EPCOT: 💚🌺🌊Journey of Water- Moana…opening October 16th!

Where Water Comes to Life

Stroll along a self-guided outdoor trail where you can play with water as it travels from the sky to the oceans and back again. Stay dry or get wet paths. Along the way, you’ll find that:

• Water Is a Friend: Moana befriended the ocean… and you can, too! Enjoy magical encounters with water and discover its playful personality, just as Moana did on her heroic voyage.
• Water Connects Us All: All water is connected—and it connects us to one another. As you traverse this trail, you’ll connect and interact with water in new ways. And you’ll learn about the global water cycle, which takes water on a wondrous adventure around our planet.
• Water Needs Protection: Throughout your journey, you’ll learn how you can help protect this precious natural resource and make a positive impact on the world.

UPDATE: On October 17, 2023, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be closing early for a private event. The park will close at 5:00 P.M. unless you’re attending the Gartner IT Symposium event. This means there will be no Fantasmic! for anyone not at the event. On top of that, Magic Kingdom is closing at 6:00 pm due to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, so plan your park days accordingly.

🧡Latin American Heritage Month! Celebrate September 15 to October 15, 2023! Encanto Fans! Meet Mirabel beginning Sept. 15 at Magic Kingdom. See Bruno on the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade at Magic Kingdom. Indulge in some delicious eats and drinks at both WDW and Disneyland.
