Hi Maggie!
Thank you for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
While I confess that with two teenage boys, it took me a couple of months before I saw the movie,
Moana, I was so impressed! What an amazing movie and what a wonderful character and role model she is to young girls.
Though I don't have access to any definite information, I am confident that Moana will be making an appearance to greet her fans at Walt Disney World sometime in 2018. She has made a few stops by the parks in the past, but is out on more adventures at this time. If you will have disappointed daughters, I love how fellow panelist,
Lauren, worded a response to a similar question about Moana. Her wording may be a great way to explain to your little adventurers as to why they may not see Moana on this particular trip.
Things do change quickly at Walt Disney World, so keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog is a good idea, as well as checking back on the
Walt Disney World website for character experiences.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
