In this edition of Spotlight on, I will discuss Nemo and his friends introduction to the Living Seas at Epcot.

Anything that gets kids to learn. If we need to introduce characters into Epcot to get kids coming back, then so be it. For years and years at Epcot, you would never see any of the other Disney Characters at Epcot. The Immagineers ment Epcot to be different. Thus, no characters.

Well times have changed and so have the minds and thoughts at the House of Mouse. Because now the characters are everywhere. And Nemo invading into the Living Seas, is in my opinion, a welcome change.

Finding Nemo is my second favorite Pixar movie behind Toy Story. Nemo is a great character, and so are his buddies. Everyone from Marlin, Dory, Mr. Ray, Bruce, and the Tank Gang can and will get kids interested in the life we rarely get to see under the waves.

The cue to this attraction is amazing. Take a few moments to experience what they are getting across here. As you enter the building you are transported to a windy, dune beach in Australia. You wind in and out getting closer to the waves. Before you know it your in the water and then under it. You pass the rusty remains of out world to experience life under the sea. Ever see a boat from underneath it?

I will not try and spoils the ride for you here. Just immerce yourself in it, take it all in. Ride it twice or even three times just to see everything. Then when you have had your fill, go say hi to Crush, he will say hi back.

So the next time your at Epcot, climb abaord a Clam Mobile and have a little fun under the Sea (sorry Sabastian). You will not be disapointed.


Epcot is a truly magical place for the whole family.
