The Seas with Nemo and Friends Pavilion is based on underwater exploration and ocean conservation that has several attractions that are centered around Disney•Pixar’s Finding Nemo. It is home to one of the largest man-made underwater environments in the world, holding 5.7 million gallons of water. A spectacular development combining the genius of Disney Imagineering and some of world’s oceanographic experts, this aquarium features over 200 species of sea life including sea turtles, sharks, giant rays and dolphin as well multi-colored tropical fish.

Upon entering the pavilion, guests are giving the option of experiencing The Seas with Nemo and Friends Attraction or going directly into the SeaBase exhibit area.  Choosing the attraction takes guests under the sea as they join Mr. Ray for a field trip aboard “Clam-Mobiles” only to find out that Nemo has wandered off.  

Set off on an adventure with Dory, Bruce, Marlin, Squirt and Crush to find the missing clownfish as you swim through ultraviolet jellyfish and dodge underwater mines and Bruce as he lurks in the hull of a sunken ship, and take a whirl on the EAR with Crush and Squirt. The ride ends in the center of the SeaBase where you will find Turtle Talk with Crush, Bruce’s Sub-House and the magnificent salt water aquarium that is 200 feet in diameter.

You will want to give yourself a lot of time to spend in The Seas with Nemo and Friends Pavilion since there is so much to see and learn.  If you rush through this pavilion, you will miss the total undersea experience.  The outside garden area of the pavilion also offers a great place for photo ops with the sculptures of Nemo and his friends.
