During a recent trip to Costco, a pair of little girls in Hawaii were delighted a man they were sure was actually one of their favorite Disney characters.<\/p>\n

Rella Rivera of Oahu was approaching the cash registers at the store in\u00a0Kapolei with her daughters Ryley, eight, and Rylyn, five, when the girls suddenly shouted excitedly: ‘That\u2019s Maui!’<\/p>\n

Their sudden outburst was prompted by the sight of the worker manning the register, who the girls were positive was the Dwayne Johnson-voiced demigod from Disney Pixar’s Moana<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cashier\u00a0William Va\u2019ana does indeed bear a striking resemblance to the character, right down to his long hair and armfuls of tattoos.<\/p>\n

And it quickly became clear that this wasn’t the first time William has had the young ones worked up over his appearance, as he seemed happy to play along.<\/p>\n

Radio host Rella, 42, managed to whip out her phone in time to catch the girls’ excitement.<\/p>\n

‘Who’s that?’ she asked the bouncing girls, who emphatically responded with ‘that’s Maui!’<\/p>\n

The demigod lookalike even appeased the young girls, allowing them to pose alongside him at the register while he let out Maui\u2019s signature yell \u2014 you know just<\/em> the one we’re talking about. You can check out the video down below.<\/p>\n
