Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana

Ever since the announcement of EPCOT’s newest attraction, we have been so excited to check out Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. This immersive exploration trail in the heart of EPCOT’s World Nature neighborhood, the area of the park dedicated to “understanding and preserving the beauty, awe, and balance of the natural world”, has been in the works for quite some time!

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 and experience the “playfulness of water” for themselves! This sounds like an excellent way to spend a hot afternoon at EPCOT!

Get ready to experience the Journey of Water in ways you never have before! Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is slated to open on in late 2023!

Journey of Water opens in later 2023.

Since the beginnings of the demolition of Innoventions spaces and refurbishment of various aspects of the previously named “Future World” section of EPCOT, we have been plagued with construction walls that wrap around this section of the park. Many of these walls are in place because of the construction on this immersive attraction. Now, we finally have an end date for some of these construction walls and navigation headaches!

Disney can't build a Marvel park East of the Mississippi. Those rights belong to Universal in a deal with Marvel long before Marvel was sold to Disney. The loophole is that any Marvel "families" not already in use by Universal is okay for Disney to use. That's how Guardians of The Galaxy was able to be used in the new EPCOT ride. But properties like Hulk, Spiderman, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom, are staying with Universal in Orlando.

“Late 2023” is not a date… it’s more of a timeframe. Kind of misleading! Still looking forward to this attraction, though!

They need to build a new park to reduce crowds! With everyone building hotels condos timeshares etc there is a need for more parks! Marvel based park?
