FinDING NEMO SUBMARINE VOYAGE Opening June 11, 2007

...due to the limited capacity of the ride..

Oh no...so I assume this means there will also be no FP for this ride and LOOOOOONG lines, huh?

Great...looks like it may be awhile before I get to experience this attraction (a 2 year old and 1 year old are NOT known for their patience in line).

You got it. There are not going to be Fast Passes on Nemo. LONG lines in the hot summer sun are a definite!

And i'm assuming that if there are AP previews, they are probably for Premium passholders right?
I always get the short end of the stick.

[Woohoo]

June 11th! That is so cool! That is exactly the time I will be there.

I'm not a Finding Nemo fan myself, but to have something in that lagoon now, coupled with the monorail is pretty exciting!

This also sounds like it will be pretty cool for a slow ride.

[Woohoo]

This Finding Nemo ride is one that I fear that I will not ride this June. Check out this article about the enormous crowds it will probably draw in.

We got lucky enough to be there for a soft opening on Expedition Everest 2 months before they opened it -- is it too much to pray that next week we will get to have a soft opening on Nemo??

Probably

I have never seen an AP preview or event in the park that was limited only to Premium passholders. Even the AP pins do not differentiate. Only thing I have seen is the food & merchandinse discounts, which as a Disney Credit Card holder I get also for the merchandise. Now the meals I think is a different story. More discounts there.

[Woohoo]

Since my link got removed (b/c I'm a troublemaker ) I'll try to give you the key points.

They are in a rush to get this open by June 11th, so it seems like there will only be two days for cast member previews and only two days for AP previews, and maybe a day or two for a general soft opening before the 11th. With 650,000 AP-holders and a capacity of 1,000 riders/hour, this will be a nightmare for a while! (I guess not all the million dreams are happy, lol). But I guess the people will be happy that do get to ride it.

Another thing to consider though is, most LA school kids (not college) are still in school until end of that week. So locals wouldn't be off yet. My thought is the passholder days would be on June 7th & 8th, Cast Members prior to that. And the public soft opening on Sat & Sun (9th & 10th). Pirates I believe officially opened on a Monday also, soft opening on Sunday after the premiere on Saturday.

Normally the parks aren't open late during the week until after the Grad Nights are done (on Thurs' & Fri's), which should be around June 15th.

Also add to all this Pirate Island opening about the time of the movie.

But I still believe they will have that sign up again. Not all passholders got in for the AP Tower of Terror. Course they could for go the AP days, Pirates re-open and Monsters Inc didn't have a AP days.

[Woohoo]

Well, I guess that will help me for going the week before, but this will probably be a really busy ride all summer. Scratch that; it will probably be very busy for much longer than that if the ride is as good as we hope.
