What Is the New Disney Attraction Coming to Disney?
In late 2023, Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, will open to the public at Disney World’s EPCOT Park.
The interactive trail “is fun for all ages,” according to the official Disney attraction webpage. Guests will be able to explore the wonders of water, based on the hit Disney animated movie Moana (2016).
According to the official Disney website:
“Stroll along a self-guided outdoor trail where you can play and interact with water as it travels from the sky to the oceans and back again. Along the way, learn about the importance of water and discover its playful personality—just as Moana did on her heroic voyage.”

New EPCOT Journey of Water Inspired by Moana Attraction Gains Traction
As mentioned above, Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, will come to EPCOT in late 2023. The attraction has been a long time coming as news broke out last year of the new experience heading to EPCOT.
Announced in 2019, the attraction gained popularity rather quickly as the film had only been released three years to the date at the time of the experience announcement.
Due to the global pandemic that struck the world in 2020, construction and groundbreaking for the walk-through attraction were pushed back to 2021 and 2022.
Since construction took place, there’s only been a few updates regarding the attraction, and fans have been waiting for quite some time for some news or updates regarding the walk-through experience.
It seems that things are cooking now, as a new video released by Disney showcases some exciting and fun new things for Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana.
