Remember me … Plaza de la Familia is returning to Disney California Adventure Park Aug. 23 through Nov. 2, 2024! Grab your familia and come together in a celebration inspired by the traditions of Día de los Muertos. Celebrate with festive décor, music, and of course food. There are even select offerings inspired by Pixar Animation Studios’ award-winning film, “Coco”!
Paradise Garden Grill will be serving savory and sweet bites for your taste buds to enjoy, drawing inspiration from Pixar’s “Coco” and the cultures that celebrate Día de los Muertos. From Al Pastor Tacos to Street-style Watermelon, you’re not going to want to miss the festivities.
After you have finished tasting, treat yourself by designing your own paper alebrije, or spirit guide, mask of Pepita or Dante, the loyal companions of Miguel’s family. You might even get the chance to meet Miguel himself! And don’t forget to leave a message to a loved one on the Memory Wall at the “Mexican Árbol de la Vida,” which means Tree of Life.
I’m going un poco loco waiting for the food! What do you say we get to the delicious bites that will be featured during Plaza de la Familia this year?
