I'll be honest, this ride just didn't do it for me. We hadn't been on it in years and decided to give it a try for old times' sake, but it ended up being a bit of a letdown. The Finding Nemo theme is cute, and I can see how it might appeal to younger kids, but overall it just wasn't very exciting. On the plus side, it wasn't crowded at all, so we had an entire row to ourselves, which was super nice. It also worked as a good spot to sit and rest for a bit during a long park day. That said, it's probably not something we'll be adding back onto our must do list for future trips to Disneyland. read more

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is located at the Tomorrowland area of Disneyland. It originally opened as Submarine Voyage on June 14, 1959 and then was reopened as Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage on June 11, 2007. You ride in a submarine and go under water through the journey of Finding Nemo. Like an actual submarine, the spaces are tight so you're shoulder to shoulder with the people next to you. We were both falling asleep pretty much from the start to the end of the ride. It was about a 13 minute ride but it felt like way longer. We rode this ride because we had some time to kill but I would skip it otherwise. read more

I tried out this ride late at night with my kids. The line was about a 25min wait and moved very slowly. Once it was our turn we went down into the submarine and everyone had a seat that looked out one of the submarine windows. You then just watch as there are some videos of fish like Nemo and Marlin and dory. It's a cute story and every spot on the submarine is good to watch the fish. The ride is okay but definitely needs an upgrade. read more

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage - Submarine - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

This ride is classic nostalgic Disneyland. The line cue is outdoors. Not too much shelter on a rainy day , some shade on a hot sunny day. It can be a longer wait as this is a slower ride. You have to climb a few steps down in to the submarine. It's not good for those with mobility issues or for people who do not like enclosed spaces. The ride is fun and good for all ages. It has Mr Ray and Dory, just vibrant for the most part. There is only one park when they are in the darkest part of the ocean and see an angler fish. After you are die. With the ride there are other rides like autopia, the Disneyland railroad , and the monorail. There are restrooms close as well. read more

"Swish your tail And dive on in And trust...That...if...you Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming. Life isn't all that grim!"~Dory This was a fun experience for both of our daughters, lol our 9 month old was so excited that she tried standing up in the window! I love the movie, so it was fun just hearing Crush narrating the ride and seeing characters like Dory! It can get dark which can scare youngsters, but it's necessary to see everything. I would recommend this underwater sea adventure next time you're in Tomorrowland, wait time wasn't long and we'd return! Not to mention the view of the ride even before entering is gorgeous! And it's for all ages! SYOY! :-) read more

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage - Look at this gorgeous view of the ride! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

I haven't had a chance to ride the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage in years. This ride was recently refurbished. The lagoon was drained, and the attraction had fresh new paint, new coral, and seaweed. I think there looked to be an upgrade on the special effects and lighting, too! My husband and I were visiting Disneyland for the Halloween Half Marathon. We had a chance to ride the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage ride. The wait time was less than 15 minutes, and it was the first time that my husband ever rode the Nemo ride! Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage doesn't have a lightning lane option either. The wait can get relatively hot, especially during the summer. This ride is for any height. It's slow, dark, and is considered a water ride. The attraction is located in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park. When boarding the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, be careful! The steps are really small! You can also hit your head going down or coming out of the submarine. The seating is relatively small. If you're claustrophobic, I highly recommend not riding this ride. The ride is really small, and it can get hot pretty quickly in the submarine! You'll get to see a slightly different view depending on which side of the submarine you sit at! You'll see Dory, Marlin, Bruce the Shark, Nemo, Bubbles, and so much more on the submarine voyage! You may even see some scuba divers and artifacts of an ancient civilization! The ride is about 14 minutes long. It was great to experience this ride at least one time. read more

This has always been one of those rides at Disneyland that I only go on if there is no line. Even when they renovated it with the "Finding Nemo" theme, I felt they could have done more with it. I do love the Nemo movies, but you are basically watching highlights of the movie through a porthole. Going through the waterfall is probably the most exciting part. Submarine Voyage opened not too long after Disneyland opened back in the 1950's. It is located in the Tomorrowland area. I like when you walk up to the ride and hear the seagulls say "Mine, Mine, Mine". You might want to avoid this ride if you are claustrophobic or don't like sitting right next to strangers. Seating is a little tight in these submarines. read more

