Hi there, Rosalyn! Welcome to planDisney!
Rosalyn, as soon as I saw your question, I knew I had to connect with you. We have A LOT in common. I, too, am a grandmother to a six-year-old granddaughter, and she, too, is a big fan of Moana. And as fellow grandmothers, we know that "every turn we take, every trail we track, every path we make, every road leads back" to making our little princess's dreams come true! There is
just no telling how far we'll go! I am happy to help you map out all the ways your granddaughter can see her friend, Moana! Let's start with your best navigation tool: the
My Disney Experience app. This app allows you to check the appearance times and locations of all your granddaughter's favorite characters. To check this, open your app and click the "Location" icon. At the top of the screen, scroll over to "Characters" and then select the "Show List" option in the bottom right corner. This will pull up the list of characters and how you can find them.
Now let's talk about all the ways your granddaughter can meet Moana. At
Animal Kingdom, you'll usually find our favorite wayfinder from Motunui greeting Guests at
Character Landing. At EPCOT, you can sometimes find Moana just outside the
Journey of Water attraction. And speaking of this new attraction, I know your granddaughter will LOVE this water playground. This is a must-do for any Moana fan!
If you plan to be at Magic Kingdom on a night when the new
Disney Starlight Parade is taking place, I'm excited to share that Moana and her adorable sidekick, Pua, will be waving to Guests from their own sparkling float. This parade is BEAUTIFUL, and I hope you'll get to experience this! Also, you can catch Moana performing her iconic song at Hollywood Studios during
Fantasmic! Rosalyn, I am beyond excited to know you'll be making the most
magical Christmastime memories with your granddaughter in The Most Magical Place on Earth. Like Moana's Gramma Tala, it sounds like you have a very special relationship with your sweet girl. If there is anything else we can help you with to create magical memories, please reach out and let us know. It's been my absolute pleasure to help you!
Have yourself a merry little Christmas!
