Journey of Water, inspired by Moana is a brand new attraction at EPCOT at Walt Disney World! Based on the Walt Disney Animation Studios film fan favorite Moana, this new attraction is inspired by Moana's friendship with water and her devotion to nature.
Journey of Water, Epcot's new Moana-themed walk-through attraction, has officially opened to visitors at Walt Disney World in Florida. The self-guided, tropical-themed experience is the first Disney parks attraction inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Moana.
To enter the meet and greet line, guests will have to go to the right side of Spaceship Earth. There is an A-frame sign and cast member that guides guests into the queue. The actual line is in that small pathway that opened up a couple of months ago.
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana officially opens on Oct. 16 which coincides with the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company – talk about an exciting day! Be sure to stay up-to-date with our latest adventures at our resort and around the state at DisneyFlorida.com.
