Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage reopens today in Disneyland
After being closed for what felt like forever, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage has reopened in Disneyland! The attraction underwent a yearlong refurbishment and is finally welcoming guests back on board.

Walt Disney Imagineers added 12,000 linear feet of faux seaweed to the attraction. It took six months to get enough aquarium-grade seaweed. “It’s a lot of seaweed,” Walt Disney Imagineering Art Director Michael Dobrzycki said. “It’s like going to the store and saying, ‘We want all the seaweed that is currently existing in the world.’ It’s not even a joke. It’s pretty much what we had to do. It’s like, ‘Who makes seaweed and can we get the factories rolling?’”
Nearly 500 Disneyland workers and contractors were required for the refurbishment. The lagoon had to be drained, every surface power washed, the track sandblasted, and a host of technical improvements were done.

“Climb down into a yellow research submarine operated by the Nautical Exploration and Marine Observation Institute (N.E.M.O.).
Peek through the portholes as you sail past scuba divers and artifacts of an ancient civilization scattered along the seafloor.
Some familiar fins soon swim into view: it’s Nemo and his turtle pal, Squirt, with Marlin and Dory hot on their trail. During your underwater adventure, you’ll encounter other friends from the movie, including Bruce the Shark, Mr. Ray, Gill, Bubbles, Pearl, Peach, Crush and more—and thanks to special “sonar hydrophones,” you can hear what everyone’s saying!”