Since the last time I've been on the Finding Nemo ride, I believe they refurbished and updated it since I enjoyed it much more recently than from what I remember. However, I still do preface that anything over a 15-20 minute wait may really be pushing it. You wait to board on the yellow submarine as you go down into the waters of the Great Barrier Reef. It starts off fairly educational and then when you dive deeper you get to meet the beloved characters from the Finding Nemo series and see what their up to, along with some familiar lines from the movie as well. The glass isn't as dulled and scratched up and the bubbles aren't so obscuring either. Definitely much easier to peer through and gaze out into the water. Fairly simple "ride" that honestly works more like a moving aquarium "show". It does still get a bit stuffy in there and may not be the best for someone who is claustrophobic, but not bad overall. read more

It's been easily at least 10 yrs since I ridden this ride. I am definitely not claustrophobic but if you are,..... this ride may not be you. Ever since Covid I do not like being way too close to others. I just didn't enjoy this ride..... and being in a tight close area for approximately 14 min. My son wanted to ride today and that's the reason we did. Hopefully we won't in the future, this was my personal experience. read more

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage - Outside - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

A cute ride for the kids and a good way to take a quick break from walking. It highlights parts of the Finding Nemo movie. This ride could be 10 times better if it had real fish and plants. It can be a little claustrophobic and the steps are very steep. Make sure to use the restroom before getting on the ride, as there's no way to exit. Overall, not my favorite ride, it could definitely be better. read more

From looking at this attraction from afar, it looks beautiful and would be fun! Looks are deceiving! As an adult, it is hard to board and deboard into the submarine. Especially if plus sized. Additionally, you are crammed in there and you go around for awhile. Somehow I get convinced to try it every couple of years, and show that person why I detest this attraction. If you are an adult without kids, do yourself a favor and skip this ride. read more

It's definitely a kiddie ride, but it's also cool because the subs were decommissioned for so long before they came back as the Finding Nemo sub voyage. I'm glad they were able to save this attraction and update it. Recently went on since we had family visiting from New Zealand and the little 5 year old chose this ride. It had been a while for me too since I'd been on it and it was cool to see not only the kid's face but also the adults faces when they realized we were really in a submarine going under water. If you have kids it's a must or if you want to sit down and unwind for a bit, this is the ride to go on. read more

It's been years since I had been on the submarines at Disneyland and I briefly had gone on them after Disney rethemed it to Finding Nemo. And ever since COVID, getting into one of those submarines was really LOW on my priority list. However, my husband told me he had never been on it so we made it a point to wait in line and get on it. We did ride it and shuffled on and sat down in the claustrophobic seats next to quite a few strangers. We watched as the watery depths changed and saw the different little scenes from the original ride move into introducing characters from Finding Nemo. You see Nemo, Dory, Marlin, and even Squirt as you float by. This is definitely for the kids if you want to be contained in a small yellow submarine for what feels like forever. This ride needs a refurb STAT as we saw some of the barnacles knocked off and the bolts underneath peeking out. Glad we crossed it off of his list but it'll be another decade before I get on that ride again. read more

Interesting ride as it slowly moves you through a lagoon while you sit in a decent size "submarine ". The boat doesn't fully submerge but the windows allow a view of underwater activity. It's been there a long time and currently has Nemo theming. Kind of a cramped space if you don't like that, you have to go down a tight spiral stair to enter. read more

Finding Nemo Submarines is not one of my favorite rides. We would have skipped it if my youngest hadn't seen the ride. One look, and he was super excited about the ability to ride in a submarine. His excitement coupled with a 15 min. wait means we rode the ride. Ride transitions from fake sea creatures to projections of Nemo and friends. It is the idea that riders stumbled upon Nemo and his friend, and that new technology gives us the ability to hear what they are saying. After the ride, I asked him if he liked it. He is old enough to know that the projections of characters are fake, but did think the corals were real. One of my older children commented that it was hard to see the scenes through all the bubbles. Really young children will get the most from this ride. It is very tight inside the submarines. Know that you will possibly be sitting shoulder to shoulder with the person next to you. read more

The Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage traumatized my child, and it wasn't especially fun for the rest of us. I have vague memories of going on this ride as a child. Was there maybe a non-Ariel mermaid down there? I don't know, but in any case, I was basically going in fresh when we visited Disneyland last month. The submarine was one of a handful of attractions we could ride with both our sons, who are three and one, so we decided to check it out. We were warned going in that there would be some steep stairs, and that we would spend the duration of the ride in an enclosed space. We found our way down into the cabin of the submarine, where we sat in a row of small seats fronting individual portholes that served as screens for the voyage. My three-year-old Leo B. was very interested in the barnacles and starfish and bubbles, and would have been happy if we hadn't seen anything else the whole ride. Instead, we went on a journey with Nemo and friends, which was well done and reasonably entertaining. I appreciated the animation while also knowing this would be a skip if I weren't with my children. Unfortunately, the one-two punch of the naval mine explosion and the anglerfish terrified Leo, who crawled onto my lap and started crying that he wanted to get out of the submarine. This was, of course, impossible, and it did not help matters when we were swallowed by a whale. I will say, though, this ride has stayed with him more than any other part of Disneyland. Many times over the last month, he's said, apropos of nothing, "I want to talk about the submarine," and I've had to go through the whole sequence of events with him--the explosion, the scary fish, the whale. It was definitely a notable experience for him, though not one we'll go out of our way to repeat. read more

This updated version of 20,000 leagues under the sea is really not much better than its original story. Instead of Captain Nemo, now you are on a journey with Nemo the fish. You still get into a submarine that appears to be descending underneath the water. You pass my a Mickey snorkling and see a coral reef. From there you enter a dark cave where you encounter Nemo in search of an active volcano. Along the way you meet some of Nemo's friends including Dory and Bruce. There really isn't any plot line to it. You sit in a tight submerged submarine from the start and you end up at the same place where you have started once you make your ascent from the cave. Personally I miss the giant squid from the former movie. Do be careful when getting in or out of the sub. It is a winding staircase and you need to hold on. On a positive note the subs look nice from the outside and you can get good pictures of the Matterhorn from the boarding area. Interesting enough the Magic Kingdom did away with the submarine ride years ago in order to set up Be our Guest restaurant, Gaston's tavern, the 7 dwarfs mine train, and the journey of the little Mermaid. This ride is a piece of Disney history but I'm not a fan of this attraction. Located in Tomorrowland in Disneyland. read more

Great for kids looking for a little immersive show and not a thrill ride. I remember the previous non-Nemo version of this ride and it's a lot better now. Great use of projectors and props to make it seem like you're in the ocean. Wait is usually medium on the Disney scale as well. It is completely dark inside though and you have to go up/down a spiral ladder to enter so be sure that's ok. read more

Some people might think it's kind of lame being in a tiny submarine six feel under the surface, going basically in a circle, but my 18 month old newborn son laughed and giggled hard the entire ride, which made the entire trip worth the price of admission! read more

If you are truly looking for an ada accessible ride then the outpost is for you. No need to wait in line just walk in the side entrance and go to the outpost. In the outpost you see the same thing you'd see in the sub without walking down the stairs. You just walk in the outpost room and watch the video and if it's too loud or if you feel uncomfortable you can walk out at any time. read more

This is a great attraction for kids who are familiar with Nemo and friends. I remember taking my older one to this so many years back. We recently took my younger one here. I will start with the most atrocious part of this attraction - the wait time. Anything but 45 min - 1 hour, even at 8pm when we finally decided to take it. It's a nice immersive experience. You have to climb down the steps and not much space in that cute little sub. It started well with a feel of diving deep to the ocean and then the show begins. You get to meet Nemo & friends. Also tells a cute Nemo story. Some actions like underwater explosions, here and there. My son loved it. Like I said, great ride and experience for kids who love Nemo! read more

Let's explore. People ask me all the time how deep a USN submarine can go? Answer: all the way to the ocean bottom. You just have to make sure it comes back up. At least with this thing, we're taking maybe 20 feet deep. Another question is how many windows are in a USN submarine? Answer: two and one is the washing machine. At least with this thing, both sides of the sub have rows of windows. Passengers don't have to lean over each others shoulder for a view. Another question is do I get seasick? Answer: only when the sub is on the surface during high sea states. At least with this thing, it's all calm seas. Just imagine riding an airplane without the turbulence. Another question is do I get claustrophobic? Answer: no but if you do, then don't get on board because it's cramp and dark. It's a nice little ride to find hidden treasure just below the water's surface. And there are live fish in the water. It's is cold on board so wear a jacket and if near the hatch be aware it's not completely water tight so water will come in. JK a few drops. Overall four stars. If interacting with your kids and visiting a mini aquarium is your type of thing, this is for you. Now excuse me, where did I put my seasick pills? M read more

