Is Moana’s Journey of Water already a *BUST*? | Broken Attractions & More

Today we preview the BRAND NEW Journey of Water Attraction and discover that its already broken only after a week of previews! 😬
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana - Opening October 16, 2023
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. 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.

The kid sticking their head in the fountain is exactly why I have reservations about this attraction. 😂 I love that you caught that moment. I think the concept is really cool, but also feel like some folks are gonna ruin the attraction really quickly.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

i’m not gonna lie. There are some pretty great photo ops in this area but in reality it’s a glorified splash pad. Especially the part in the end is going to get so messy when it comes to unattended children and people trying dumb stuff 😑

[@akconcentrates2755]

Lmao, the kid sticking his head in the water! You guys are hilarious! Great vlog, again!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Had to keep it real hahaha The kid thing was just a big shock and hope we went about it the right way by not showing their face or anything (which we do with every kid in the background of our videos anyway 😅)

[@akconcentrates2755]

I always talk about how respectful u are towards children! U are a class act, for real, and i love your honesty!

[@ChrissyCees]

You took a lot of the words right out of my mouth. This is more scenery then it is attraction and seems to be more geared towards smaller children. This is an interesting choice for a park not really geared towards small kids. I see it more as crowd control and a way to divert traffic from the world showcase although 151 people not much of a diversion. Overall think it’s a waste. I think Moana should have been a water ride attraction.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

it’s great to hear that. We have similar thoughts on the attraction! And I will reiterate again I did actually enjoy my time there. Unfortunately, it’s probably going to be a one and done. I don’t know if you remember last year, when Disney teased a possible water ride at animal kingdom for Moana, but as of this past weekend, they have changed their minds on that once again 🤦‍♂️

[@ChrissyCees]

@@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs yes I am going back in March. I will go check it out but like you said one and done.

[@mindyhooper4880]

Ryan killing it with the sick beats! 😂 And the hidden rock characters brings me back to the Highlights magazine.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank you! And yea! That’s exactly what i was thinking!! 😂

[@maryellenryan4137]

I love how the mom did nothing when her kid put his head in the fountain. To me the whole thing looks boring and it’s definitely not something I’m going to miss not doing.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

I will say again, I enjoyed myself. I liked it. But there’s a few problems we ran into and that’s something we needed to mention on top of the highlights from the attraction 😅

[@Miche353]

That is crazy that it’s broken already. Lucky to visit early. Was hoping a certain cm could get me a preview for this week, but she is not taking my hints. Lol

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

for theme park, attractions downtime for certain elements is fully expected, heck, rise of the resistance saw elements, breaking down within the first six months of opening. But ONE WEEK into a preview is kinda crazy to see things already not working 🤯

[@carri2241]

I think its stunning. I can only imagine what it will be like at night. It's very old school Disney, something I can appreciate. The kid situation was def a wtf moment.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Old school disney is honestly the best description I’ve heard of it so far! The only reason we would be rushing to try it again, is to be able to do it at night 😄 Can’t wait for that ❤️

[@allaboardblakestrainsandmore]

It's pretty, but definitely for young kids. Someone said it would have been a great que for a Moana ride.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Yes, absolutely! If only Disney actually wouldn’t follow through with creating the Moana water ride that they talked about for animal kingdom, and then pretended like they didn’t mention it a year later 😄

[@goldenhermit]

Looks cute. Few thoughts… 1. Even with the education side of it, I think this fits Animal Kingdom better. 2. Kid sticking their head in the fountain is super gross! I hope they built in some sort of filter system. 3. As someone who also suffers from IBS, I’m offended. (Reminder to others with IBS, it is qualification to get a DAS pass.) 4. Why isn’t this a ride queue leading to a moana ride? 5. Even though it looks cute, I will probably not do it if it’s looking crowded.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

OMG THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SAY ALL THIS 1. I do think this would’ve made a great addition to Animal Kingdom, especially if they lean more towards the animal characters from the movie. 2. I am sure they have a filtration system already in place. 😆 3. It was mostly a joke, but i do really have IBS. Although, I do not use DAS for my symptoms because I mostly have it under control. 4. That’s exactly what it felt like, very much like the seven dwarfs mine train line when it first opened. 5. Same 😑

[@EpcotCenter1982]

I agree with everything in this post

[@warrenmarshall502]

As always y’all are so funny! 😂 Thank you for a great laugh and video!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank you so much for watching Warren! 🤘

[@donalowrie5683]

Hey Ryan ! I agree with you, I have UC . The whole diarrhea thing I feel should be common sense lol We aren't sitting in the water either but then you show someone letting their kid stick their head in the water. Where was the cast member to stop that nonsense? ugh! I love when you capture the true things that happen lol You guys are awesome! #truth

