World Nature

World Nature is one of the four neighborhoods EPCOT. This area is dedicated to celebrating the natural world, with attractions and experiences that emphasize environmental awareness. Attractions include The Seas with Nemo & Friends, where guests can explore ocean life through a large aquarium and a gentle ride featuring characters from Finding Nemo and Living with the Land, a boat ride that showcases agricultural innovations in a working greenhouse.

A more recent addition is Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. The walkthrough attraction is designed to educate visitors about the water cycle and its critical role in supporting life on Earth, with inspiration from the movie Moana. The area not only provides entertainment and education through its attractions but also serves as a hub for EPCOT’s conservation efforts, emphasizing sustainable practices and the integration of ecosystems into daily life.
