We will be there in one week and I am curious what the Nemo line has been like lately?
 
Pretty erratic. Always longer first thing in the AM, an hour or more, but by late afternoon it seems to sometimes die down to 30 minutes or so. Other days it never really dies down. EE days are the worst, I walked in on a EE day this week and the line was 75 minutes at 10:05am.

Now that's weekdays, all bets are off on the weekend. Hour long + all day
 
I went by this Monday, around 7:00p, and the CM told me the wait was 60 minutes.
 
We were there on Tuesday, which was an EE day. The morning was horrendous! Our DDs feel asleep in their strollers at around 5pm so we decided to try the line again since you can take strollers in line. It was only a 35 minute wait at that time. It was perfect because the girls got a little nap and we FINALLY got to ride Nemo :).
 

We were there Tues the 11th and hopped in line right at closing (8 pm) and it was 35 min, and the line moved pretty good so it didn't seem that long, and hey, all the other rides were closed so no big deal, lol.
 
DD and DH were there on Wednesday 9/12 and got in line around noon-ish. The sign said an hour wait but they were on the sub in about 30 minutes. At park opening the wait was closer to 2 hours.
 
We just got back - arrived Monday the 10th and left Friday the 14th.

We did EE Tues. the 11th. Were there at gates a half hour before EE. Were maybe third group back in our line but had a slow CM checking us in. They waited until EXACTLY 9am to open the gates. Was surprised that in "off season" there were still quite a lot of people lined up for EE. We half ran/fast walked to Nemo and got in the third sub of the morning. By the time we got off it had all taken 1/2 hour total, so had 1/2 hour of EE left for other rides.

We never saw the line below 35 minutes the whole time we were there. At times it was up to one and a half hours. Usually was about 50 - 60 minutes. The CM's I talked to said going during parade wouldn't make a difference because everyone was thinking that would be a good strategy. Of course, the whole resort area started filling up on Thursday night so I'm sure weekends were another story.
 
So, is it better to go first thing (we're staying off property, so no EE) in the morning or wait until almost closing??? I no its probably really hard to predict, but just suggestions...
 
Don't even bother first thing in the AM. Wait until late afternoon when there is shade in the line and it is shorter.
 
We waited 40 minutes on Tuesday 9/11 at about 3 in the afternoon. We were there Friday 9/15 and it was 60 minutes, per the CM. We tried the alternate viewing room this time, just to check it out, and it was OK, just not the sub experience. DS (3) wanted no part of either, so I guess we are off the hook to ride this ride every time we go.

If you're one of the say first hundred or so people in the park, go for it. If not, save it for the evening.
 
I see you don't have EE, so I'm probably not going to be much help. We were there from Sept. 6-9th. Most of our trip it was between 45-60 mins. As high as 90 mins at one point. We used our EE, walked on and was on the 2nd set of subs out and still had 30 mins of EE left when we were done.
