Yesterday my daughter Sylvia met her favourite Disney character Moana at Disneyland Paris. we absolutely love Moana. In french they call her Vaiana.
Moana has a meet and greet in Walt Disney Studios. To meet with Moana you generally have to queue for a good two hours.
It’s quite a wait. Due to me using a wheelchair, we were able to use my green pass which meant booking a time slot and returning at that time.
If you want to meet Moana whether in the general queue or the disabled queue, it will take some time and you need to get there well before the opening time. We waited a long time just to get our slot but the wait was worth it for Sylvia.
Sylvia is part Polynesian just like Moana and so this Disney character is one she really does identify with. It was a wonderful experience for my daughter to meet Moana or Vaiana whatever you choose to call her and we got some awesome photos for the memories.
Moana was fun, she asked Sylvia what her favourite part of the movie was. She also had some great pose suggestions to help create fun pictures. It was a boiling hot day and we stood in the sun for some time. I ended up getting a little sunburnt.
If you go to Disneyland in the summer, makes sure to use extra strong sunscreen. Meeting Moana had to be the highlight of our day yesterday and something both my daughter and I loved.
It was truly a wonderful experience. Have you met Moana at the Disneyland Paris Moana meet and greet?

Wow your daughter is so beautiful! If they will ever make a movie of the cartoon I bet your daughter would fit to play the role!
This is a an incredible memory for your daughter!
i bet she would!
Aww! How exciting and wonderful for Sylvia…..This really made me smile!
glad it did. we had a good time!
What a truly magnificent experience I am sure your daughter will remember this for the longest time.
Aww she really does look like a little Moana! What a lovely sounding time you had at Disneyland!
My niece would absolutely love this! She’s 2 and is obsessed with Moana. She watches it over and over, literally 3 times a day and is always singing you’re welcome!
I bet! We love singing the songs!
It’s great that your daughter got to meet her favorite Disney character. I had no idea though that the queues were so long! Maybe it’s because it’s summer? Do you think in winter Disneyland Paris will be less crowded?
It was awesome. To be honest I have been here in winter and summer and i prefer winter but the queues were bigger in winter!
Sylvia’s costume is fantastic! I’ve not been to any Disney parks since I was young, but I will be taking my boys there when they get a little older. They love Moana and will be dressing up as Tamatoa and Maui for Halloween this year.
Oh it was our second time ever and an amazing day!
This looks so fun! I don’t have kids but if I had them, I’d put this on my list straight away. Thanks for this post!
Oh it would be..but Disney is also fun for adults too! 😉
So fun! It’s always awesome when kids get to meet their heroes! It looks like y’all had a phenomenal day!
We sure did!
I think she could take over the job! She looks amazing in that Moana costume!!! Must have been so fun.
She sure should!
I can just imagine her excitement. What a brilliant day you must have had. We’re ready there in December for the first time with our son and I can’t wait!
oh she was amazingly excited!
I haven’t been to Disneyland in ages. I liked Moana but not as much as Rapunzel or Brave. Sounds like your daughter had great fun!
We like Moana heaps… we can identify with her!
OMG your daughter looks like a mini Moana! I love her outfit, it’s just like the one of the Disney character. I’m so glad that she can identify so well with a Disney character, I think it’s not always very easy for young girl to relate to them, they just like princesses, but I think it’s important that young girls can truly identify with the character they see on screen and draw inspiration from them.
She is a lovely moana!
Ahh what wonderful photos and it looks as if she had a fabulous time – she really is the spit of Moana! xxx
Thanks
Awesome experience for your daughter! I am sure she will talk about it for weeks or months. I am happy for her!
She will remember this for life!
Omg! Moana! I love her! Your daughter seems to have had a blast! And queuing for 2 hours isn’t so bad for the chance to meet such a Hero!
SHe is awesome!
Awww how lovely. No we haven’t. Plan to take the kids over when they are a bit older.
Yes it is nice for older kids!
Very cute! I just learned about Moana recently. Had to do some baby sitting, and got stuck watching it over and over.
Oh how fun…that’s how i discovered a few movies when i was young babysitting!
This is so cool! Yes, we met Moana at Disney World and she was fantastic. My daughter told her she wished Hei Hei were around.
Moana is awesome!
Aw yay that you got to meet Moanna and pleased that Sylvia got to meet her favourite character! I hope you are having a good time xx
It was amazing Ana! You would have loved it!
Awww!! I love Moanna too :). So nice that you got these great pictures with her. I have the song of the film stuck in my head now haha
We love the Moana song too! My daughter sings it a lot!
I’ve never been to Disney although I think my Husband liked it when he went as a kid! That’s great your daughter got to meet her favorite character! I love Moana’s adventurous spirit!
oh it has been wonderful Ellie Chan!
That looks like such a fun meet and greet. I know that my daughter would love that. Unfortunately I didn’t see her when we were at Disneyland but I know that my daughter would love.
It is a limited time meet and greet so I’m glad we went when we did.
Oh my, they should cast your daughter for this! She looks more like Moana than the actual lady in the picture. She wouldn’t even need the wig either she got such stunning hair! Bless her, she’s so pretty. =D
thanks. maybe she can do it in the future… if she learns french. they have to speak both languages i think.
Aww what a magical experience for her, the photos are fantastic
We had a great time.
It’s great to see that you took your daughter to see Moana who is really an inspiration to all girls to push for their dreams.
Meet and greet events are fantastic. I bet Sylvia will remember it forever.

I love the fact that your daughter dressed like her favorite character. The photos are amazing, she just made some great memories.
Yes it was awesome.
So fun! We met Moana at Disney World in Orlando. We live in Florida and my daughter’s dream is to go to Disneyland Paris for her 15th Birthday, she’s 12 now and she’s been talking about this for a couple of years now. She even has a list of all the characters that she wants to meet and that can only be found at Disneyland Paris!
oh how awesome. Paris is amazing!
My daughter loves Moana, so I really hope we get the chance to meet her in January! So exciting!
Awesome!
Wow! What an incredible experience for your daughter, she must be thrilled.
It was truly amazing!
That is so sweet. Your daughter must’ve been so thrilled to see her favourite character right in front of her. I love the way she has dressed up just like Moana, to meet her. Cheers!!
oh she was.
Your daughter is so gorgeous! I love her Moana costume, it must have been such a special moment for here, despite the wait. 🙂
Thanks. It was a special moment.
She is lucky to meet her favourite character in Disneyland. I have to say that I do not even know who Moana is 🙂
ha ha! You will have to go watch the movie now!
This reminds me to finally download the movie and watch it. Perfect for a lazy Saturday night. You can see it was a wonderful experience by the way your daughter hugs Moana. ♥ Kisses
You will love it!
What a precious moment for her and it’s such a bonding experience for you both. My daughter would love this so much!
Awesome.I bet she would. It is wonderful for any little girl or boy!
Oh I missed Moana during my visit to Disneyland – Paris. Your girl so beautiful in this outfit and look so cute.
