Posted in Europe, France, Paris

And indeed my boys convince me to be back, again. After so many trips lost count to the Orlando property and 6x times in Disneyland Paris. A bit short on personnel , two dear women and a great men missing, but we were back along with our dog Rex , and my 3 boys !!! Disneyland is always magical once in it and with family even better! We came again , and it was a blast ! Text done with a combination of official Disney site and wikipedia, Therefore, let me tell you again on the  Discoveryland on Les Mystéres du Nautilus attraction !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I,

Continue your quest through Discoveryland and navigate your crew to Jules Verne’s Nautilus where wonders of the depths await you. Mysteries of the Nautilus is a guided tour 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Dive into the imagination of Jules Verne aboard Captain Nemo’s historic submarine. As you wander the corridors, you’re sure to discover some surprising seafaring secrets.

This scenic walk-through offers a tour of six rooms of the Nautilus submersible:

The Ballast Compartment: The main feature of this first room is the chest containing the treasure Nemo amassed over his voyages. The guitar owned by the character Ned Land in the film rests on the gold.

The Captain’s Cabin: This cabin, along with a bathroom, contains personal belongings of the captain, allowing visitors to discover his private life.

The Chart Room: As its name suggests, this room offers visitors a wide variety of nautical charts. One of them depicts the island of Vulcania, Nemo’s hideout in the film. You can also see stairs leading to the wheelhouse.

The diving chamber: This airlock, equipped with diving suits, allows the sailors to leave the Nautilus via a hatch in the center of the room that opens onto the seabed.

The grand salon: The central room of the Nautilus displays marine rarities as well as numerous works of art. The captain’s organ dominates the back of the room, and a mirror fixed to this instrument sometimes reveals Nemo’s reflection. Periodically, a porthole on the starboard side opens onto the ocean depths, allowing visitors to witness the giant squid attack, a memorable moment from the novel and the film. Since the attraction’s reopening in 2023, the squid has been replaced by other scenes where visitors can observe marine animals such as hammerhead sharks and humpback whales.

The engine room: In this last room, lever and piston engines drive the propeller, and the back wall is occupied by electrical equipment. The room is also filled with steam.

It opened on July 4, 1994, just before Space Mountain, and allows visitors to explore the interior of the submersible imagined by Jules Verne for his famous Captain Nemo. This attraction is inspired by the novel, but especially by its 1954 film adaptation produced by Walt Disney Pictures. All the sets have been recreated.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
