Disney has been making waves with its new attraction at EPCOT: The Journey of Water. Inspired by the popular animated movie Moana, this immersive experience is slated to open in late 2023. Recently, Disney unveiled some fresh insights about the attraction, including a sneak peek at the logo and an update on the Walt Disney World website.
Let’s take a look at what clues Disney has given us for what to expect from this upcoming attraction!
Disney Unveils Logo for The Journey of Water
The anticipation for the Journey of Water attraction has been building since Disney first announced its development. The recent unveiling of the logo for this attraction has only added to the excitement. The logo, much like the attraction itself, is inspired by the rich Polynesian culture depicted in Moana.
The logo features stylized wave motifs and a font reminiscent of Polynesian artistry. This tasteful design hints at the magical aquatic journey that awaits guests at EPCOT.
Updated Attraction Page Reveals Two Paths for Guests
In addition to the logo reveal, Disney has updated the Journey of Water page on the Walt Disney World website. The most intriguing update is the revelation that the attraction will feature two paths. Guests can choose to get wet or stay dry depending on which route they take through the attraction.
This interactive element brings a unique twist to the Journey of Water experience. It allows guests to customize their adventure based on their comfort level, preference, and even the current weather conditions. Those looking for a more cooling and immersive experience can opt for the wet path. Meanwhile, those who prefer to stay dry can still enjoy the stunning visual elements and immersive storytelling of the attraction.
Where Water Comes to Life
Stroll along a self-guided outdoor trail where you can play with water as it travels from the sky to the oceans and back again. Along the way, you’ll find that:
- Water Is a Friend: Moana befriended the ocean… and you can, too! Enjoy magical encounters with water and discover its playful personality, just as Moana did on her heroic voyage.
- Water Connects Us All: All water is connected—and it connects us to one another. As you traverse this trail, you’ll connect and interact with water in new ways. And you’ll learn about the global water cycle, which takes water on a wondrous adventure around our planet.
- Water Needs Protection: Throughout your journey, you’ll learn how you can help protect this precious natural resource and make a positive impact on the world.
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is scheduled to open in late 2023 within World Nature—the EPCOT neighborhood dedicated to understanding and preserving the beauty and balance of the natural world.
Make a Splash… or Stay Dry!
You can choose to get wet—or take the dry path instead—as you explore this whimsical, watery world.
