My hubby and I went on our honeymoon to DL and were there the week Nemo opened. We got lucky, and rode it twice on Friday, which was the day before it officially opened. We waited an hour in line both times.
On Saturday, when it opened the line was five hours long. People were getting in line past It's a Small World.
Nemo is a cute ride. It's got some really nice touches, but my hubby was not that impressed with some of the effects in the cave. (We're theme park buffs, so he's a tough audience!) I'd probably wait in hour for it, but i wouldn't consider waiting longer than that.
Fun fact: right after the last line of the ride, after they say "We better surface before we start seeing mermaids or sea serpants," you can actually see a mermaid and a sea serpant on either side of the boat. They're made out of the rocks, so you have to look carefully.
But I would have to say my favorite attraction is definitely the Jungle Cruise, more for sentimental reasons as much as anything else. Hubby and I are both former WDW Jungle Cruise skippers, as are some of our closest friends. Skippers joke that you can take a skipper out of the Jungle but you can't take the Jungle out of the skipper. It's true! I'll be able to recite that speil when I'm 80!
My second favorite would be the Haunted Mansion, which I've also worked. Has anyone been to WDW since it was refurbished in September? It looks fantastic now, and they've changed a few show scenes.
My favorite to work as a cast member was definitely the Riverboat, though. It's really laid back (lots of talking to guests) and I got to play around with a real steam engine.
