Moana Journey of Water Construction Update for May 2023. Explore the wonders of water along an interactive trail that’s fun for all ages—based on the Disney animated film Moana.
We got to ride the Disney Monorail around Epcot recently and brought back some images to share and an update. Journey of Water looks almost complete besides some residual work being done. Disney recently installed directional signs around the attraction. They also appear to have installed signage that may be for plaques that describe what you are looking at.
The new attraction will give guests the opportunity to playfully interact with water, just as its inspiration, Moana did. A live-action “Moana” film is in development from Walt Disney Studios, with Dwayne Johnson reprising his role of Maui.
We are so excited to continue sharing this beloved story. With new experiences in World Nature, World Discovery and World Showcase neighborhoods of EPCOT, and great progress being made in World Celebration, we are excited to be one step closer to the completion of our multi-year transformation of EPCOT.
Moana Journey of Water Construction Update for May 2023
Stroll along a self-guided outdoor trail where you can play and interact with water as it travels from the sky to the oceans and back again. Along the way, learn about the importance of water and discover its playful personality—just as Moana did on her heroic voyage.
As we celebrate our 100th anniversary this year, we are so proud of Disney’s legacy, and the connection our fans around the world have with our brand. It’s something we never take for granted, and it gives us even greater drive to continue creating, innovating and storytelling for years to come.
Dancing With The Stars is sliding back over to ABC
Dancing With the Stars fans are going to have to re-set their DVR’s, as the show is moving back to ABC. After a year-long stint on Disney+, the show is heading back to its original home for its 32nd season, according to reporting by Variety and Vulture.
Dancing With The Stars originally airing on ABC (also owned by Disney) for 17 years prior to moving to Disney+. The move back to ABC may be tied to the Writers Guild of America strike, which will have a severe impact on scripted television content. The show will still continue to stream on Disney+ at the same time it is airing on ABC and will also be available the next day on Hulu.
The 32nd season of Dancing With the Stars will be co-hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough. The panel of judges will consist of Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough. Long-term judge Len Goodman stepped down as head judge in November 2022 and later passed away on April 22, 2023.
