UPDATE 12pm Sep 8, 2023 - Since the original article was published, more capacity has been added and EPCOT reservations are currently available.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

The opening day of Annual Passholder previews for EPCOT's Journey of Water Inspired by Moana at Walt Disney World is now at capacity.

EPCOT is now at capacity for Annual Passholders on September 24

Disney announced yesterday that Annual Passholder previews for EPCOT's newest attraction will begin on September 24, 2023. Surprisingly, Disney does not require guests to make any specific reservations for the preview beyond having an EPCOT park pass reservation for the day. Disney has also said that only a standby line will be available, with no virtual queue.

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

Currently, all other Annual Passholder preview dates remain available. Annual Passholders may also be able to make a reservation for September 24 if they are staying at a Walt Disney World hotel.

Journey of Water Inspired by Moana overview

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.

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???

Almost 5 years.

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.
