Agreed, even if it’s tied to an IP, I will take ADDITIONAL NEW attractions anytime, even stupid ones like Journey of Water.
Does anyone know if there are tours of the water filtration plant?

Yes for $33.97 Adults ($16.45 Children) you can take the "Behind The Drips" tour for a thrilling look at state-of-the-art water filtration system that creates the magic behind Moana's Cycle Of Water attraction. If it is successful there will be a dining package tied to it for summer 2024.

was there this past sunday, was not crowded and walked through quickly. Im sorry i have to say this was the biggest waste of time, effort and money. First off its tiny, though this was a much bigger area and second this does not fit into Epcot, this should have been in Animal Kingdom where it would have fit right in. It is also impossible to enjoy the water features as there are so many kids that want to do it, you cant tell just them "out of the way" so we walked past most of it (it is for the kids after all not me). Also no reason to get wet on this walk-through, last thing i want is recycled water sprayed on me. I know ill get some people scolding me for being negative on this but im sorry, as a long time Disney fan, this attraction seems forced into the space its in, almost shoehorned. The fact that Epcot was supposed to be an ever evolving worlds fair in future world just does not lend itself to this walk through. Maybe if they had a pacific pavilion it could be an attraction but not where they stuck it.

Okay guys... After assuming since before it opened, I finally experience it for myself. And.
Yea.
It's a water playground.
And.
Wrong park.
Just confirming my original opinions.

Yep. That's an unpopular opinion. Lol
You haven't yet seen or experienced the new park it's in. This is still a comparison to Future World, which doesn't exist any more.

Nope most people love it and think it’s very fitting.

A side note-- how long has this thing been open?
They already have a few water stations and effects not working on this thing. Looks like a maintenance nightmare.

EPCOT is DOOMED.... Might as well change its name to Animal-less Kingdom.
Well at least we will always have the food booths

I experienced it for the first time a couple weeks ago now. For what it is it’s lovely. I didn’t find it overly in your face Moana. Yes there is the Te Fiti statue or whatever you want to call it but outside of that Moana is more subtle. I have to say kids were in love with the play aspects. I’ve talked with friends and others too who say their kids loved it. I think that’s really who the target audience is for this and its working.
According to an Unscrupulous source, the water in JoW is heated when temperature in WDW is low.
(Or, when it's in the 60's, the water, which has been in the 70-80s, feels heated.)

was going to say this. we went through last week to see it at night and I was really surprised how many elements were already not working.

I'm not sure "already not working" is exactly the right framing. There are certain effects—particularly the ones just before the caves where the water rises to meet your hand—that have regularly gone down for maintenance even before the attraction officially opened. I'd be interested to know the why, but it's not performing any worse than when it opened; there just seems to be a reliability issue with that portion for whatever reason.

fwiw, we had no issues on two walk throughs (one being during previews). We went one night recently -- there was one of the water string areas that was blocked off, another had water flowing but the sound did not corollate with ones strumming of the water. On the same night, the large area where folks make the water shoot super high, well that one was not working.
I hope it was just an off night, but it seems a shame if this will need constant attention to keep in working order.

Everything at WDW needs constant attention to keep it in working order. The question is will it get the attention it needs.
