The Seas with Nemo and Friends at Epcot - A One-of-a-Kind Attraction

A new ride called The Seas with Nemo and Friends opened at Walt Disney World’s Living Seas pavilion in Epcot a few months ago.  My triplets love the “Finding Nemo” movie, so I expected this ride to be a big hit with them.  I was right.
