In addition to Journey of Water, it will include The Land and The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilions.Ībove is concept art that Disney has released of the new-look front of EPCOT and these three new neighborhoods. World Nature is dedicated to understanding and preserving the beauty, awe and balance of the natural world. (As a reminder, Walt Disney World has eliminated EPCOT’s Future World and replaced it with 3 new neighborhoods.)

Moana’s Journey of Water will be part of the new World Nature neighborhood. Instead, the water maze will more or less replace half of Innoventions West, which was demolished as part of EPCOT’s central spine redesign. In any case, that’s not where Moana’s Journey of Water is going. (Because both have “Journey” in the name? Perhaps since there’s already a water play area up by the Imagination pavilion?) There has been confusion about this, with some fans who haven’t visited Walt Disney World in the last few years believing it’ll be replacing Journey into Imagination for some reason. Next, let’s take a look at the location of Moana’s Journey of Water. Moana’s Journey of Water will consist of a lush walk-through environment that engages and educates guests about the water cycle and how it sustains our world. This water maze will be an experience where guests can interact with magical, living water in a beautiful and inspiring setting. This is the first Walt Disney World attraction based on the Walt Disney Animation Studios hit film Moana, and will be an exploration trail rather than a ride. Let’s begin with a basic overview of Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana (or Moana’s Journey of Water, as we’ll call it for simplicity’s sake). This covers everything you need to know about the addition: target opening date, concept art, construction progress, and answers to frequently asked questions.

Journey of Water Inspired by Moana is a new attraction coming to EPCOT as Walt Disney World overhauls the front of the park between Spaceship Earth and World Showcase.
