Make Way For Moana Meet-and-Greet at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Do you know what happened 25 years ago? Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened! Not only is today a momentous occasion but, it’s made even more memorable due to a brand new meet-and-greet now available at the park – MOANA
Our MickeyBloggers arrived bright and early this morning to meet the Polynesian Princess and our interaction with Moana was nothing short of magical!
Meet Moana in Animal Kingdom!
Moana will now be meeting guests at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on a regular. You can find her at Discovery Island as you are walking towards Dinoland USA!
You can see Moana striking a pose here with our very own Elyssa!
You can meet Moana throughout the day at Character Landing in Animal Kingdom. Today’s times are as follows:
- 9:15 AM
- 10:00 AM
- 10:45 AM
- 11:30 AM
- 12:15 PM
- 1:00 PM
- 2:20 PM
- 3:05 PM
- 3:50 PM
The schedule means she will typically be able to meet with guests throughout the day with 20-minute breaks in between.
This is sure to be one of the most popular meet-and-greets at Walt Disney World!
Since the film came out, Moana has appeared periodically at the parks including a stint at Magic Kingdom and appearances at Aulani in Hawaii.
We are so glad she’s taken up permanent residence at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Below are a few videos we took of Moana in action!
Moana was absolutely the sweetest!
As you can see she really took her time to interact with all of the guests and pose for photos.
There was a lot of love going around this morning!
We also managed to grab some solo shots of the star!
As you can see the Character Landing meet and greet location has been given some wonderful Polynesian touches.
At the back is a sail reminiscent of her boat journey with Maui!
Beautiful tropical garlands are also wrapped around the pillars!
You can even see a depiction of Moana’s rooster companion Hei Hei in the background!
A meeting with Moana should definitely be on your Disney to-do list!
The Polynesian Resort has recently had a refurbishment with Moana touches added to each of their guest rooms.
That means you could plan an entire Moana-themed getaway!
