Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, a new walkthrough attraction in Disney World's Epcot theme park, debuted on Monday.

Guests are invited to make their way through a walking trail, where they can engage with water in a number of ways, from playing musical "rain harps" to creating an ocean wave.

The attraction was inspired by the 2016 film "Moana." On the walking trail, the character Te Fiti is featured prominently, acting as a protector of water. Other familiar characters are carved into rock formations along the way.

Guests can meet Moana in a new space just across from the attraction.

The Moana attraction is part of a years-long updating of Epcot, located in the World Nature neighborhood. The World Celebration neighborhood is expected to open in December.

The opening comes during the ongoing celebration of 100 years of Disney, with Epcot at its heart in Disney World. The celebration will run through Dec. 31. 

Also in celebration of the 100th aniversary, Mickey and Minnie will don special platinum attire at their meet-and-greets in the Imagination pavilion. And each night, the park's icon, Spaceship Earth, will light up with a colorful display while the Disney100 anthem plays.
