food IS a theme park
EPCOT’s massive transformation is moving right along, and we are HERE for it.
EPCOT
We’ve watched EPCOT change so much just over the past few years, including new lighting on Spaceship Earth (and we are OBSESSED with it), a new Guardians of the Galaxy-themed roller coaster, and several new restaurants. However, we’re also excited about the upcoming Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction, and we just got an important update!
The opening of the NEW Moana-themed attraction — Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana — is getting closer and closer, and the space is looking much more complete these days.
EPCOT
We’ve been tracking its construction for a long time, listening for new things near the attraction, and watching for opening date details (of course). The walk-through attraction is not set to open until the fall of 2023, but BOY is it looking different these days compared to where it was even just a few months ago. And as we stopped by recently, we noticed even more new things!

Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana will be a walk-through experience that encourages guests to play with “magical, living water.” We’ve shared all kinds of construction updates about it, why we’re worried about it, and even a peek at some testing that has been done. But now something new has arrived at the attraction — you’ll just have to listen verrrrrry closely to notice it.
UPDATED: October 30, 2024
A LOT has changed in Disney World in the past few years, but here’s the thing — even MORE changes are on the way.
Even MORE big changes are coming to Disney World
So if you’re planning a trip to Disney World in 2024, you might be a little confused about everything that’s changing (and it IS a lot). But don’t worry — because we’re going to tell you exactly HOW things are going to change for you when you make that trip.
Since it was first announced, we’ve been SO excited for the chance to have our first walkthrough of the Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana! But as much as we’re looking forward to our chance to play in this space…we’re also getting more and more worried.

Guests will be able to explore what Disney has described as a “lush exploration trail” that allows explorers to “play with magical, living water” through an immersive walk-through attraction. Well, we sure hope so.
A NEW attraction is opening this fall (2023) in EPCOT: Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on construction for this attraction and have seen lots of new rock formations, plenty of foliage, and even what appears to be the entrance go up in World Nature. Now, Disney has released NEW photos of the attraction! [Read more…]
EPCOT has seen a LOT of change over the past few years as it undergoes a massive transformation. If you’ve visited EPCOT recently, you might have noticed that construction walls seem to be almost everywhere at the front of the park. That’s because there’s still work to be completed.
A LOT is happening at EPCOT right now
Not only is a new Moana-themed attraction coming to that part of the park, but the World Celebration area is getting a HUGE overhaul with new structures and a statue of Walt Disney. So let’s see how construction is coming along on all that.
Some important CHANGES are coming to Disney World, and now we’ve got some hints about a few more.
Spaceship Earth
We already know that a new fireworks show is coming to EPCOT this year, a new restaurant (The Cake Bake Shop) will be opening at Disney’s BoardWalk, and construction is ongoing as Splash Mountain becomes Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. But now we’ve got some more important updates you need to know about.
It is a good time to be a Moana fan.
EPCOT
Not only is a live-action Moana movie in the works, but the Hei Hei Cone has returned to Typhoon Lagoon, as well as a Moana cone. Also, work is coming right along with the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction in EPCOT, and we’ve got the latest update on that!
The EPCOT transformation has been a years-long project (and if you’ve been to EPCOT, you’ve seen ALL the construction walls).
Welcome to EPCOT
Although a lot of the transformation is complete, including two new rides (Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), even MORE is coming, including a new attraction based on Moana. Now, we have a BIG update about that attraction.
