Aloha, Janine!
Moana is such a free-spirit that she took another voyage around the islands with her friends. This means we're really not sure when she'll make her return back to Walt Disney World® Resort - though hopefully it will be soon. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for information on when she may sail back in. This is your source for navigating all the new and exciting things coming to Walt Disney World®.
When visiting the Great Ceremonial House (lobby) of Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, don't forget to take a journey upstairs to the 2nd floor gift shop,
Moana Mercantile - this shop is full of Moana-inspired merchandise!
You are also visiting during my favorite time of the year! The holiday season at Walt Disney World® Resort is magical and full of fun surprises; one of them is the special character greeting held in the evenings at most of our resort hotels. Be sure to ask a Cast Member when you check-in where to find your resort's location.
And for your princess's other favorite characters, you can locate them with the My Disney Experience App from your smartphone! This is a great tool to have while vacationing. Not only can you check wait times, add or modify FastPass+ selections, but you can also locate all the available characters in each theme park.
I hope this helps as you continue planning, Janine! Please do not hesitate to stop by the Disney Parks Moms Panel for any additional questions you may have.
Mahalo!
