We’ve known since last year that various Disney characters would be hiding in the rockwork of Journey of Water, Inspired by “Moana.” Now that we’ve been able to visit the new EPCOT attraction, we’ve cataloged every hidden character and object we could find.
SPOILER WARNING: Below is a list of Easter eggs without locations if you want to find them on your own. After that are photos and locations of each one.
If you just want a walkthrough of the attraction, check out our daytime walkthrough and our nighttime walkthrough.

List of Easter Eggs
According to Cast Members, Imagineers hid 18 Easter eggs. Here’s what we found:
- Moana
- Baby Moana
- Hei Hei
- Pua
- Kakamora
- Maui’s tattoo
- Maui’s hook
- Boat
- Moana’s boat
- Baby sea turtle
- Adult sea turtle
- Te Fiti
- Te Fiti’s heart
- Tamatoa
- Moana’s seashell
- Grandma Tala

- Starfish
The swirl of Te Fiti’s heart is at the front of the attraction (pictured above) but we’re not counting that. There’s a different version of her heart hidden elsewhere.
We also found a hidden Mickey — but it’s not carved into the rocks.
