Hello, Cami! Welcome back to planDisney!
I see you are soon embarking on a great voyage to the Walt Disney World Resort! Some of our planDisney pals are there right now, so I asked them to keep an eye out for everyone’s favorite demigod for you, but I’m afraid they haven’t seen him. Apparently, Maui is out exploring some other islands these days and hasn’t been able to shape-shift his way to Walt Disney World. Hopefully he’ll come by for a visit soon!
Cami, I do know that Moana has been appearing along with some of her other Disney friends in the daily
character cavalcades in the Magic Kingdom Park. Also, there is a preview of the coming Moana: Journey of Water attraction as part of
Walt Disney Imagineering Presents the EPCOT Experience in the Odyssey Events Pavilion near Test Track. Maui himself doesn’t appear in it, but you will hear Gramma Tala tell the tale of water and its importance in our lives, alongside some beautiful Moana themed graphics. It’s a short segment in a total presentation that runs on a loop of about 10 minutes or so.
I want to share one more thing with you, Cami. They’re not open just yet, but I thought you might like to see what the
refurbished rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will look like. I love all the new details that take their cues from Moana - including a hint of a certain demigod!
Bookings are currently available for stays after late July of this year, so maybe you can voyage back one day soon!
I’m sorry we couldn’t find Maui for you just now, but I do hope you’ll have a magical vacation with your little one. Please sail back and see us again if you have any more questions!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
