Latest update for EPCOT’s Journey of Water Inspired by Moana happening now

EPCOT’s Moana water feature is getting closer to opening! And now, we’re excited to share the latest update happening now.

Journey of Water

Anyone who has been to EPCOT recently has probably noticed there is a significant amount of construction going on behind the walls at EPCOT.

Part of EPCOT’s reimagining includes a Moana-themed walk-through attraction called Journey of Water. This immersive exploration trail will be in the heart of EPCOT’s World Nature neighborhood.

It will serve as a huge feature in this area of the park dedicated to “understanding and preserving the beauty, awe, and balance of the natural world.”

More Details

The attraction will walk guests through the water cycle, specifically focusing on how water cycles from our skies to our oceans and back continuously. Along the way, guests will interact with story elements from Disney’s hit film Moana. They will experience the “playfulness of water” for themselves! This sounds like an excellent way to spend a hot afternoon at EPCOT!

A few months ago, Disney shared that this interactive trail will open in the fall of 2023. You can catch a sneak peek of this coming attraction HERE. Take a look HERE at a video of water flowing through this new area.

Cool Update

Disney is testing and preparing for the next attraction to welcome guests later this Fall. At World Nature in EPCOT, Disney’s Imagineers have begun to teach water how to play in Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana.

Guests of all ages will engage with water in a variety of ways. In addition, guests will learn about water’s amazing “journey” around our natural world, including ways to better conserve our natural resources and protect water.
