Moana Movie Night
This post may contain affiliate links.
I’m not sure who liked this Moana Movie Night more, my kids or me. It really made me smile watching them eat the cookies and non-alcoholic pina Coladas. You might be in trouble if you make this because your kids might not let you stop!
Whether you are looking for a fun movie night idea, or a fun way to prep your kids for your next Disney Trip, making a fun movie night is definitely the way to go! (Check out how I prepped my kids for Disney World using my Movie Nights HERE)

Moana Movie Night Menu
Pua's Ham and Pineapple Sliders | Moana Movie Night Dinner
This recipe was remade on a favorite slider of mine. The addition of the pineapple with the ham slider was PERFECT for my girls. They couldn’t eat enough of them! Here is how to make them:
- one 12-count package Hawaiian sweet rolls, sliced in half (see directions for more details)
- 1 pound cooked deli ham, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
- Can of pineapple slices
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 2 teaspoons Worcesteshire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- Using a large serrated knife, slice the rolls in half so you have a ‘slab’ of tops and a ‘slab’ of bottoms; don’t pull the rolls apart and slice individually because you want to keep them connected.
- Place the bottom ‘slab’ of rolls in the prepared pan.
- Place 1/4 to 1/2 slice of cheese on the top of the roll.
- Layer a whole piece of ham on top of the cheese
- Optional step: repeat the cheese and ham layer for a thicker sandwich.
- Add the top ‘slab’ of rolls; set aside.
- To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.
- Add the mustard, poppy seeds, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and whisk to combine.
- Evenly and slowly pour the butter mixture over the rolls. Use a spatula to spread the mixture over the tops. Some of the mixture will pool at the base of the rolls.
- Cover with aluminum foil and allow rolls to stand at room temp for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Bake covered for about 20 minutes or until cheese has melted.
- Uncover and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until as done as desired. Baking time will vary based on the size of pan used, climate and oven variances, etc. Bake until as done as desired; watch to make sure they don’t burn since all ovens and ingredients vary.
- Slice into individual sliders and serve.
- Sliders are best warm and fresh

Heart of Tifiti Cookies | Moana Movie Night Dessert

- 2 eggs
- 2 sticks of butter
- Teal Food Dye
- Green Food Dye
- Preheat Oven to 350.

- Once the sugar cookie mix is mixed, add in 6 drops of the teal dye and fold the cookie dough until the dough is colored teal.
- Repeat step 1 with second bag of mix.
- Once the sugar cookie mix is mixed, add in 6 drops of the green dye and fold the cookie dough until the dough is colored green.

- Place the Green layer down on a flat surface. Place the Teal colored dough directly on top of the green dough.
- Roll the dough tightly long ways, to create a swirl.
- You should have a roll. Start at one end and start slicing with a knife, creating individual cookies. Cookies should be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place cookies on a baking sheet, 9 cookies fit well on one sheet.
- Bake Cookies at 350 for 8 minutes each.
