he Seas with Nemo & Friends

By Reece Smith

The Seas with Nemo & Friends is a ride in a clamobile down under the ocean to a trip to see all of your favorite characters from Finding Nemo. As you journey through the queue you’ll move downwards going under the ocean surface as you pass a lifeguard tower as well as several signs warning you of dangers ahead. Then you’ll enter a section where you can feel like you’re actually moving beneath the waves as you go deep into the ocean. I really enjoy the lighting inside where you can see the sunlight reflecting off the water's surface on the ground where you’re walking. 

Then as you head past a boat up above you you’ll see your clamobile that I mentioned earlier. The clamobile looks like a clam with a set of doors that open and close to allow you on and off the ride. Then you start your journey where Marlin is telling Nemo not to go far off as he doesn’t want to lose him again. However you can spot Nemo among other fish next to some coral as he swims away from Marlin. Then Mr. Ray and the explorers lose Nemo and he says not to worry as they'll most likely find him along the way. You can see Nemo avoiding being seen by Mr. Ray and the explorers. 

Then Marlin goes and finds Dory to ask her if she has seen Nemo and she asks questions about who Nemo is and where he is due to her short term memory loss. At the same time Marlin reminds her that she knows Nemo as they went on a big adventure together. Then they come across jellyfish and Dory wants to play I Spy and Marlin always answers jellyfish. Sadly they don’t bounce on the jellyfish as they did last time. 

Then they come to a dark part in the sea and Dory asks for a light as marlin is being chased by the angler fish that they encountered before. Now they arrive at Bruce’s ship where Bruce asks Nemo to show himself to get a little bite. Get it a little bite because Nemo is a small fish and Bruce is a Great White shark. Then they join Crush and Squirt on the EAC, or the East Australian Current, except it’s Nemo who joined them and not Marlin and Dory. Then they all get back together as Nemo is found again and they sing “In the Big Blue World” together as they celebrate being back together. 

The background behind though is an actual aquarium with actual fish which you can go and see after the ride which ends right after passing all of the windows. The aquarium that you can see after the ride is a 5.7 million gallon tank filled with saltwater as well as sharks, fish, rays, and even a sea turtle or two. Also if you want to grab a bite there is a restaurant nearby called the Coral Reef Restaurant however you want to get a reservation because it is quite popular, but you can also see into the aquarium from this restaurant as you grab a bite to eat. So next time you go to EPCOT head on over to The Seas with Nemo and Friends and help Marlin and Dory find Nemo again.
