Celebrate the release of Moana 2 with a NEW Disney Park snack!

Moana 2 is already a big hit in theaters but its popularity hasn’t been limited to just the movie screen. Moana-mania has even made its way to the Disney Parks, with special character updates, movie-themed souvenirs, and even limited-time snacks. In fact, we headed over to Disney California Adventure to try the new Moana 2–themed hot dog!

The brand-new Wayfinder Dog is a limited-time Moana 2 hot dog that can be found at Disney California Adventure’s Award Weiners hot dog stand in Hollywood Land. This seasonal offering is available now through January 7th, 2025.

The hot dog is made with sweet and spicy pulled pork with fiery tropical chutney on a toasted bun. It’s a monster of a hot dog and the kind you’d be forgiven for eating with a fork and knife.

The Wayfinder Dog is served with your choice of Cuties Mandarin Oranges or Filmstrip Fries and we opted for the fries in our review.

You can purchase this hot dog at the Award Wieners window or via mobile order on the Disneyland app and it will set you back a whopping $15.79.

So is this nearly $16 snack worth its high asking price? We were SHOCKED by the answer!

The Wayfinder Dog is pretty scary on first look. This thing is messy and huge, which isn’t always a great combination for a handheld snack like hot dogs. However, we’re happy to say that the Wayfinder Dog was surprisingly very good! The heat levels were consistently spicy but never too hot. This bad boy has a consistent kick that never lets up, but if you can handle moderate heat you might be able to handle this hot dog.

We got TONS of tropical island flavors in every bite and felt the hot dog had a fantastically balanced sweet and savory flavor profile.  The chutney was deliciously sweet with a nice little kick and the hot dog was cooked nicely, as well.

The pulled pork is the star here and is generously coated in sauce. Packed with flavor, including a hint of barbecue, the meat was very juicy and seasoned well to amplify everything you’re tasting. The added pineapple was also such a great touch! It provided a nice citrusy/tropical flavor that complimented the rest of the hot dog wonderfully.

The fries were also super solid. They’re standard Award Wieners Filmstrip Fries that are thick, plentiful, and reliably tasty.

There are some small problems with this dish, however. The bread the hot dog came in wasn’t as crispy as we would’ve liked and it got soggy fast. It does soak up the flavors well, but that also compromises its structural integrity. It’s also topped with pork rinds that didn’t really add anything to the hot dog.

The price is also hard to swallow. Without a Magic Key discount, the regular hot dog price of $15.79 for a hot dog and some fries or mandarin oranges is still steep.

With all that said, we still think this is a very good hot dog and worth a try! The Wayfinder Dog is expensive, but it is super hearty and filling while offering some really great tropical flavors for anyone who can handle a little heat!

The Wayfinder Dog joins several other special Moana 2 limited-time snacks coming to the Disneyland Resort this holiday season! Staying in Disney California Adventure, Schmoozies! is offering a Tropical Slushy made with pineapple, orange juice, grenadine, and coconut milk slushy topped with whipped cream and shredded coconut.

Meanwhile, Studio Catering Co. and Hollywood Lounge are offering a new Boat Snacks Burrito. This dish comes with Kālua-style Pork with spiced ham and egg fried rice, spicy cabbage slaw, and charred pineapple served with Hawaiian mac salad.

Hopping over to Disneyland Park, River Belle Terrace is serving Coconut-Macadamia Pancakes made with short stack pancakes with coconut cream, toasted macadamia nuts, and tropical fruit.
