Merchandise Report Late Fall 2023: Moana Mercantile at Disney’s Polynesian

We visited Moana Mercantile at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in late 2023 to check out merchandise offerings. This post features photos of resort-themed items, seasonal collections, and other unique finds available at the time of our visit. We’ve also shared photos of sundries and other items a little further down that rarely change. Those images will make you aware of what will be available at the resort during your stay.

Please note that merchandise in Disney resort gift shops changes frequently. For current information about staple items and shop details, visit our updated page: Moana Mercantile Gift Shop Guide.

Moana Mercantile is one of two gift shops at the Polynesian. It’s located on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. For reference, the Great Ceremonial House is the resort’s lobby. This gift shop is not to be confused with Boutiki, located on the lobby’s first floor. That shop carries resort-branded merchandise along with men’s and women’s apparel. Nearly all of the items in Moana Mercantile are geared toward children. One corner is dedicated primarily to children’s clothing. However, they did have a few adult sizes in the mix on this visit.

Moana Mercantile typically carries a fair amount of Lilo and Stitch merchandise and Moana merchandise. So, if you’re looking for something from either animated film, you’ll have an excellent reason to visit the Polynesian.

Here are some of the Stitch items.

Additionally, the shop has a wealth of children’s apparel.

Those character hats are sweet.

Moana Mercantile has an excellent selection of board games and puzzles.

Below, we have a few figurines and bath toy sets. The bath toy sets make for a lovely gift, and I often see children playing with them at the pool.

Several princess-style dolls, Animator’s Classic sets, and bubble wands were available.

Here are a few pieces of Moana merchandise.

I remember when Moana came out. You couldn’t find anything at Disney World that represented the movie for a long time. Cast members would tell us to check the Moana store over at the Polynesian. Every time they got new items, they sold out within hours. Thankfully, now you can find plenty of Moana merchandise at not only Moana Mercantile but also the rest of Walt Disney World. Here are a few Disney toy transportation sets.

Beach towels were in stock.

Like all the resort gift shops at Disney World, you can always find items representing your vacation year.

Here are a few Minnie Ears.

If I could guess, the Polynesian sells a ton of goggles. I feel like it’s the one thing parents don’t think to pack. At one time, we had a basket of home with 12 pairs! So maybe this will help remind you to throw a pair of goggles in your suitcase.

Moana Mercantile is an excellent place to pick up a journal, pen, or character autograph book.

You’ll find the resort’s sundries shop on the opposite side of Moana Mercantile.

Inside, you’ll find a selection of snacks and things to take back to your room.

The refrigerated case had various sodas, juice, milk, beer, wine, and sports drinks.

Since the Polynesian has a separate villa resort, you’ll find a few items you can prepare in a unit with a kitchen. There were waffles, frozen pizza, dinners, ice cream, and more.

Here, we have butter, cheese, hot dogs, Lunchables, eggs, bacon, various kinds of milk, and yogurt.

Several flavors of ice cream, frozen novelties, and Mickey-shaped bars were available.

Here is the selection of wine and a few other items.

A cabinet with various liquors sits behind the register.

Along the back wall, you’ll find an area with over-the-counter medicine, diapers, personal care, and similar sundries.

Here are a few other treats.

The shop’s back corner has chips, dip, pancake mix, soup, cereal, and condiments.

An abundance of Disney-branded candy lined the shelves.

Or you could always get a giant lollipop!

Overall, Moana Mercantile has a great variety of items. Hopefully, you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for between the two gift shops at the Polynesian. For more information, see our guide to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Or you might enjoy one of these articles:
