Journey of Water Testing Is Underway at EPCOT!
After what seems like an eternity of waiting, we are now getting close to the opening of Journey of Water at EPCOT!
Inspired by Moana, the new walkthrough interactive attraction will educate guests on the importance of water to nature, while also letting them discover its playful personality.
The water maze will feature magical, living water in a lush walk-through environment that will engage and educate!
A Long Development
Located in World Nature, the new attraction will be highlighted by a giant Te Fiti topiary. She really towers over the area!.
The attraction was originally announced in 2019, with an opening date of 2021. While COVID-19 delayed the opening, guests will soon finally be able to experience the Journey of Water.
With Cast Member previews expected to kick off soon, a visit to the Journey of Water site shows that the attraction is getting close to opening.
Journey of Water Testing Underway
Today, visitors to World Nature got a surprise — Journey of Water actually had water flowing!
Our reporter Ed was on the scene and got pictures of the attraction in action.
Behind the construction walls, you can see both mist effects and jumping fountains are testing today!
While it is clear that there is still work to be done before the attraction is guest ready, it’s great to see some of the interactive effects have been turned on.
When Will Journey of Water Open?
Currently, Disney says that Journey of Water will be open this fall. With that being said, I would keep my eye on the date of October 1, 2023. With Walt Disney World getting ready to celebrate another anniversary, Disney has the perfect excuse to open the attraction that day.
