EPCOT’s Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, will be an outdoor trail where Guests can take a self-guided tour, learning all about water.

In this attraction, Guests will learn about the water’s life cycle from the sky into the seas and eventually back into the sky again. Not only that, but Guests can also play and interact with the water, which will have a “playful personality,” according to Disney’s official website.

EPCOT’s Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, is scheduled to open in Walt Disney World in late 2023, but fans are always excited to see updates on the attraction’s construction.
