How to join the Journey of Water Inspired by Moana Virtual Queue

Although the walk-through attraction is officially open, Disney says it will continue using a Virtual Queue during busy periods, as it did during the soft-opening period. No Individual Lightning Lane option exists, and Journey of Water is not part of Genie+.

When in operation, the Virtual Queue opens at 8:45 am. Guests must have a park reservation for EPCOT and be inside EPCOT to join.

Using the My Disney Experience app, each Guest can request to enter the Journey of Water Virtual Queue once per day during regular park hours. The Journey of Water Virtual Queue is separate from the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Virtual Queue, and joining one does not prevent joining the other.
