Howdy, Corie! Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Hooray! You will be enjoying all the splendor and magic of the Disneyland Resort in just a few short days!
Meeting characters is one of my daughter’s favorite activities and Moana was by far one of the best character interactions we’ve experienced. Moana was meeting quite regularly by Tarzan’s Treehouse in Disneyland Park, but I haven’t seen her scheduled on the
Disneyland app lately. She must have been called away to another adventure! I’m not sure when she’ll make her way back, but check the app when you are in the parks to see if she is scheduled to greet Guests. You can also ask a Cast Member wearing an “Ask Me About Characters” button if they know when Moana is available.
If you aren’t able to meet Moana this time around, there are plenty of other unique characters to meet in both parks during this time of year. Vampirina from Disney Jr. is meeting Guests in Disney California Adventure Park and Jack Skellington and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas can be found in New Orleans Square in Disneyland Park. You might also bump into more villains than usual like The Queen, Queen of Hearts, Captain Hook, and Cruella De Vil.
I hope your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is full of magic and memories!
