The rocks in this circle are now more brown than grey. This reflects the model we saw sitting on scaffolding.

A building in the background is also under construction.

Rockwork is coming together in the center. A yellow square hangs from scaffolding in front of an area where we saw crew members working on a Te Fiti spiral.

Walt Disney Imagineering shared design details about Journey of Water a few weeks ago and we learned at D23 that the attraction will have a 16-foot-tall Te Fiti statue. The attraction is set to open in late 2023.
