The Seas with Nemo & Friends Returning to Full-Day Hours at EPCOT Starting May 27
Good news, ocean explorers! Beginning May 27, 2025, The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion at EPCOT will once again operate on full-day hours, aligning with the rest of the park’s schedule. After several months of closing early at 7:00 PM, the pavilion is finally swimming back into the evening lineup—just in time for Memorial Day weekend.
Back in the (Big Blue) Flow
Starting May 27, guests can enjoy both the Nemo-themed attraction and the multi-level aquarium right up until EPCOT’s standard closing time, which is typically 9:00 PM. This updated schedule is already reflected on Disney’s official park calendar.
Over the past few months, evening access to The Seas pavilion had been limited, with many guests missing out on nighttime visits to the tranquil aquariums and ocean exhibits. While Disney hasn’t officially commented on the early closures, they were likely tied to ongoing construction projects and a temporary closure of the manatee exhibit.

Meet the Manatees (Again!)
One of the most exciting updates within the pavilion is the reopening of the manatee habitat, which now features newly rescued manatees. Disney is working in collaboration with the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support short-term rehab efforts for these gentle giants.
So whether you’re riding along with Mr. Ray and the gang, watching dolphins dart through the water, or saying “hi” to a couple of chunky sea cows, The Seas pavilion is once again a perfect spot to relax, explore, and enjoy the wonders of the ocean—day and night.
