Anyone working TLand let us know how Nemo opening went

Any CM's working at or Near Nemo (or the hugh line that formed) let us know how things went today.

They said, by 4:00, the line was about 6 hours long.

I am so glad I went to the CM Previews!

Same here. I waited in line for about 20 minutes tops during the preview. I went to the park today and avoided Tomorrowland like the plague. I did stop by to see the line, but I got scared. Very scared.

Was the line long like they predicted, reaching all the way to It's A Small World.

For those who do not want to stand in line.


This is a clip of people getting of the submarine taken by a major SG. Best to turn of the sound as he does get on one's nerves. It took 90 seconds to unload and that much to load. Clearly at least 5 minutes to park the submarine, unload, load and unpark the submarine.

There were some interesting SGTs there and I am searching and laughing.

Los Angeles Times says 5 hours, I would not doubt that but it is interesting that there is not much online about the lines, yet.

I dropped by the other boards to read what everyones saying. I'm more interested in the Cast Member point of view. I'm hoping if I head right to Nemo first thing in the morning June 24th I wont have to wait to long for a ride. Six hours for a ride, no way, an hour I might do.

[font=Palatino Linotype]the subs always took a long time to load and unload...the line was one of the slowest moving in lines in the park

whether i would actually wait 6 hrs to get on this attraction is doubtful though we were in line for it yesterday by 8:30am and were told we were probably an hour's wait once the attraction opened to the peons (i mean the general public ;) ..believe me, i feel so lucky to have had the good fortune to have had the chance to have gotten on it before the opening day and so quickly too...probably in less than 10 min.)...it turned out once the line really began to move we were on by 12:30, so it wasn't so bad...we took turns standing in line and did the "duck under the rope" thing, but people were pretty civil and in a good mood all around us (bubbles help :) )...and we were in a place where we could see the monorail take off to make the "opening" and could see the fireworks go off and the monorail come back (sometimes it's the small things in life :D: )

i never did get back by the queue after we'd been on the ride...too afraid...
does anyone know how far back the line actually did go? when we were leaving around midnight we'd heard it got to be a 6 hr. wait

Try getting up earlier. The MK opening show has had pyro in it for years now.
