How do you know the “regular guy” wasn’t the cast member. This conversation is quite ridiculous

Honestly ... this is a weird thing to be upset about. Come across as pure envy. Time to move on.

As of right now the preview is a walk-in, no wait time at all. But cast members are still (rightfully) enforcing the park reservation rule (I park hopped over and thought I'd at least politely ask). Will be back on Thursday with a park pass, so hoping to walk right up.
1. Are you some youth posting in a Disney fan forum?
2. Thanks to "the school year" and "school nights," Disney parks would only be open about one third of the time they are now without Disney adults.

Why is there even a que for this? I hate to say it but this attraction to me is underwhelming. It’s a good landscape and nice spot to walk thru but the features are nothing worth waiting in line for. If I want a Journey thru water I can go to Typhoon Lagoon and do that amazing trail they have.

It's new. People want to see it because it's new.
Like a new popcorn bucket.
It hasn't gone through it's life cycle in which people skip it because they've seen it already.

For my wife and i today it was a yawn. Everything is off the shelf technology that's already employed at other attractions, but I do give them props for moving the sewage smell to the Eastern side of Nature.
I heard AP's were having picnics in the exploration trail.
Figment has proven his popularity for over 20 years despite the neglect of management. This walk-through exploration trail will be of limited interest to a lot of park guests. And I don't really think yours is an apples-to-apples comparison, but I understand your point.

His popularity explodes for a couple of days when a new or limited availability thing appears. His ride is a walk-on, though that is admittedly an unfair metric since it’s pretty garbage. Does his meet and greet still draw significant lines even just a couple of weeks out? Genuinely curious as I don’t know the answer, but I haven’t seen continued obvious overcrowding on any streams.

I think the Mr. Toad popcorn bucket in comparison the Figment bucket can help illustrate what HP is getting at. When they announced Mr. Toad would be closing at WDW, people made custom t shirts and held protests on site. 25 years later, the Toad popcorn bucket lasted like 3 months instead of the few days they expected (and advertised).

I am baffled at the need (or is it just a TDO bureaucratic want?) for all of this safety warning signage for this.
At the entrance there are four (4!) different shapes and sizes of signs that have different and sometimes duplicate warnings and instructions on them. Why? Then they staff all the signage with an immersive hostess from Moana's kingdom to speak to you about all the signage surrounding her.
But my goodness, it's that big sign behind the hostess podium that really takes the cake. "Magical", it is certainly not.
Any Disney attraction with warnings about "DIARRHEA" and "SWIM DIAPERS" and "BATHING LOADS" needs a rethink, in my opinion. (What the heck is a "bathing load"?) It's almost too bad they couldn't get Imodium as a corporate sponsor.

You can't buy a bucket, or plastic bag without a warning on it.
Vehicles will soon have "Check for your children before exiting" messages in them if the don't already.

Those are usually required for water play areas. This is much like what you would see at a splash pad or the like. The corporate lawyer in me is guessing Disney Legal saw the possibility of the classification, so they required signage accordingly.
The others are more about actual communication and relevant warnings IMHO.

Mine does if it senses something that creates movement in the back seat using an ultrasonic sensor after it's turned off and the driver's door is opened it makes a sound and throws something up on the dash console.

It should be a temporary blip in terms of strong demand.
If this requires any real queue a year after opening (except maybe major holidays) there is something seriously wrong with Epcot.
That the river ride in Pandora typically has over an hour wait is a sign that park is in need of more.
While I'm never going to agree with the particular placement of this, all the parks need more stuff like this that shouldn't command huge crowds or have waits to offset the e-tickets that probably always will.
