This month, let’s head to Disneyland for my take on Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, which is a makeover of the park’s very first E-Ticket attraction. Hang on. You’re not a paid subscriber you say?

When the original Submarine Voyage, a classic ride that was one of Disneyland’s signature attractions, closed in 1998, it left a literal and figurative void at the park. It took an enormously popular lost clownfish for Disney to find the inspiration and budget to bring the subs back in 2007. (I trace its sad decommissioning and triumphant return in my article, “His Submarine Voyage to find Nemo.”) With its Finding Nemo overlay, the ride appeals to today's Pixar-lated visitors as well as nostalgia-fueled fogies like me who fondly recall the subs of yesteryear.
