Since Walt Disney World does not close for select seasons, refurbishments and maintenance occur during operating hours. Some attractions close for lengthy refurbishments. You can check out the growing list of refurbishment closures HERE.

At other times, refurbishments may take place while the attraction remains open. Guests may notice some attraction elements blocked and operating hours may be affected.

Disney Parks reserves the right to change operational hours as needed and without notice. Now, Disney has an entire EPCOT pavilion closing two hours earlier than the park.

Seas with Nemo & Friends Hours

In January of this year, the Seas with Nemo & Friends began to close at 7:00 pm each evening. This early closure affected the Seas with Nemo & Friends attraction, Turtle Talk with Crush, Bruce’s Shark World, and the SeaBase Aquarium.

This also limited time for guests to complete the fun Finding Dory’s Friends Fintastic Scavenger Hunt at this pavilion. Disney did not share the reason for this early closure, but it appeared that it may have been due to refurbishment at this space.

The good news is that normal operatnig hours for this space will return on May 27, 2025. At that time, the Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion will close at 9:00 pm along with the rest of EPCOT.

Plan Ahead

The Walt Disney World calendar shows that through May 26, 2025, the pavilion will continue to close at 7:00 pm every day (with EPCOT closing at 9:00 pm).

Disney can still adjust operating hours to normal without notice, but for now, if you hope to dive down into Nemo’s “Big Blue World,” you will need to plan to visit this pavilion before 7:00 pm. Be sure to check your My Disney Experience app for current operational hours.
