Are you a fan of Moana (2016)? If so we bet you are excited for the upcoming Moana-themed attraction coming to EPCOT. Well, we have some great news to share as construction continues on the soon-to-be attraction, meaning it is inching closer to its debut!
In 2019, Disney announced that an all-new attraction themed after the story of Moana would be arriving at EPCOT. The new attraction will be called Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana and, according to Disney officials, will be the “first-ever experience inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ hit film [and] will let Guests interact with magical, living water in a beautiful and inspiring setting.”
Earlier this year, we reported that the construction site for the upcoming attraction is visible. Now we are seeing the construction work progressing as the attraction inches closer to opening.
