Celebrate Moana at the Disney Parks and Resorts for World Princess Week

Today, we celebrate one of Disney’s most adventurous princesses, Moana. Moana is a curious and driven princess who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself as a master wayfinder. Though she has moments of self-doubt, she doesn’t back down from new challenges and discovers that when you sail beyond your reef with courage, you can cross any ocean. Check out all the ways you can celebrate this sea-loving, strong-willed and courageous princess below!

Aulani: Character Greeting

Meet Moana at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa! Disney’s Moana is an adventurous teen who teamed up with the demigod Maui on a daring voyage across the Pacific. Be on the lookout for Moana as you enjoy your own exciting adventure with your family at Aulani Resort. Aulani Resort is a vacation paradise in Hawaii with a touch of Disney Magic, which is why so many Disney friends love spending time here!

Moana Swim Makeover

Parents can help their child or “keiki” get ready to start their own epic adventure at Painted Sky: HI Style Studio at Aulani Resort including the Moana Swim Makeover. In this luxurious studio, boys and girls ages 3-12 can choose from a variety of magical makeover packages, which include hairstyling, makeup, costumes and accessories –all infused with hints of Hawaii and a playful sense of Disney fun. Your keiki can transform into a mermaid, dress for an adventure across O’ahu or even style in the fashion of their favorite wayfinding adventurer Moana of Motonui.

Painted Sky: HI Style Studio is in the Wai’anae Tower, just outside of Laniwai Spa. This relaxed-yet-sophisticated luxurious studio embraces the Hawaiian connection to nature and explores the cultural significance of the rainbows that so frequently grace the Hawaiian skyline. There is even a rainbow inside the studio through a special touch of magic, and guests listening closely as they enter the studio may hear the lovely sound of an ‘ukulele strumming a familiar Disney tune.
