Just like the Disney classics that we all know and love, Ocean City, Maryland is a magical place. We thought it only fitting to think about which Disney characters best represent our beach town! We used Instagram to get your input, and the responses did not disappoint. Here are some of our favorites!

“Moana!!!”

Moana x Playa Bowls

First up and most frequently suggested was of course Moana. After all, she lives at the beach! As someone who always hears the ocean calling and must answer, she’s the perfect representation of Ocean City. She’s brave, joyful, and completely at home on the water.

“Heihei”

Heihei x Ocho Rios

We couldn’t have Moana without Heihei! Heihei is the rooster who accidentally ends up on the boat with Moana. He’s the comic relief that becomes essential to the journey, and a trip to OC wouldn’t be complete without him! Heihei energy leaves you looking back on your trip with a giant smile.

“Genie. He grants wishes.”

The Genie x Trapped Escape Rooms

Like the Genie, Ocean City grants wishes. You wished for a perfect sunset? Done. You wished for the best crab cake of your entire life? Granted. You wished for the most wonderful day on the water? Ocean City makes it happen. Every summer, OC opens its arms like the Genie coming out of a lamp and says: what do you need? Fun? Rest? Seafood? The ocean? Your wish is OCMD's command!

“Ariel - The Little Mermaid!”

Ariel x Coconuts

If Ariel were to step out of the ocean onto the beaches of Ocean City, she’d be full of excitement and wonder. She’d walk along the beach collecting shells and trinkets, rent a bike to test out her new legs, and maybe even go parasailing to see Ocean City from above. She’s the perfect representation of the town because she’d take advantage of everything there is to see and do!

“Happy because how can you not be happy in OCMD?”

Happy x The Kite Loft

How can you not be happy in OCMD? As soon as you reach the boardwalk, smell the ocean, hear the waves, and see the horizon stretching out, whatever was bothering you before you arrived just dissolves. Happy doesn't need a reason to smile because joy is his natural state of being! That’s Ocean City.

“Lilo because she’s calm, cool, and collected just like OC.”

Back to Top of List
Lilo x Malibu's Surf Shop

Lilo does things her way: she feeds the fish, enjoys adventure, and lives in total harmony with her island and her beach. Ocean City knows exactly what it is and has zero interest in being anything else, just like Lilo! We know she’d fit right in, barefoot on the sand, camera around her neck, just soaking up the sun.

“Pluto, because he is a sunshine color and so happy.”

Pluto x Alley Oops

Pluto is sunshine yellow and pure, tail-wagging, full-body happy, and that’s OC! Ocean City’s sand, late afternoon light, and warmth are all golden and sunshiny just like everyone’s favorite Disney dog. You can’t visit and leave without smiling!
