Plaza de la Familia is making a grand return to Disney California Adventure Park from August 23 through November 2, 2024! This celebration, inspired by the vibrant traditions of Día de los Muertos, is a feast for the senses that you and your familia won’t want to miss. Get ready for festive décor, lively music, and, most importantly, mouthwatering food that will transport you straight to the heart of Mexico.
Paradise Garden Grill is serving up a storm with savory and sweet delights inspired by Pixar’s award-winning film, “Coco,” and the rich culinary traditions of Día de los Muertos. From the succulent Al Pastor Tacos to the refreshing Street-style Watermelon, every bite is a celebration of flavor.
After indulging in these delicious offerings, let your creativity flow by designing your own paper alebrije, or spirit guide, mask of Pepita or Dante, Miguel’s loyal companions. You might even get the chance to meet Miguel himself! Don’t forget to leave a heartfelt message to a loved one on the Memory Wall at the “Mexican Árbol de la Vida,” or Tree of Life.
