Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a new permit for set installation at Journey of Water Inspired by Moana.
The permit carries the vague description of "Install Sets" and was signed July 25 2022, valid for a year. (Thanks to @danlb_2000 on the WDWMAGIC Forums for locating the permit)
The contractor named in the permit is NY based Adirondack Scenic, who has done previous work for Disney, including Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, Frozen Ever After, Na'Vi River Journey, and Morimoto Asia.
Progress has been moving more rapidly in recent months, following a year of slow-moving preparation work.
Announced almost three years ago at D23 Expo in August 2019, this will be the first-ever attraction based on the Walt Disney Animation Studios hit film, "Moana." Disney says it "will let guests interact with magical, living water in a beautiful and inspiring setting."
Disney is still to announce an opening timeframe, but the expectation is that it will open in 2023 with more details to be announced at the upcoming D23 Expo in September.
