Went to the park this afternoon, stopped with a friend to watch people previewing the subs, and, after a friendly conversation with a CM, were escorted onto the attraction! Our ride was after dark, so I'll second everything Kevy said and add that the night time lighting in the lagoon is spectacular. At one point I turned to my friend and said, "I may burst into tears at any moment," the coral reef is that beautiful.
The dialogue is back and forth between a male skipper and a female navigator, some of the dialogue echoes the original narration. Of course now, when they say that with our sonar hydrophones we can hear the fish talk, we actually hear them talk. To each other. In English! This does lead to the odd situation of an on-board script that comments on some of what we're seeing, but doesn't interact with the script for the animated characters. I think this could be tightened up.
As with any dress rehearsal, some elements of the show weren't in their final form - no waterfalls for our trip, one scene was not lit, and a very interesting crab with no top shell - RoboCrab!
Still, what an unexpected treat, I made sure to give a guest compliment to the CM at City Hall.
The Commodore gives Disney Pixar Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage two toots! He gives the ungainly title of the attraction only 1/2 a toot.
