Captain Nemo Submarine

Captain Nemo 's adventures under the seven seas has always fascinated me: it has always embodied a sense of adventure, mystery, unknown and exploration together with a strong trust in a better future: in a few words, Walt's vision of the future.

I guess you can now understand why I always loved so much Disneyland Paris' Discoveryland and was literally blown away by Tokyo DisneySEA's Mysterious Island. Last time I visited the French park I took some pictures of the interior of Nemo's Submarine.

Before entering the submarine, you follow a narrow path built under the earth: very mysterious and it really helps in building the right expectation (remember my past post?)
Then you enter the submarine itself and the colors, sounds and props capture your mind: you're under the sea.

Where's Captain Nemo? Maybe he just left the room with that staircase.

What's waiting in the nex room?

Beautiful pics here. I am in agreement with you that the queue for the ride really sets the mood and can be a fun experience. Lots of people are missing out on the beauty and hard work that went into this stuff. SLOW DOWN PEOPLE!!! Enjoy the ride. Thanks for this great blog!
