Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[Disstevefan1]

I actually really like Connections though. It looks modern while not looking like a hospital either. Also the view of the Epcot ball through the windows with the lights at night is just spectacular.

I like the windows too.

yeah I think they did a great job with connections and the entire Communicore remodel.

Agreed

The interior feels modern and clean without feeling lifeless and bland, the natural light is great during the day, and its a nice place to just rest and talk over the rest of your day plans with your party.

Those canopies are just cheap decorations. I do not like them.

Canopies are an evil necessity when you rip out all shade and trees and create a desolate cement wasteland.

If those were more functional, I wouldn’t have minded them so much.

So do you have a problem with all canopies?
Does their very existence bother you?
There are a lot of them in Galaxy's Edge.

The only thing I hate more than canopies is a complete lack of shade.

It is nice that they added some canopies to replace... you know... the entire indoor building and covered walkway they tore down to build this.... ;-)

(And to be clear, I agree the Pin awnings were a cool idea at first, but they well outstayed their welcome. So, shade is a positive thing in all the parks.)

I think my favorite canopy/shade providing element I've seen is the kites at Dollywood this past summer. It didn't entirely cover the ground, but also gave a fun shadow midday.

If there are plans for more trees within "poopers" I mean "Dreamer's point" I just hope they utilize fiber optic lighting in them to twinkle in the night like they use to have in MK's Hub..

 

[DonniePeverley]

Is this still on going? All this for some rocks and trees.

We were there at that time, too.

I could make a joke about that wood being rock hard, but this is a family site...

And water.

Anyone else feel like Oct 1 is the internal target for this and World Celebration?

Ah, oh well. I suppose we'll see it in a few years then! After April we won't be back until 2025 at the earliest.

It'll be 2026 for us, unless an undecided high school class trip changes to Disney before then. Or we ditch my 14yo sometime during the school years

Seems logical...

Realistically won't be until 2026 for us either - we've got two other big trips for 2024/25. Luckily we will be visiting real tropical paradise, so I'm thinking will be better than Journey of Water.

Whoa. They used "autumn"!

Now we won't be confused whether they mean financial fall, school fall, tourism fall, or astronomical fall. They mean the meteorological fall!

It'll open when the weather dips below 90 degrees!!
