The brand-new experience, in the newly created World Nature neighborhood of EPCOT, allows guests to explore and play with water as it travels the global cycle from our skies, rivers and streams and oceans. Disney said the experience will also teach guests about ways to protect the natural resource while also making a positive impact for the world.
