Disney has just unveiled a brand-new restaurant concept that has us wanting to build our own boat and head straight there. A favorite Disney Princess is finally getting her time to shine, and we’re here for it.

A new Moana-inspired restaurant is set to open at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort on September 12th. Eek!

From the concept art, it looks like it will be a quick-service style since we can see guests holding trays. We can also see Moana, Hei Hei, and Pua. There’s also a bunch of Kakamora!

In the artwork, kids are also holding small versions of Moana’s boat. Maybe it comes with a kids’ meal? Either way, I’ll need it. There are tons of tropical elements, including surfboards, flowers, and the entire building resembles one directly from her village.

This announcement came during Destination D23, along with tons of other announcements like new popcorn buckets and sippers coming to Disney Parks…

We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend Destination D23. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.
