A classic Disneyland submarine ride inspired by Pixar’s Finding Nemo.
Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is one of the most unique attractions at Disneyland Park. Guests board small submarines and descend beneath the waters of the lagoon to explore an underwater world inspired by Pixar’s Finding Nemo.
Location
The attraction is located in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park near the Matterhorn Bobsleds.
Nearby Locations:
- Matterhorn Bobsleds
- Autopia
- Space Mountain
- Astro Orbitor
The Queue
The queue winds along the edge of the lagoon where guests can watch the submarines depart and return.
Guests board the submarines from a dock and enter the vehicle through a hatch on top.
The Ride
The submarine appears to descend beneath the ocean as guests travel past coral reefs, underwater ruins, and scenes featuring Nemo, Dory, and other characters from the film.
For longtime Disney fans, the attraction may also bring back memories of the now-retired 20,000 Leagues Under the Seasubmarine ride that once operated at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
