Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage: A Disneyland Accessibility Guide Transcript
The Undersea Adventure Begins
Step aboard the vibrant yellow research submarine operated by the Nautical Exploration and Marine Observation Institute—N.E.M.O. As you descend beneath the surface, you’ll find yourself immersed in the breathtaking world of Finding Nemo. From scuba divers to ancient artifacts, each porthole offers a unique glimpse into this vibrant undersea realm.
Meeting Friendly Fins
Just around the corner, you’ll encounter familiar friends from the beloved film—Nemo, Squirt, Marlin, Dory, and even Bruce the Shark! Thanks to special “sonar hydrophones,” you’ll hear their chatter as they embark on their daring adventure.
Diverse Views
Did you know that where you sit in the submarine determines your view? Keep your eyes peeled, as you might spot Nemo when others can’t! It’s all part of the thrill. And don’t worry—no one misses out on the action.
Disneyland History
Now, let’s take a quick journey back in time. The Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is a reimagined version of the original Submarine Voyage, which debuted in 1959. This nostalgic attraction was inspired by the USS Nautilus and brought the wonders of the deep sea to Disneyland visitors for nearly four decades.
Accessibility Options
Now, let’s talk about accessibility. Disneyland is committed to ensuring that everyone can enjoy their experiences to the fullest. Here’s what you need to know before embarking on this undersea adventure.
Ambulatory Requirement
To ride the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, guests must be ambulatory—able to walk on their own or with the assistance of their party.
Wheelchair Access
Don’t worry if you’re using a wheelchair or Electric Conveyance Vehicle (ECV). You can still join the fun! If you’re comfortable transferring to a regular seat, you can enter through the standard queue. But if that’s not an option, you can remain in your wheelchair or ECV and use the accessible experience.
Alternative Experience
Here’s a fantastic alternative for those who can’t navigate the narrow steps. Head to the Observation Outpost at the dock’s end. Inside, you’ll find the “SubCam” experience—a live-feed video version of the voyage. It’s roomy, air-conditioned, and accessible to wheelchairs, ECVs, and rollators. Perfect for those with disabilities or anyone looking for a more open and relaxed experience.
