EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[WDWFREAK53]

Lmao i just saw that and i laughed alot! Maybe its more common in british english ? I cant ever remember hearing it in real conversation except when referring to carpet.

I'm assuming you've never seen Austin Powers?

So we’re speaking “English English“

Moana does know a thing or two about restoring balance to nature. Instead of recycling, working with local officials to stop deforestation, or supporting ecotourism efforts that cause minimal environmental impact, she stuck a rock into a monster.

It's... not perfect. But there is a through-line that is essentially about respecting the earth.

Its much better if you understand the ecological progression of volcanic islands. The reason they are so lush and verdant is because of the mineral content of the material as it degrades into soil over time. That's one of the problems of people's mindsets today, their scale of reference is way too short, they want immediate gratification even if it's short-sighted.

Right, that makes sense - I’ve seen the original pre-show for The Living Seas! It’s true what you say about instant gratification, too.

I wonder if the pathway will begin with a volcano feature or just go over the water cycle.

I wonder why this gets its own icon in the lineup, given that it is really more a part of the Seas than a pavilion.

Mousepad/MousePlanet used to be (not sure if it still is, I haven't posted there in over 15 years!) amazingly overzealous with the filters. During a Simpsons thread, it would filter out all mentions of "Quimby"... when only part of that word could even be remotely considered derogatory during Victorian times.

Because it’s not considered part of the Seas

So, rhetorically speaking, should the fountains outside of Imagination not be considered part of the Imagination pavilion and therefore get their own icon?

 

[EJ96]

So in the concept art there seems to be smaller buildings in between the Water Path and the Beer Table, are my eyes deceiving me or are they something else? They’re near where the current CC West breezeway is.

I seem to recall those being eventual locations for Starbucks and Meet and Greet’s. I could be wrong.

 

[Seabasealpha1]

Wouldn’t it be great if the whole attraction’s summed up point would equal what Ernest P Worrel said in the Splash Mountain special?

“Water runs down ‘ya hill...”

No. Because those ARE considered part of the Imagination pavilion.

You seem to be missing the point...

What exactly is the criteria for receiving a pavilion icon, and why?

 

[MrConbon]

We can overlay Kali by having all the princesses show up commanding an army of their animal sidekicks that attack the loggers and deforesters and destroys their equipment!!

Not gonna lie I would be down for a retheme of Kali to a Pocahontas raft ride.

Marketability.

Only if they double the length, otherwise she would be singing "Just around the river- oh wait, we're here".

Also, Disney's branding mandates probably prevents them from crossing the Moana/Nemo streams.

I guess there were no abandonment issues huh @WDW Pro....

If someone can tell me why my post was deleted so I don't make the same mistake again I'd appreciate it...

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

2021 opening seems unlikely to me considering we may very well be stuck with Innoventions West still standing for the grand majority of the year, if it even gets cut whatsoever.
