The best time to go on the new Finding Nemo Submarine ride at Disneyland

When is the best time to go on the new Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage at Disneyland?



Friday is better than a Saturday, but not very good. Thursdays or Wednesdays are usually pretty good.

My recommendation would be for you to be at the gates when they open and rush to the ride (or to go during Fantasmic). It’s not a Fast Pass ride, because the lines will diminish probably end of this year (or by next year).



We got a 45 minute wait for Finding Nemo on a Thursday the week after New Years (one of the deadest times of the year) when everything else we went on was 5-10 minutes. So by what I hear, we cut the line time down by more than half of what most people are experiencing.

I think the only way you’ll get 30 minutes or less on a Friday is in the first ten minutes of park opening or during Fantasmic.

Basically, the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is like the Fantasyland rides (Snow White, Pinnochio, etc.) only in small tight spaces and with their latest video projection technology (very little animatronics in this one). Definitely worth a ride for the Submarine atmosphere, the visuals, and a few gags.


So I’d save Finding Nemo for first or last.
