The Realist’s Take:
H2O is the new bling at Disney! As Disney turns 100 this year, it’s splashing out with a wet and wild new addition at EPCOT – Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. It’s basically Disney’s way of climate change adaptation, giving a hint that even our beloved Mickey Mouse might need to start investing in a pair of water wings. But hey, even as sea levels rise, at least there will be plenty to ‘sea’ and do. Enjoy the rain harps, jumping streams, and perhaps the largest wave pool this side of Maui. And guess what, you can finally meet Moana. So, load up the kiddos in the minivan and head to this aquatic wonderland, because as we know, nobody does water quite like Disney. And if that isn’t enough to get you to part with your hard-earned cash, we’ll just throw in the fact that Mickey and Minnie will be working it in their platinum-best attire because, well, it’s Disney’s 100-year fiesta after all!
