Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will be a self-guided water trail located in the World Nature area of EPCOT, where guests can explore water’s connection to not only humans but the world around us. The attraction is expected to open in late 2023, and now we have a BIG update!
Construction Walls Are Down
When areas around Disney World undergo construction, Disney typically erects construction walls to block the view from guests in the parks.
Of course, depending on what park you’re in, a ride on the PeopleMover or Monorail can get you a unique view of the construction areas!

Big construction wall
In EPCOT, Journey of Water construction has been obscured by the large construction walls you can see below in a past photo. However, things have changed!

Construction wall
During our EPCOT visit today, we noticed that the construction walls surrounding Journey of Water are officially down!
A rolling hedge barrier has replaced the wall for now, but you can get a better view of the upcoming attraction than possible with the walls.

Several structures can now be seen from the walkway, including the tiki torches that recently went up.
