It’s here! It’s finally here!

Nemo and Marlin
After the 2020 park closure, Animal Kingdom‘s Finding Nemo musical show did not reopen, and it was announced that a reimagined version of the show would be taking its place. We’ve followed along with the show’s journey from when details were first announced to getting a first look at the show, and now, the day has come for the show to finally open!
Well, it’s actually opening a little earlier than expected! After we attended a media preview of the reimagined show this morning, the show officially soft opened to the public! You can find today’s showtimes in the My Disney Experience app or on signs outside the theater. If you’re in the park today, you can see the show at 12:30PM, 2:30PM, 3:30PM, and 4:30PM!

Showtimes for Soft Opening
Times are listed online for the show’s official opening date, June 13th, and onward. You can catch Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…And Beyond opens today in Animal Kingdom with showtimes at 10:30AM, 11:30AM, 12:30PM, 2:30PM, 3:30PM, and 4:30PM each day.
As a reminder, this is a reimagined version of the previous Finding Nemo musical show, so be ready to see some changes to the set and experience the story from a new point of view! There is a new pre-show announcement similar to the announcements at the Marine Life Institute in Finding Dory.
New announcements and fun facts added before the show starts! 🦈

On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of ‘Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond’.
