Aloha, Nicole!
"I know a girl from an island...she stands apart from the crowd...she loves the sea and her people...she makes the whole family proud." My family LOVED
Moana! When I visited Walt Disney World Resort recently (the first week of January), I had my fingers crossed she'd be meeting and taking photos with guests.
I was excited to discover a special Character Greeting area had been designed for Moana inside of the
Walt Disney: One Man's Dream exhibit at
Disney's Hollywood Studios. After a short wait, our group was ushered into an island paradise where we were able to meet Disney's newest ocean-loving hero. She was so cute and bubbly, and eager to tell us about her adventures on and off the island!
While there's no official word how long Moana will be greeting guests, I'm hoping she will be around for a while. I hope your family is able to "sea" her during your upcoming vacation! For an abundance of Moana-themed merchandise, make sure to stop by
Moana Mercantile located on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.
Thank you for stopping by with your question! Wishing you a most magical vacation and memories to last a lifetime. - Diane W.
