Does anyone know 'where' it will be on Friday? I found out it is at the aquarium on Sat afternoon, but we are busy all weekend and hoping to see this on Friday!
DISNEYLAND SUBMARINE TAKES TO THE ROAD FOR THE YEAR OF A MILLION DREAMS!

ANAHEIM, CALIF. April, 26th, 2007 --- As the new Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is being readied for its June 11 premiere at Disneyland, the Nemo Dream Mobile will be coming out of the water and onto the road beginning May 4 for a spring-summer tour of the West. This road-tripping submarine-on-wheels will bring some of the magic of Disneyland Resort and its new summer attraction to cities in the western United States and Canada.

Designed to resemble one of the yellow submarines in the Disneyland fleet, the Nemo Dream Mobile will travel to Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Fresno, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Tucson, Phoenix and other locales, appearing in a variety of settings including landmarks, festivals, schools, aquariums, museums, parks, boys & girls clubs, sporting events and parades.

With a length of 43 feet, a height of nearly 13 feet, and a colorful design evoking the classic Disneyland submarine fleet, the Nemo Dream Mobile will bring news of an all-new submarine attraction opening this summer as part of The Year of a Million Dreams at Disneyland.

Along for the voyage, and appearing atop the Nemo Dream Mobile in select locations, will be Nigel, the friendly pelican from the Disney?Pixar film Finding Nemo, and the scavenging seagulls (“Mine, Mine, Mine”) from the movie. The vehicle will also convert, on select occasions, into an “aquarium on wheels,” featuring surprise appearances by Crush, the cruisin’ turtle from Finding Nemo, who can take questions and chat with small groups of guests in a “road show” version of “Turtle Talk with Crush,” the popular interactive animation experience from Disneyland Resort.

The Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, debuting June 11, will feature extensively enhanced versions of the original 1959 Disneyland submarines in a new adventure with Nemo and his fish friends from the Disney?Pixar movie Finding Nemo. Submarine voyagers will go on an underwater expedition featuring cutting-edge imaging technology which will bring the Finding Nemo characters amazingly to life.

The Nemo Dream Mobile will make its first stops May 4 through 6 in Vancouver, British Columbia. It will voyage onward according to the following itinerary:

May 7-11 - Seattle, Washington

May 14-15 - Portland, Oregon

May 17-23 - San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose, California

May 24-30 - Sacramento area, California

May 31 – June 1 - Fresno, California

June 4-6 - Salt Lake City, Utah

June 11 - Disneyland for “Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage” launch

June 13-15 - Las Vegas, Nevada

June 17-18 - Albuquerque, New Mexico

June 21-22 - Tucson, Arizona

June 26-29 - Phoenix, Arizona

There's not much new information here, but at the following link they say the bus/sub will be at "Various Vancouver Locations" on Friday, so it may be a matter of meeting with local media or possily testing out the equipment and working out any bugs in an unannounced location since it will be the first day out on the road for the whole tour. Sort of a "soft opening" for the bus/sub perhaps?

My DH just spotted the submarine on !-5 a little North of Seattle heading on its way to Vancouver! A few days ago, on anoter board, I saw the locations of where the sub will be in Vancouver, but I can't find it right now. If I find it, I'll be sure to post it. And, if anyone has any infol on where it will be in Seattle, please post that also!

LOL....please forgive my typos....I'm fighting off the flu today Better now than next week when we will be at DL !

 

[disneyfan4ever54]

I guess the schedule that I saw was the one that you already spoke of. I was thinking it has specific locations for Friday, but it was just Saturday and Sunday. I hope you find the info. for Friday. My DS's birthday is on Monday the 7th, the day the sub will be in the Seattle area on that day. I thought it would be cool to bring him there on his birthday! I'm still searching for info. on the Seattle stops.

I was driving along I-5 in Northern Washington and I passed it! I was just so excited! I was waving... they were waving! It was so surreal! We're going to Disneyland next week, so this was just the start of a truly magical vacation!!!!

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

Oh thats so cool! We are actually heading down to Bellingham for the weekend and I was hoping we could see it tomorrow, but I live 45 mins east of the city, so don't want to drive all the way in and not be able to find it.

merryweather514, That's so cool that you saw it too and that they waved to you. What a great experience! When my DH told me he saw the sub on I-5, I was so jeaulos....LOL. My DS's birthday is this coming Monday, the 7th, the first day that the sub is scheduled to be in the Seattle area. I am furiously trying to figure out where it will be. so that we can go see it. That would be a real special birthday surprise for him. Hopefully, some more detailed info. will be released soon. We are also going to DL next week, and I too thought it would so fun to see the sub before we went. What are the dates for your trip? I hope you have a great time!
