Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is a walkthrough water trail attraction at Epcot, a theme park at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida. The attraction depicts the Earth's water cycle and is inspired by the 2016 animated film Moana.[1]

It was originally set to open in 2021 as a part of Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary celebration. However, the attraction was delayed to October 16, 2023, as part of The Walt Disney Company's centennial celebration, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, it was announced that a new outdoor meet-and-greets location called Character Greeting, located next to the attraction, would open on the same date, which became part of Journey of Water Pavilion.

Summary

Journey of Water is a garden featuring interactive fountains and other water features leading from CommuniCore Hall (replacing much of Innoventions West) down to The Seas Pavilion. Anchored by a massive topiary of Te Fiti and rock formations of HeiHei, Pua and Moana, Journey of Water serves as a whimsical exploration of the water cycle (which was divided into seven segments of the story: rain, stream, wetland, land, lake, river, ocean, and sky) and how it sustains our world.[2]

The walkthrough attraction had two sets of previews, from July 25 to August 19, 2023,[3] and from September 1 to 22, exclusively for Walt Disney World cast members.[4] The attraction had DVC and annual passholder previews on September 24 to 29 and October 1 to 4,[5] before it officially opened on October 16, 2023.[6]
