Hi Sandra,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for your question. I adore Moana for her determination, sense of adventure, and her connection to her family and people, and just like you, I can’t wait to meet her at Walt Disney World!
As of the time I’m writing this, Moana has answered the call inside her and is out wayfinding with her friend, the ocean. She has returned to land at Walt Disney World Resort in the past – in fact, I saw her meeting Guests in Magic Kingdom Park during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party – so I’m hoping she’ll be back soon. While you can’t meet her in person, my current favorite place to catch a glimpse of Moana is during the
Happily Ever After fireworks spectacular. The Moana scene in that show gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes every time.
Sandra, there are plenty of other brave and adventurous characters to meet in Florida’s Disney parks. Using the free
My Disney Experience app, choose “Characters” from the top menu to locate characters throughout Walt Disney World. You can also pick up Times Guides as you enter each park; these will tell you when and where you can meet your favorites.
Let’s “look to the future” and hope Moana “makes way” back to Walt Disney World soon!
Wishing you a magical vacation!
Robyn
