I’m hearing the water is not as friendly as advertised and the high-fives are more like glancing fist bumps.

It is interesting that the reviewer kept saying "Later in the day" or "when this is not crowded and no one is there, this will work great" ...so I don't think this area will hold crowds well... yes there will be room for people, but if most of the effects will be un-noticeable unless there are relatively few people there, it makes it feel more like a splashpad than an Epcot Pavilion Exhibit. He actually used the word "Splashpad" to describe it...lol

Parts of it are a splashpad.
Effects that depend on the crowd to work only work for a small number of people. That's true no matter where you are.

Hey, they spent $400+ million on Guardians and I forget how much to shoehorn Rat in behind France. Harmodious. Construction walls for years. A misplaced Moana water thing. LOOK AT ALL THEY'VE GIVEN US!!! Several people have proclaimed this version of Epcot to be the bestest one ever, what...

Funny, I thought you heard it wasn't testing well.
What do your sources say?

Well, where did you hear it was testing poorly?

Ok. Testing, previews? So, answer me this, after all this building time what is Disney going to do with it if the results of this testing and previewing are not good? Plow it under and just keep construction walls up until someone gets another idea.?

They’ll stick Moana herself in for a meet and greet and then the masses will think k it’s the best thing ever

Open it, hype it, and count on the metaphorical blindness of fans from seeing it for what it is.

I heard it was not testing well from a Cast Members brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate, and that part of the delay is for ongoing adjustments with the effects and overall experience to address this.
Now we got the out of the way, can we readdress the original question?
Has anybody have any additional information on how the previews are actually going other than some negative feedback I heard, and a positive review from a blogger?
I've heard tons of positive feedback. I'm not going to tell you from where though, just trust me.

No, delay the opening by addressing feedback/comments and implementing improvements.

I read an absolutely glowing review. Used tons of great words like "magical", "innovative", "imaginative" and "wishful". Was written by some blogger I've never heard of named "Rob Biger"
I think that passes the sniff test!
I've actually heard nothing. I didn't really think we would. While I'm excited for it, I don't think (most) people care anywhere near as much as they would a ride.

Is this true or are you joking?
