The pavilion's exterior was repainted from the blue Nemo-era scheme back toward the original 1986 'Living Seas' tan/beige colorway, the entrance mural was refreshed (some Finding Nemo creatures removed), and the entrance seagull animatronics were removed during the work and reinstalled by November 2023.
The Living Seas was reimagined and rededicated as The Seas with Nemo & Friends, adding a Finding Nemo dark ride on clamshell 'Clamobile' vehicles and 'living characters' projection that composites the animated cast into the real aquarium tank.
The original Seacabs ride-through of the 5.7-million-gallon aquarium was retired and walled off amid post-9/11 attendance declines; the pavilion continued as the Sea Base Alpha walkthrough until the Nemo overlay.
The Living Seas pavilion opened at EPCOT, anchored by a 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium, with guests descending via 'Hydrolator' elevators and touring the tank aboard the 'Seacabs' ride to the Sea Base Alpha research-base walkthrough.
