Guests in Submarine queue can stay after closing



Disneyland Adds Magical '8th Day' to the Week (http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/06-06-2007/0004603024&EDATE=)
PR Newswire

In the spirit of Walt Disney's renowned ability to create magic, the Disneyland Resort is sprinkling some pixie dust on the calendar and virtually creating an "8th Day" in its operating week in anticipation of high demand for the new Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage attraction, which resurfaces June 11 in the Tomorrowland Lagoon. The subs return as part of the ongoing Year of a Million Dreams celebration at the Disneyland Resort.

Starting June 11, the day the subs resurface, guests will be allowed to join the queue until official park closing and the subs will continue their voyages to find Nemo for up to 2 1/2 hours after park closing.

"We're very excited to bring back the classic subs attraction, which we know will appeal to guests of all ages," said Ed Grier, President, Disneyland Resort. "In order to meet what we believe will be very high demand, we're virtually adding an '8th day' to the week."

The magic continues with a focus on Disney-style service. While guests are anticipating their underwater adventure, they'll be invited to "Find Nemo" while voyaging through the queue. Armed with a special Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage activity guide, they will search out "Hidden Nemos" along the way and play other Nemo-related games.

Great to know! Though the ride is mostly the same both day and night, the lagoon is just so beautiful at night that I'd love to ride it at both times of the day.

I wonder if they'll run the Monorail some extra hours, if we'll be stuck walking back to the hotel.

Applause, Applause! The Smartest Thing I've Heard

[MVP]

lol yeah cm can get mad about this i know they did with the whole night of the july 16 2005 thing, it was the night before the 50th B-day of DL.

[Cali Coaster]

Wow. This is just so great to hear! So, if I get this straight, the FNSV will be open longer than Main Street? Or, will Main Street's hours extend to 2:30am as well?

[Alex_Toto_Disneyland]

i think that it should be open, or maybe you exit disneyland by a backstage door or something

[MVP]

well i hope it is like this during the week of july 17th because i will be there and it would be an awesome way to ride the ride!

[Where'sYourLaughinPlace?]

How is this any different than the other rides in the park? As long as you are in line by closing, they will let you get on the ride......(at least in my experiences they always have.

[Alex_Toto_Disneyland]

^ The only difference is that the lines would be on Main Street @ 12:00AM :tongue:

[HiddenMickey]

Hong Kong Disney's Main Street :p

[ssoccerprncss88]

thats interesting!! but great to know.. i can only imagine how thats going to be.. haha

[Almandot]

Man it'll be like jumping into the rocket rods ride before park closing

[Disneyknight467]

Dude I would be Hecka happy to be a CM for that night! Btw, does anyone know if its just that week only or for the entire Year of a Million dreams Celebration? I want this to happen in August when I go so please answer back!

[Alex_Toto_Disneyland]

The Rest Of Your Life Will Happen !!! Lol

[Disneyknight467]

^lol, but seriously...

[MVP]

i called Disneyland today to see when it will end and they told me it will only be for tonight (june 11th 2007) only!

[fallenstar]

congratulations!!! hope to be there end of june and hopefully ride the new Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.

[Ezra]

i called Disneyland today to see when it will end and they told me it will only be for tonight (june 11th 2007) only!

The press release they submitted to PR Newswire says:During the summer months, on average, Disneyland Park operates 16 hours per day. With 2 1/2 additional hours of potential operation each night (17 1/2 hours total per week) for the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, Disneyland is offering guests more than an extra day each week to enjoy the attraction.Why would they say an extra day each week during the summer months? If it were really only for one day, why would they bother issuing a press release about it? I assume whoever you spoke with was mis-informed.

[HiddenMickey]

Yeah I'm pretty sure also that its all summer. I mean, either way, as long as you're in any line at closing time, you get to ride.

I'm currently also waiting on a response from DL about whether or not the Monorail will be running those extra hours, in case anyone's interested. I'll post when I hear back.

[MVP]

I was thinking the same thing but that is what the lady said that i talked to but who knows CM's dont know everything!
