Disney has previously said that Journey of Water Inspired by Moana will officially open in the fall of 2023, and it now appears that previews will be underway this summer.

Although not yet announced, we can expect previews of Journey of Water Inspired by Moana for Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, D23 members, and Club 33.

In describing the walk-through experience, Walt Disney Imagineering says, "Guests of all ages will engage with water in a variety of ways as they learn about water’s amazing 'journey' around our natural world, including ways to better conserve our natural resources and protect water as it voyages throughout our natural world, connecting us all."

Excellent! Very happy to see it back up so quick, and that it's not going to be an "oh well.."

Disney fixed something. I thought that didn't happen.

Nice. Quick repair. Maybe just a late growing pain.

EXACTLY! and Moana would have looked better in DAK.... And maybe a splash Zone themed to an Oceanographic Institute actually on the same side of the monorail beam as the Living Seas would have been a better choice.... Something that matched the style of the front half of the park....

Keep kids entertained, something to cool off. However if that is the case how come Hollywood Studios doesn't offer one or Animal Kingdom. If the Dino playground is going away for good then that's removing something for the kids. Hollywood Studios could use something water it's hot there.

I still don’t see how it was a good idea to put a Moana water feature in the middle of Epcot. What were they thinking???

Perhaps this is just Epcot crying out I don't want this transformation that none of us asked aside minor enhancements or upgrades like Creation Shop and Connections made well better for Epcot how it was.

Did I ever suggest that? I simply stated that these things should not be happening within months of opening such things. Especially when you’ve made the consumer wait so long and had the park under walls for half a decade. It’s just bad show.

Listen I get the complaints but I will never attack Disney for fixing or repairing their mistakes. It’s unfortunate that things are already breaking in a newly constructed area. Maybe they need better oversight on these projects or a different contractor.

They shouldn't break this fast. It's embarassing. And we're not talking about complicated AA's. We're talking about lights and a water feature. And those lights failed after one night.
