EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[DCBaker]

Journey of Water hours have been updated for tomorrow, Wednesday, October 11. Previously listed as closed, the calendar now shows it will be open from 12pm to 5pm. Thursday still currently shows no hours.

 

[Chef idea Mickey`=]

but "World Celebration" sounds too much like World Showcase... isn't that what World Showcase is? a celebration around the world? I think all of the names were too contrived and felt designed by committee... The three "neighborhoods" just feels ridiculous especially since one of the three pavilions in a row is not part of that neighborhood... It is just feels poorly thought out.

Which is why I would called the entire Future World area "World Discovery" and World Showcase

calling the front of the park "World Discovery" works...but not when paired up with World Celebration and World Nature...it is just awkward and even more confusing....

The walkway to World Nature adjacent to JoW is now playing the JoW area music as opposed to the main loop played everywhere else.

Here’s a quick video I took:

I've got to say, that seeing Moana standing there outside adjacent to The Seas works well for me.

Went to Epcot today and it was incredibly crowded (and hot compared to an extremely pleasant and cool last week). The adults weren’t the most thrilled; and my year and a half year old nephew wasn’t having it.

We weren’t able to do Moana since we were only in the park for a few hours, but it’s exactly what we would’ve needed. A reprieve from the crowds, a way to cool off (which is even more important in true peak heat), and a lucious experience.

I’ll report back when we actually do get to experience JoW, but from what I’ve seen, and what I’ve experienced of needs as a park guest, this will be a home-run long term.

Wow... It looks beautiful having that dead end open, being able to get in to Seas and go straight across without going all the way to the center.

That's one of the things I was most happy to see in this project.

When our family (myself, my wife, our 3 grown children, our SonIL, and our 2 granddaughters) were at Epcot for rope drop on Sat., Oct. 7th, they had a soft opening for Moana that we attended. It was actually pretty fun, and our granddaughters really enjoyed it…kinda’ a bit of a throwback to original EPCOT Center “edutainment”…!!!

Total of about 16 minutes of footage looped a few times

But looks very nice. I look forward to seeing it in person someday, though it still doesn't fit in Epcot, at least not in this particular spot.

They should do this but with Living with the Land barn scene so we can finally get the official audio from it.

Be nice to get an official loop for each park of various calming/relaxing music

There is a roughly eight hour VQ wait for the attraction today. I do hope that the people in the queue understand what they're waiting for.

I guess my question is...since this is a walk-through, are they pushing people through or allowing them to stay as long as they want?
