food IS a theme park
It’s a great time to be a Moana fan!

With the live-action version of the movie in production and Moana 2 just months away from premiering in theatres, we are HYPED. And it seems like Disney is well aware of our anticipation because they just released a sneak peek of a new song featured in the sequel!
You might be thinking, “Bad news?! How is that possible? It’s a NEW EPCOT attraction!” To be fair, we had a BLAST at Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. This new addition to the grand EPCOT transformation is fully welcomed by us here at the Disney Food Blog. In fact, we recommend you go and check it out on your next trip to EPCOT!
It’s a beautiful attraction!
But, hey, nobody’s perfect! Every Disney attraction, no matter how much we love it, has a few flaws. Now that we’ve experienced Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana several times in Disney World, we feel confident enough to come forward with our only small complaint about the attraction. If you’re planning to check it out this winter, you might want to be prepared for one thing.
Disney just loves keeping us on our toes, and this latest surprise is no exception!
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana
EPCOT’s newest attraction, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, has soft-opened ahead of its official opening date and of course, we had to check it out. During previews for Journey of Water, we found out that Disney would be using a Virtual Queue based on demand — so what’s going on now that the attraction is (unofficially) open?
We give you plenty of reasons all the time to visit EPCOT …

… but rarely do we caution you from it. Even though all of the Communicore Hall construction, Food and Wine festival crowds, and whatever’s been going on with the construction in the World Showcase lagoon getting ready for the new nighttime show — Luminous The Symphony of Us, can make your next visit less than desirable, we’ve got a feeling about one particular day soon that you might not mind sitting out.
