Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[DCBaker]

Walt Disney Imagineering has shared that Te Fiti has been placed inside Journey of Water overnight.

Wow. Saw the dais she was going on in the aerials, but I imagined her build would be more of a process.

I'm going in early July 2023... what are the chances this is open? I mean, I know it could be done by then if they wanted it to be, but I also know that they specifically said "late" 2023... though it would seem to make more sense to open it when it is warmer out...

WDI is repeatedly saying late 2023. I suspect it may have to do with access from the surrounding areas.

Need a monorail shot for scale.

argh!!!!!!

They should have put this in last. This is going to be torture seeing all this from behind a wall in April.

(torture may be a bit hyperbolic, but I will whine a little)

I'd rather see something over there other than mud even if I can't get to it.

I won't see mud, only walls! We enter from IG, so no monorail view for us.

Not bad at all. Was expecting much worse

Ah…. Oh nevermind.

So that green is not gonna faded or anything just sitting out in the sun for a whole year, right?

Were people biting their nails this much over all the artificial flora in Pandora? Or the Tree of Life, for that matter?

I dunno, I wasn't being serious.

Wait– you mean to tell me that all those otherworldly plants aren't real?

I'm not sure what I expected, and I know it's not complete, but the Te Fiti seems to be on the small side for what it's supposed to represent.

ETA: No, I don't think they should make it larger if it's going to be here

After a few Moana margaritas at an EPCOT Quarterly Small Plate Soirée, that thing will look massive!
