Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[GimpYancIent]

Now, the year-long slow turning of the faucet tap to open water's journey begins.

It is a very delicate process, hence the late 2023 opening date.

Sure.

They are using a garden hose.

It’s mind boggling to me that this is “late 2023”

I’ve been staring at the edge of the water, long as I can remember…

I dont even care what it is anymore, i just want the scaffolding and barriers down so that epcot isnt a construction site.

those flowers and moss are going to be so faded by the time it opens in late 2023....

A little fading might improve them, LOL. Perhaps it's just the color saturation in the photos, but I think the mosses and flowers look unsettlingly fake and cartoonish. I mean, they're based on a cartoon IP, but given the "IP but with a scientific and educational emphasis" idea they've been selling, I guess I had assumed that the flowers and greenery would be made to look -- or might even BE -- natural and authentic.

Yes, we don't want them to chip any of that fake rock work.

I think they're supposed to be hibiscus, which can naturally be this bright.

You know what would completely reverse my opinion of this thing? Benches. If they stuffed the space with benches and shade I’d be on board 100%.

Don't drink from the garden hose kids. Epically a garden hose in EPCOT

Look at that solid brass! No expense spared!

So this chart says World Celebration next year, and not 2024?

Yes, but Journey of Water was specifically noted as late 2023.

MORE THAN HALF A DECADE OF CONSTRUCTION WALLS FOR MOST OF EPCOT - for trees and a little bit of water. Let that sink in.

An utter disgrace.

Walls went up in 2019. That’s not more than half a decade
