Live-Action Moana Star Tries (and Fails) the ‘Try Not to React’ Challenge on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Sailing across the ocean may be second nature for Disney’s new Moana, but keeping a straight face on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train? That’s another story.

Catherine Laga’aia, who stars as Moana in Disney’s live-action remake, recently visited Magic Kingdom to take on one of Disney Parks’ newest challenges: riding Seven Dwarfs Mine Train without reacting. Spoiler alert… she didn’t make it very far before bursting into laughter.
Before the train even left the station, Laga’aia confidently predicted she’d do “really, really well.” That confidence lasted only moments. As the coaster began winding through the mountain, she quickly started laughing, smiling, and reacting to every twist and turn. After one calmer section, she jokingly declared it was “light work,” only to lose her composure again as the ride picked up speed.
The attraction’s glittering diamond mine proved just as distracting as the drops. Laga’aia couldn’t help but admire the glowing gems and Audio-Animatronics, calling the scene “so cute” and “the coolest thing ever.” She even joined the Seven Dwarfs in singing “It’s Off to Work We Go” before the train raced back outside.
By the end of the ride, despite plenty of laughs, cheers, and raised hands, Laga’aia proudly declared that she had done “phenomenal.” We’d have to agree… even if she technically lost the challenge almost immediately.

The appearance comes just days after the live-action Moana debuted in theaters on July 10. Laga’aia stars alongside Dwayne Johnson, who returns as Maui in the reimagined adventure.
