Journey of Water is a walkthrough Epcot attraction inspired by the animated film, Moana.[1] It was originally set to open in 2021 as a part of Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary celebration. However, the attraction was delayed to October 16, 2023, as part of the Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration, since the opening was postponed indefinitely following the closure of the park due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary

Journey of Water is a garden featuring interactive fountains and other water features leading from the current Innoventions plaza (replacing much of Innoventions West) down to The Seas Pavilion. Anchored by a massive topiary of Te Fiti, Journey of Water serves as whimsical exploration of the water cycle and how it sustains our world.[citation needed] The walkthrough attraction had two sets of previews, from July 25 to August 19, 2023,[2] and from September 1st to 22nd, exclusively for Walt Disney World employees.[3] The attraction is set to have annual passholder previews on September 24 to 29 and October 1 to 4,[4] before it officially opens on October 16, 2023.[5]
