Moana Mercantile opened on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, taking over the former Trader Jack's space; the name 'moana' is the Polynesian word for ocean and predates the 2016 film.
Trader Jack's, the resort's long-running tiki-themed gift shop, closed during the Polynesian Village Resort's 2014-2015 refurbishment and its space became Moana Mercantile.
The retail space originally opened with the resort in October 1971 as Village Drugs and Sundries (selling floral arrangements and camera supplies), later becoming Trader Jack's before its 2014 conversion into Moana Mercantile.
That's every change on the record at Moana Mercantile since 1971.
