The Ultimate Accessory for a Wet Day at Disney
If you’ve spent any time at EPCOT lately, you know that Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is one of the most beautiful spots in the park. But as any Disney pro can tell you, interactive water features and expensive electronics don’t always play well together. That’s why the timing of the new Moana collection from ALOHA Collection couldn’t be better.
ALOHA Collection has officially launched its highly anticipated collaboration with Disney, featuring a massive lineup of bags and pouches inspired by the film. These aren’t just your standard canvas totes. Everything in this drop uses ALOHA’s signature Splash-Proof material. It’s a specially coated fabric that feels like paper but acts like armor against splashes and spills. Whether you’re getting soaked on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom or just trying to survive a classic Florida afternoon downpour, this gear is designed to keep your dry stuff dry.
Breaking Down the Prints: Lei vs. Ocean
The collection is split into two distinct styles, each bringing a different vibe to your park bag game. The Lei Collection is all about that lush, tropical flora. You’ll find vibrant floral prints featuring Moana, Pua, and Hei Hei tucked among the hibiscus and palm leaves. If you’re looking for something that screams “vacation mode,” this is the one.
The Ocean Collection takes a more symbolic approach. These prints focus on the wayfinding elements of the film. We’re seeing motifs like Moana’s boat, the heart of Te Fiti, and even Grandma Tala’s stingray spirit. The patterns like “Wayfinder” and “High Seas” use more muted, earthy tones that look sophisticated while still showing off your fandom.
Our Top Picks for the Parks
With prices ranging from $22 to $78, there’s a size for every need. Here are the items we think offer the most value for a day in the parks:
- Mini Hip Pack ($48): Perfect for hands-free travel. It’s big enough for your phone, a portable charger, and your Lightning Lane Multi Pass essentials.
- Day Tripper Tote ($78): This is the workhorse of the collection. It’s spacious enough for a family’s worth of rain ponchos and extra socks.
- Cutie Pouch ($22): These are small, coin-purse-sized bags. They’re great for holding AirPods or keeping your MagicBand+ charging cable from getting tangled.
- Mini Tripper ($60): A mid-sized tote that fits perfectly under the seat on rides at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Where to Score This Limited Gear
This is a limited-edition release, and ALOHA Collection has confirmed there are currently no plans for a restock once these items sell out. If you’re currently at Walt Disney World, head over to Disney Springs. You can find the collection at the ALOHA Collection store located in The Landing area. If you’re at home, the full line is available on the ALOHA Collection official website.
For those planning a trip, these bags pack completely flat, making them easy to toss into your suitcase without taking up any bulk. They’re also extremely lightweight, which your shoulders will thank you for after ten hours of walking through the World Showcase.
