Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT Now Closing 2 Hours Early Daily

The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT Now Closing Early

Guests visiting EPCOT may notice a significant change in the operating hours for The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion. Starting immediately, the pavilion will now close at 7 PM daily, which is two hours earlier than its typical operating hours.

This adjustment is currently reflected in Disney’s official park hours calendar, which extends through mid-March 2025. However, Disney has not provided an official explanation for the change. Speculation suggests it could be a seasonal adjustment due to lower evening crowds or to accommodate ongoing work at the pavilion. Regardless, it’s a shift worth noting for guests planning their evening activities at the park.

A Journey Under the Sea

For those unfamiliar, The Seas with Nemo & Friends is located in World Nature at EPCOT and offers a gentle, immersive ride based on Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo. Guests board a “clamobile” and travel through vibrant coral reefs, dodge jellyfish and anglerfish, and catch a ride on the East Australian Current with Crush and Squirt—all in search of Nemo.

Beyond the ride, the pavilion features a massive 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium, home to a variety of marine life, including clownfish, sharks, and rays. Guests can also enjoy hands-on activities that teach about marine biology and ocean conservation, making it a perfect stop for families with young explorers.

Complimentary Scavenger Hunt

Don’t miss the complimentary scavenger hunt, where visitors can help Dory find her friends by solving clues and collecting stickers. This self-guided adventure adds an extra layer of fun and learning to your visit.

Plan Ahead

With the earlier closing time, visitors should plan to experience The Seas with Nemo & Friends earlier in the day. Whether it’s riding the “clamobiles,” marveling at the aquatic life, or joining Dory on her scavenger hunt, there’s still plenty of magic waiting beneath the waves—just make sure to dive in before 7 PM!
