"Moana 2" became Disney's third $1 billion box office smash of 2024. Set a few years on from her maiden voyage, "Moana 2" saw the now-seasoned wayfinder reuniting with Maui to embark on a new quest in search of a mythical lost island..

While her second adventure had a slightly rocky journey to the big screen — the sequel was originally meant to be a Disney Plus TV series before being reworked into a movie — the finished project proved a big hit. It set a new Thanksgiving box office record and went on to become the third-biggest movie of the year.

If you're yet to set sail on this latest adventure, you can soon watch it from the comfort of your own home, as we've got a confirmed "Moana 2" streaming date. Read on to find out when you can stream "Moana 2" on Disney Plus.

After its impressive box office run, "Moana 2" came to Premium Video-on-Demand services such as Amazon at the end of January.

As of our latest update, though, the wait for a confirmed Disney Plus release date is finally over. On Feb. 25, Disney confirmed that "Moana 2" starts streaming on Disney Plus on Wednesday, March 12.

That's more or less in line with our prediction, which was based on the length of time we had to wait for Disney's other major hits to come to the House of Mouse's streaming service.

In my opinion, the best example to work with would likely be "Inside Out 2", another Disney sequel that made the House of Mouse a cool $1.6 billion at the box office over the summer. "Inside Out 2" arrived on Disney Plus on September 25, just over 100 days after it originally hit theaters.

"Moana 2" takes place three years on from the original Disney hit, and sees Moana (Auli'i Cravalho) receiving an unexpected call from her ancestors that draws her to the far seas of Oceania.

Alongside Maui (Dwayne Johnson) and a small crew of unlikely seafarers, Moana heads into long-lost waters for a grander (and more dangerous) adventure, one unlike anything she's faced before.

If it’s in the theaters or available to stream somewhere, he’s probably watched it… especially if it has a dragon in it. Before joining the team, he was a Staff Writer at What To Watch where he wrote about a broad range of shows that stretched from "Doctor Who" and "The Witcher" to "Bridgerton" and "Love Island". When he’s not watching the next must-see movie or show, he’s probably still in front of a screen playing massive RPGs, reading, spending a fortune on TCGs, or watching the NFL.
