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.”
As construction progresses on the Journey of Water site, we are now seeing parts really take form — including a very interesting feature.
Twitter user bireconstruct shared some images of the current construction work happening at Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, one of which revealed a tunnel of some sort. Per bioreconstruct:
This tunnel is one of the most interesting features seen so far in the Journey of Water rock work.

In World Nature, The reinvention of Epcot will include Journey of Water, Inspired by “Moana.” This first-ever experience inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ hit film will let guests interact with magical, living water in a beautiful and inspiring setting.
