Dwayne Johnson says becoming an official Disney Legend came with one very important perk — at least, according to the story he told his daughters.
Per People, the Moana star was honored as a Disney Legend during the 2026 Disney Legends Awards in Anaheim, Calif., on Aug. 16. During the event, Johnson revealed that his daughters, Jasmine, 10, and Tiana, 8, were thrilled about the milestone, but also had one big question.
“They said, ‘Congratulations, Daddy, you’re a Disney Legend. What does it mean?'” Johnson recalled.
His response?
“It means we get free tickets to Disney for life,” he joked.

Johnson said his younger daughters even sent him a heartfelt congratulatory video the night before the ceremony, making the honor even more meaningful.
“It’s been a great year for my little girls,” he said, noting that both Jasmine and Tiana also made brief cameos in the live-action Moana film after previously appearing in Moana 2.
The Disney honor recognized Johnson’s contributions to the company’s storytelling legacy, including his beloved role as the voice of Maui in the Moana franchise. He is also set to return as the demigod in the upcoming Moana 3.

Reflecting on the recognition, Johnson said the title means far more than awards or accolades.
“I believe it’s powerful what Disney does,” he said. “What it means, in my opinion, to be a Disney Legend is to treat people good and treat them with kindness and try your best to create experiences for them that are meaningful for them and their families all over the world.”
During his acceptance speech, Johnson also shared a touching memory of taking his eldest daughter, Simone, to Disneyland when she was 5 years old. He recalled watching her close her eyes to make a wish while meeting the Disney princesses. He said the moment has stayed with him ever since.
“It’s just experiences like that that we create that I know she’ll never forget,” Johnson said. “I’ll never forget. That’s the beauty of Disney.”
