Journey of Water is Using a Virtual Queue This Morning!
Journey of Water is utilizing a virtual queue this morning!
Today is the first day of the soft opening at EPCOT’s new Moana-inspired area and MickeyBlog is there!
If you’re planning to visit during the soft opening period, here’s what you need to know…
Virtual Queue
Today marks day one of the soft opening period for Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. This area is one part of a large refurbishment in EPCOT.
While the official opening isn’t for a couple weeks, Disney recently announced a soft opening that begins today.
For now, guests wanting to experience Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will need to join a virtual queue. This is the same process Disney has used for other new and popular attractions.
Cast Members told our reporters that they’re using the virtual queue in case of large crowds, but are not sure how long it will be necessary.
This area could move to a stand-by line later today or tomorrow. It’s all going to depend on how things go this morning.
As with other virtual queues, you can join through your My Disney Experience app. If you receive a group number, the app will notify you when it’s time to return.
When your group is called, you’ll have a one-hour return window to enter the line.
We’ll keep an eye on things to see if the virtual queue stays!
Grand Opening
Cast Members, Annual Passholders, and Disney Vacation Club Members have all been able to experience this new area during select preview times. This soft opening period is the first it’s open to the general public.
The official grand opening date for this experience is October 16, 2023.
Guests should be sure to utilize the My Disney Experience app for all information during the soft opening and after the grand opening!
The app will stay up-to-date with whether a virtual queue is needed for entry, and also with meet-and-greet times for Moana.
If you’re headed to EPCOT this morning, just remember that Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is utilizing a virtual queue right now and get your spot in the queue!
