EPCOT’s massive transformation is almost complete!
Disney shared that the overhaul would be complete by December 2023, and we’ve already seen some major changes over the last few months. Most notably — Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana has officially opened today. Along with this new attraction opening, Disney released a NEW map for the park — come check it out!
In celebration of Journey of Water, you’ll find Te Fiti on the cover.
In the directory, the map lists the new attraction with the description: “Stroll along an interactive outdoor trail and explore the wonders of water.”
In the features section, there is also a highlight, explaining how you will get to learn about “the importance of water” and “discover its playful personality.”
There’s a new illustration for the Journey of Water, too, and across from the attraction, you’ll find a Mickey icon to denote the meet-and-greet location for Moana.
This matches the new illustration that recently debuted in the My Disney Experience App, which centers around the stunning Te Fiti icon you’ll spot when you walk through the trails.
We also noticed that Swirled Showcase, one of the 100th Anniversary booths added for the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, is listed as a dining location!
While Disney has previously shared that these new booths would be sticking around for the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, could this mean it will be around for longer? It is currently the only festival booth listed this way.
We’ll keep an eye out for any more updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