This was adorable! I didn't realize this was a revamp of a previous ride (20000 leagues under the sea I believe) until later but I enjoyed myself. You go underwater as if you're really in a sub! It was neat and I enjoyed myself. Not necessarily something I'd want to ride again, but cool to experience at least once. read more

This is officially my least favorite ride at Disneyland or Disney World of all time. Do you remember being a kid and laying down in the bath, under the water, goggles on so you could see the water drifting back and forth over your face? Nemo Submarines are like that except there are 40 other people in your bath, the goggles are dirty, the unpleasant scent of mold fills the air, and there is a fun element of mild claustrophobic panic that you can't seem to shake. You might be picturing this ride to have that wistful feeling of old-world Disney, but no. The best part is, you just waited in line for 45 minutes to experience this anxiety activating attraction. The least invasive way to enjoy this ride is to walk around it and watch it from above. If I could never ride this one again, I would be totally ok with that and even give a little inner 'hoorah' at the thought. This is a Disneyland ride that needs some serious updating but for me personally - been there, done that, I'm good. read more

Located in Tomorrowland in Disneyland. It's a cool ride you enter into a submarine and the adventure begins it starts of like you're in a submarine then about halfway through the adventure they do a Nemo skit which is ok it's definitely fun for the kids. The downside for me is getting into the sub it's very narrow and seats are very close to each other you don't have elbow room. So if you are claustrophobic this ride could be a problem for you cause it's very tight space inside the sub. Overall I do prefer the original sun ride it was cheesy but that is what made the ride fun. read more

Oh my. Having rode a submarine before, I found this submarine ride unamusing. If you're a kid, who has ridden a submarine before, or has gone diving and has seen real sea life, you may be disappointed in the Finding Nemo Submarine Adventure ride. The line moved pretty quickly and we were at the front of the line before the estimated 45-minute wait. There are two rows of seats, each facing the outside of the submarine. The sub takes you around a manmade sea world with fake fishes, seaweed, jellyfish, and so forth. There's narration, sound effects, and lighting effects, but like I said, unamusing if you know what real sea life looks like. Oh well, at least my 2-year-old enjoyed the ride. That's all that mattered! read more

If you have any types of claustrophobia than this ride isn't for you. You go into this submarine that has very steep steps that are scary going down. You go straight back where you sit and wait for the ride to get full with people. You sit super close to people and have a small hole that you look out where you go through the finding Nemo movie. It was clammy inside the submarine where the glass was getting fogged up even without you close to the glass. They don't wipe after each ride so it's like sitting in germs because people are all up in the window to look out and no thank you not for me. Once the ride ends which goes for awhile they don't open the hatch to let you out immediately it's like your sitting there for an extra 5-7 minutes. All I can think of is zombie apocalypse brakes out and we are stuck in this hole and we aren't getting out. Lol read more

I couldn't get over how detailed and fun this ride is. It's a little cramped inside but even with claustrophobia I had a great time gazing out the portholes. Maybe someday they will update it to steampunk, turn it back into 20,000 leagues under the sea, or add mermaids like back in the day! read more

Once upon a time, as the Voyage into Liquid Space (and the legendary 20,000 Leagues version at WDW), this ride would have warranted six stars, but unfortunately, Disney's ill-informed idea of rebranding some of its best ideas to make them more marketable to the short attention spans of today's masses almost makes me want to cry. The subs are fantastic, the ride mechanics are still super clever, and there are even enough heartbreakingly modified remnants of the original ride storyline to make it worth riding.... but I can't help but feel cheated by riding by underwater cartoons just because people can't be entertained for entertainment's sake without some kind of promotional character attached to it. read more

I don't recommend this ride if you are claustrophobic , it's not really fun but it is a cool experience and definitely amazing for little kids ! Some kids may get scared but it's very safe and amazing! read more

You have to step down into this "submarine" where it is super humid and musty smelling. Then you have to get your face close to the port hole to view the underwater features. It was uncomfortable because of the smell. Only get in this attraction if you have very young children who cannot participate in better rides at Disney. The seat bottoms rise when you stand up to allow space for people to walk through. Towards the end of the ride a man sat up and then immediately and abruptly tried sitting down which caused his back to hit the partially raised seat. He immediately had severe swelling and was in a lot of pain. Just a heads up--don't do that. read more

Cute submarine ride that is good for kids of all ages. My daughter enjoyed peeking out the window and had the best view when sitting on my lap rather than sitting by herself.

