Don't forget to hit up Turtle Talk with Crush before you leave.

I would allow an hour. Between the ride and then afterwards there's turtle talk with crush which is pretty cute. The aquarium is a good size but not huge it's all one big room, there's also a play area that the kids may enjoy, you climb into Bruce's mouth for a cool photo op. The ride itself usually never has a wait or atleast that we've experienced. We have always walked right now

The ride itself isn't too long, maybe 10 minutes? But when you exit the ride you go into the aquarium area, and we spent a good 30-45 minutes looking at everything. There's also exhibits in addition to the giant aquariums. The Nemo ride dumps you out right near the entrance to Turtle Talk with Crush. We planned our fast pass so we could go into Turtle Talk right after Nemo.

The ride is about 4 minutes and you can probably get through the inside in a half hour or so unless you like to linger.

Always a great highlight, for both kids and adults alike.
