Aloha Angela! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Thanks for stopping by with your question. I'd be happy to help.
Moana and Maui are currently wayfaring in the beautiful islands of the Pacific, so unfortunately, they will not be present at any character meals this March. In recent years, Moana has returned from her travels to greet guests at
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but we will have to stay tuned for more details on the parties this year to see if she will be able to make it. The special character experiences, exclusive parade, fireworks, and entertainment at this seasonal event are so much fun, and I have even planned fall weekend trips to Walt Disney World just so I could attend.
If you have a Moana fan in your family like I do, then be sure to keep your eyes on the
Disney Parks Blog for more information on the upcoming Moana-themed attraction that will debut at Epcot as part of the
park's historic transformation. Journey of Water, inspired by the film, will be located in the World Nature neighborhood in the re-imagined Future World. This lush, exploration trail will invite you to interact with magical, living water - just like Moana!
If you happen to be visiting Disney's Polynesian Resort, stop by
Moana Merchantile Souvenir Shop for plenty of merchandise inspired by the movie. My little girl wore an adorable Moana-inspired dress on a recent vacation, and it was the perfect summer look for the theme parks!
Angela, I hope you have a wonderful spring vacation. Even though you won't be able to catch Moana on this trip, consider planning a meal with other Disney royalty. My family had a fantastic time with Ariel, Rapunzel, and their princes at the
Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast at
Trattoria al Forno Restaurant. I hope that helps with your planning needs. If anything else comes up before your trip, please come back and see us again.
Wishing you a magical, memorable vacation!
Betsy
