Nemo in the afternoon?

[sandymandr]

I am just starting to plan my trip and am wondering if Nemo ride is at all do-able in the afternoon/ evening on a very busy day? We arrive Monday 2pm ish on 3/17 (week before Easter!!!) and would like to do Nemo asap because we only have one EE and want to spend that in FL. Anyone know approximate wait times for Nemo when it is SUPER busy? Or advice re: is there a time in the evening in which the crowds might lighten? I thought we would just mostly soak up being there that first evening and try to catch the electric parade, early to bed for our EE the next morning. Wednesday is non-EE, but we want to go to Toontown for the morning madness. Thursday (last day) is EE, but not for us, so I figure we won't have time for Nemo that day. Help if you can!! TIA!!

Just coming back from disney. most times were 90 minutes and at one poinf 2 hours!!!!!!
so our best way to do it is the EE. we booked it from the entrance and only waited 25 minutes!
Then when we asked the Cm's they said late at night or during fantasmic. it is only about 30 minutes then!
I must say it was an amazing ride! I have some great pics if you want a preview and it is better seeing it during the day than at night!

The line seems to always be long. We were at the gates for opening, and were like the 2nd sub. We still had lots of time to do other fantasyland rides before opening, so our entire EE day was not lost.

Also, if you can do EE on Thursday, then do MMTTM, which starts when the park opens, you will have more opportunity to do those other rides. We did EE on one and 1/2 days (we arrived half way into early entry) and did everything we wanted to.

Where are you staying? If it is onsite, then you can go to all the EE days, even if your package only includes one.

We were there the weekend/early part of week before Thanksgiving and the shortest we ever saw the Nemo line was 30 minutes at 10:00 p.m. The CM at the end of the line told us it was the shortest we would likely see it, so we went for it. The lines during the day were insane and went all the way up the walkway next to the Matterhorn and beyond.

We had great luck hopping in the Nemo line right at park closing (7:55 when park closed at 8 pm). We waited a whopping 20 minutes. I honestly don't think it was worth waiting longer than that.

We waited 25 minutes about 45 minutes before closing on a Saturday (12am).. We didn't even ask how long the wait was, just crossed our fingers and we got lucky..

we never even got onto Nemo during our trip. One morning we booked over there and they said that it was shut down and wasnt sure when it would reopen and all the other times it was a LONG line and we didnt think it would be worth the wait. Someday we will get on it. Or someday they will put a fastpass on it.

We went Dec 9th and waited about 30 minutes get on. We went straight the once we entered the park at 8am.

My friend went about 2 weeks before that and almost just walked right on during the parade.

I liked the Nemo right alright. Not worth more than 30 minute wait to me and less now that I have been on it.

Thanks everyone!! We will be staying off-site, across the street at the Carousel Inn, so we only get the one EE day. Maybe we will try our first day during the parade or fireworks, and if that doesn't worh out, we will go Wed (nonEE) ASAP when the park opens. Thanks again! I'm sooooooooooooo excited!!!
