Walt Disney World Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club previews are now underway at EPCOT's Journey of Water Inspired by Moana ahead of the October 16 official opening.
Unlike other recent passholder previews, guests do not have to register for a preview window but do require an EPCOT park pass reservation.
Disney is using the large walkway alongside Spaceship Earth as a check-in and queue area, with guests required to scan admission media to verify passholder status.
According to managers in the area, passholders can experience Journey of Water Inspired by Moana multiple times a day if the standby line is available.
A Virtual Queue opened around 9:15am to provide guests with a return time. You can access it in "My Disney Experience" in the Virtual Queues tab. Managers in the area say it is unlikely that the standby line will reopen, and it will remain a Virtual Queue only for today at least. Guests can only use the Virtual Queue once per day, and guests must be inside the park to join.
Passholder previews will take place at EPCOT from park open to park close on the following dates:
- September 24 to September 29, 2023
- October 1 to October 4, 2023
To participate in this preview experience, Passholders must have a theme park reservation for EPCOT on the day of the preview. Note that:
- If your theme park reservation is for a different theme park (and not for EPCOT), then you will not be eligible to participate in a preview that day.
- If you enter EPCOT without a theme park reservation after 2:00 PM, then you will not be eligible to participate in a preview that day.