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

we definitely try her best to go in with a positive mindset, but definitely wanted to highlight some logistical aspects that we saw nobody else talking about in the previews since there are so many other creators, who already did videos on this new attraction! ❤️🙏❤️

[@coherentpanda7115]

Journey of Water looks like a really neat educational attraction... at a science museum. Not sure that it fits Epcot at all, this would have been perfect in Animal Kingdom. With it being so crowded and unsanitary, seems like a good place for a lot of germs to bloom. Hopefully they have strong filtering and scrub it down nightly. They need to put antibacterial soap dispensers at every exit of this attraction.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

They really should put at least hand sanitizer at the end. 👀 Someone else said this in the comments, this would make a great thing for in the line of a Moana ride, like this is the build up for an actual ride… but yeah, not a lot of pay off here

[@janine7904]

My 6 year old loves EPCOT and is looking forward to this on our next trip. Hoping it will have better crowd flow by then.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Crowd flow should die down at some point but probably not for the first year if it’s opening! Only time will tell what the actual plan to prevent a six hour wait will be 😭

[@isabelle_ftlotp3100]

I think this should have just been a Criss Angel attraction

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

1000% yess

[@randolphwilliams2365]

Could be in a science museum or zoo.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Glad i’m not the only one 😂😂

[@greggregg4852]

was there any trouble? with your Stream?

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

I don’t understand the question 🤔😆

[@brooke7916]

So excited for this vid!! I have a random Q, what’s the best time to meet stitch at mnsshp

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank you for such an early comment!! 😆 Best time to meet stitch at MNSSHP would either be during one of the parades or towards the end of the night 😅🙏

[@umwhatbella]

how are you watching ur child just stick their head into the water and think yes this is okay💀

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

There’s an interesting mentality for some parents on vacation where they feel “ I need to have a vacation from being a parent” and just let whatever happen. It’s frustrating, but unfortunately I can’t do anything about it 😑

[@crisbush2034]

Ok, so, I don't think they are targeting people with bowl issues, not the same problem. More like those that are sick and trying to just motor on so to speak. You, myself etc, aren't suffering from a food poisoning, just may need use the toilet more often. Not a disease. I also think, especially since all the shut down and other issues, they are probably trying to cover all issue's. This warning has been a post in my state for years regarding pool use/ water parks use. So I'm used to it. The parents that let their kid stick his head in the water, is just another reason for Disney to cover themselves, with their notice....

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Oh, comments on the disclosure were fully meant as satire, and I probably should have made that more clear! I fully understand the reason behind this and agree with Disney’s decision to have this posted 😄❤️❤️

[@crisbush2034]

@@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs lol! Awesome

[@WhosPiper]

The most expensive and longest to build splash pad ever 😂

[@Dano86]

This looks like a skip for me. Once open, it’s going to be so jammed up with people that I won’t be able to get any of the intended experience. Those sensors will be broken within a few months and half of it won’t work.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

We’re already seeing both of those things and it’s a week and a half into previews 🤦‍♂️ I saw someone post a story from last night. and it was even more packed. like shoulder to shoulder 😭

[@EpcotCenter1982]

So this is a CAST MEMBER preview and a kid sticks his head in the fountain?? Wouldn’t you think that they of all people would be more conscious of their childrens actions?? Wow.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

That would make too much sense 😂 There were only about two cast members I saw beyond the entrance, obviously there should be more 😑

[@clancietyger1179]

I get SO angry when a child does something where there are signs and the adults just watch. We go to Legoland NY all the time and I can’t tell you how many times I have seen someone read the sign but do it anyways!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Unfortunately it’s the nature of theme parks, I wish disney would enforce stuff like this, but it’s hard knowing how many guests would react to simply controlling their own children 😑

[@karencolglazier8427]

Just started your video so not sure your thoughts yet, but so far I vote bust! I haven’t been there though…not for 2 more weeks so we shall see if I change my mind, but so far not impressed.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Would love to hear what you think after you get to see it for yourself! I love the concept and education aspect.. but yeah, the video will explain the rest 😅

[@karly8243]

I have never NOT had diarrhea😢. Doodoo discrimination is wrong

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

all jokes aside, it does make sense, especially after the year that was 2020 🤔😭

[@drshepherd1969]

Seems like a waste of real estate to me. Wrong park, too many people already and its just the previews. If there was more shade might have been a good retreat in the florida summer heat. I think there will be alot of broken water features in no time. The kids mom is just standing there and smiling, smh. Great vlog, hard pass for me, will go straight to the drinking, lol

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

It definitely feels out of place in the center of Epcot, which is 100% very valuable real estate! But it also does not take up too large of a footprint, so I guess it works pretty well on that side of things. I’d definitely recommend trying it once if you get a chance 🤷‍♂️