The infrastructure of the old submarine ride in Tomorrowland really did fit perfectly for a revamp with the characters of Finding Nemo. Yes, the wait time can be a bit long due to the inefficient loading and unloading of the submarines - there's not really a way to get around that though. Still, if the waits not too long, it's a great ride for small kids. Of course the submarines don't actually submerge or change depth but instead it's an illusion done with the audio track, lights and Bubbles! You start off seeing more traditional animatronic elements in the beginning portion of the ride that is well lit and then as you "dive" into deeper waters there are animated screens that show the cast of Finding Nemo in their adventures it makes it much more whimsical and fun than just the animatronic fare of the Submarine ride of my childhood. My little 3 year old niece absolutely loved it - looking through the portholes and imagining she was really on a submarine. Quite possible the highlight of her first Disneyland experience! read more

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage - Bubbles! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

The Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is a unique, creative, and fun adventure for children of all ages, but it's especially good for younger children. Loading and unloading the submarines can be a slow process, so unfortunately the line doesn't move very quickly. Once inside your submarine, the underwater voyage is pretty fun. Our four year old loved it and was excited to see the characters from Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. For adults seeing out of the low porthole windows can be difficult because they are so low. You have to stoop down, almost uncomfortably, to see outside. Watch where you sit, sometimes the submarines leak and you can get unexpectedly wet! read more

I read the reviews, and mostly, they didn't recommend this ride. I kind of concur! BUT, I just had to take this voyage because they had revamped it and I hadn't been on it in many years. The Submarine holds a lot of people, but it still takes a while to whittle down the line to where it is your turn to board. You can listen to the seagulls out on the buoy yelling "Mine" every so often. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=s_FAHFKUl4YqNofYZC1NYg&start=300&select=6e_R3mIa-MJ9WkDwqSN8KQ There is a super narrow spiral staircase to enter into the sub. After waiting forever in the line, it was a welcome relief to finally sit down! You will more than likely be sitting hip to hip with the person on the seat next to you because the seats are on the small side. It is a very tight space! If you don't like the confinement of anything similar to an elevator, you won't like this ride... it will be torturous. I don't mind. Once they closed the hatch, all I could think of was what a germ pot this could be! I sure hope nobody was sick! The ride is cheesy for adults, but I think it is cool for the children. First off, the portholes (windows) have scratches on them making it difficult to see out.or take pictures. Also, since the subs don't really go under the water level, you can see the top right there, lessening the realistic effect of the ride. Both sides of the submarine view the exact same presentation. I watched Nemo and his friends swimming around. I was disappointed they recorded a different voice for Dory... I loved Ellen as Dory. If you take this as just entertainment having to do with Nemo, and not precisely the movie, it is alright. I have now taken this voyage as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with Captain Nemo and now as Finding Nemo. I think I'm good until they revamp it again and turn it into another story-line! read more

Located in Tomorrowland is another of Disneyland's popular attractions, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. On this ride guests are able to board one of eight submarine shaped boats that sail on a track in a man-made lagoon following the storyline from the Pixar-Disney animated film, "Finding Nemo". Cute ride if you're a Nemo fan, but there seems to always be a lengthy line with an average wait of 45-minutes for it, so be prepared to wait. It kind of makes you wonder why Disney never offers a fast pass for such a popular ride. This past weekend my daughter wanted to go on this ride, so we endured the forty minute wait for it. When we finally got to the front of the line, we were denied the first submarine saying it was too hot for us to board, so it was sent on it's way around the track empty. The next one we were able to get on seemed just as hot and quite muggy, so I'm guessing that there's no air conditioning on this ride. If so, then it's definitely not your way to go during those hot summer months. read more

Trust me, I've read the reviews before I got on this ride. I enjoyed this ride a lot more when I was a kid and when it also wasn't Finding Nemo. Seeing that Disney has a lot of money, they poorly made this one. Sure, the underwater views are great, but that submarine is really stuffed and has a funky smell with no a/c. The seats are so tightly arranged and the peep holes are very low, small, and dirty as well. The only reason we went on this ride is because it had started raining and was a 5 minute wait. I would definitely NOT recommend this ride unless you have a lil one with you. read more

Although this ride tends to be controversial, I forgot how much fun this ride is. If you get claustrophobic I don't recommend that you go on this ride, but it's super cool! It's super colorful since the remodel, and the storytelling of this ride is awesome. It tells the whole story and you really feel like you're apart of their story. Also, for the shortest wait on this ride, you can go on it during the fireworks, or before they are closing! read more
