How much do Moana Experience tickets cost and how can I book?
This is a free Disney UK pop-up event, but it is ticketed, which means you need to sign-up for a free ticket. There was a queue to get tickets at 10am at the time of release today.
Is it worth getting tickets?
Yes, but only if you live in the South of England, near London. If you’re based in or near London on this date, and you’re a Moana fan, it’s worth trying to get a ticket or attempting a walk-up. The experience is in an iconic and popular location, with great views over the Thames into London. If it’s a sunny day, this will likely be a lovely experience.
Sadly, for Disney fans in the North of the UK, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland included this is yet another event that is not worth trying to get to unless you are local. Realistically the cost of getting down there will likely out weigh the value of the experience.
Will characters like Moana and Maui be there?
Yes, there will be photo opportunities with the ley Moana characters including Moana and Maui.
