The walkway alongside Journey of Water Inspired by Moana remains closed as work continues repairing a high-pressure leak.

Construction walls block each entrance to the walkway, and a large section of concrete has been removed for the repair. Journey of Water Inspired by Moana and the Moana meet and greet are operating as normal.

The leak beneath the concrete walkway began last week and could be heard by guests on the walkway. The pumps, filtration, and other utilities for Journey of Water are located across the walkway in an area near the restrooms by Spaceship Earth.

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.
