Journey of Water
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is an upcoming walkthrough Epcot attraction inspired by the animated film, Moana.[1] It was originally set to open in 2021 as part of Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary celebration. However, the attraction was delayed to 2023, as part of the "Disney 100 Years of Wonder" celebration, since the opening was postponed indefinitely following the closure of the park due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
