Disney announced at Destination D23 that Moana's Journey of Water will open on Oct 16, 2023! Moana will also be coming to World Nature for a character meet-and-greet with guests in her dedicated space near Journey of Water.
Maui (/ma?wi?/) is a fictional character from Walt Disney Animation Studios' 56th animated film, Moana. Created by directors Ron Clements and John Musker, and voiced by Dwayne Johnson, Maui is loosely based on Maui from Hawaiian mythology.
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is scheduled to open October 16, 2023 within World Nature—the EPCOT neighborhood dedicated to understanding and preserving the beauty and balance of the natural world.

During their journey, Maui tells Moana about his past. He says that he was abandoned by his parents and adopted by the gods. When Moana and Maui find Te Ka, a spirit risen due to the stealing of the heart of Te Fiti, they fail to get past her and Maui's hook is badly damaged. Upset and let down, Maui leaves Moana.
2023 marks the end of its transformation with Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, opening Oct. 16. World Celebration will also be completed in December with a new statue of Walt Disney in an area called Dreamers Point and a new exhibition space called CommuniCore Hall.
The Moana water ride is an exciting addition to EPCOT. By replacing The Seas pavilion and weaving Moana's narrative into its fabric, Disney is ensuring that the park continues to capture the essence of exploration and imagination.
