Journey of Water
The self-guided tour invites Walt Disney World Guests to explore an outdoor trail where they can play and interact with water as it travels between the sky and ocean. It will also include a beautiful scale model of Te Fiti and rock work inspired by the Polynesian islands in the film.
Along the journey, Park Guests will learn about water and its playful personality—just like Moana did on her animated adventure from Motunui to Te Fiti.

Available for all ages, the new attraction is located within the World Nature at EPCOT. The newly designed neighborhood will be dedicated to understanding and preserving the beauty and balance of the natural world.
Journey of Water will be the first theme park attraction based on the animated feature Moana (2016). However, there is talk of additional lands and attractions coming to other Disney Parks in the future.

Moana appears to be on the mind of Disney much lately as there is still talk surrounding the upcoming live action remake starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and rumors of another Moana attraction coming to Animal Kingdom (replacing areas of Dinoland USA).
