A real-life Moana adventure: Our family trip to Fiji followed in the footsteps of Disney star

Paradise found: Fiji’s Malolo Island - (Getty)

It’s a long way to Fiji from London. Not one, but two 11-hour flights with a stopover in LA. But perhaps for Moana fans (and there are a lot of them – it’s one of the most streamed films of the last five years), that just adds to the allure. The distance feels like we’re stepping into another realm, one only seen before on screen, and going via Disney’s Hollywood home feels apt.

It’s the icing on the cake for my 10-year-old daughter, who is joining me in Fiji and can’t wait to see Moana 2, which last month broke the Thanksgiving box office opening records.
