    Journey of Water Inspired by Moana officially opens October 16, 2023!

    This is a pretty good solution to my urges to slap the water on the Three Caballeros ride after too much margarita. Also while I get the comments mentioning it should be in AK, I'm grateful they added a shady, cooling attraction to Epcot - which is notoriously a bit of a frying pan to walk across. This will be a treat for weathering that summer heat.

    Nailed it in the opening statement. EPCOT was based on the World's Fair. Exhibiting the world of tomorrow. Edutainment. I miss Horizons, Universe of Energy, Communicore. Happily The Land has not changed too much. My favorite attractions at EPCOT will always be Living With the Land, and Spaceship Earth. Keep up the good work AJ and team 🥰

    This feels very old school Epcot! For kids who think Epcot is boring, I think this will be great to give them a nice bit of fun. Not everything has to be a super thrill.

  • @jeffaltier5582

    I really like the fact that this is more of a throwback to the early days of Epcot when it wasn't about rides necessarily. Look forward to seeing it in February.

    This is what I always loved about Epcot! Fun school! Epcot was always my favorite back in the 80s and 90s! I was crushed the last time I went and the pavilions I loved so much were all closed! This looks amazing and absolutely in line with the original feeling of Epcot! I hope the imagineers keep going in this direction!

    I love this because of how Epcot has aged. Epcot and it’s design around education , entertainment and fun all in one was surprisingly great but needed updating (stil love figment) great to see attractions like this in Epcot. I feel more like this linked to Elements some how as it plays to heritage of Epcot will help bring it to a modern day feel, nice work Disney. Very cool 👌

      There is not one palm tree in the attraction which is the first thing you think of when you imagine a Polynesian island, a world showcase area would be great but doubt the nations would have the money to sponsor it. Half of them will be underwater by the time Disney ever thought to do it as well!

      It’s not really that it’s “broken already” just that it’s not technically officially open yet, so they’re still working on parts of it. This video is documenting a test run of it, essentially.
