It's litterally impossible for Moana to be "a huge success" and at the same time "be part of the DP franchise". I know someone who works for the DP merchandise, he said that Disney didn't add Anna and Elsa into the franchise because their film is TOO successful. Disney gets money from both the DP  merchandise  AND the Frozen  merchandise, but if Frozen got added, they  would have lost money because people would only buy the DP  merchandise that includes all the princesses+ Anna & Elsa.

See? People buying the DP AND Frozen  merchandise= More money.

Same thing with Moana, if it's a modest success, she'll be an official one then. But if her film gets too popular and successful and probably makes a billion, she'll have her own franchise just like Frozen. Remember when Disney said the sisters would be added in fall 2014? They didn't expect the Frozen fever to last that long, that's why they changed their mind.
