The Realists Take

If Moana blessed us with wisdom of, “There’s just no telling how far I’ll go,” then Disney took it to heart and translated it to, “There’s just no telling how far we can make you walk.” All in the name of celebrating the colossal 100-year milestone, Disney comes up with Journey of Water, a hike down tropical depiction of Moana’s world where you can wave to water streams (no, they don’t wave back) or make music with “rain harps” if you fancy a jamming session. The cherry on the top of this oceanic cake comes in the form of a run-in with a Moana-impersonating Disney cast member, positioned strategically to give fans all the Moana fix they need. A realisation of Walt Disney’s forward-thinking vision that “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible,” the Journey of Water is undoubtedly a walking testament to the age-old Disney magic that has survived 100 rollercoaster years! Veteran or not, grab your sneakers and maybe a bottle of water (doing the whole water conservation thing), ’cause this journey promises to be the perfect blend of calorie burning and magic swerving!
