Moana World Premiere in Hollywood – #MoanaEvent

Disney invited 5 Minutes for Mom contributing blogger Dawn Cullo to Los Angeles, CA to attend the Moana World Premiere. Dawn’s expenses are paid for the trip but no other compensation was paid and all opinions are Dawn’s.

I attended the World Premiere of Disney’s Moana with 24 amazing bloggers from all over the United States.

Attending a World Premiere of any movie is exciting, but when it is a Disney movie it’s magical As I arrived on Hollywood Blvd I felt like I was transported to a Polynesian island; everyone in attendance was given a beautiful Leis to wear.

I had a fantastic time at the Moana Premiere and when I get the chance to go on these trips I feel like the luckiest blogger in the world. I am thankful to 5 Minute for Mom for giving me the opportunity to cover these events and to Disney for the invitation.

About Moana

Maui, voiced by Dwayne Johnson, is a demigod—half god, half mortal, all awesome. Charismatic and funny, he wields a magical fishhook that allows him to shapeshift into all kinds of animals and pull up islands from the sea.

During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder.

Moana and Maui

Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity.

MOANA arrives on shore everywhere November 23rd!
