Journey of Water is a walkthrough Epcot attraction inspired by the 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, right located next door to the attraction, would opened in exact same date, which was became part of Journey of Water Pavilion.
Journey of Water is a garden featuring interactive fountains and other water features leading from the current Innoventions plaza (replacing much of Innoventions West) down to The Seas Pavilion. Anchored by a massive topiary of Te Fiti, Journey of Water serves as 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 1st to 22nd, 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]
