Plaza de Coco: New Theatrical Dining Experience on the Disney Treasure

Hey Disney Cruisers! Let’s be real: Disney Cruise Line just leveled up the onboard dining game. Say hello to Plaza de Coco, the world’s first theatrical dining experience inspired by Pixar’s beloved film, Coco. Ready for an adventure filled with music, family, and mouthwatering flavors? Let’s dive into what makes this dining experience a must-see (and must-taste) on the Disney Treasure.

Step Into Santa Cecilia

Picture this: You’re in the heart of Mariachi Plaza, surrounded by vibrant colors, the sound of guitars, and the aroma of Mexican-inspired cuisine. This isn’t just dinner—it’s an immersive journey.

At Plaza de Coco, you’ll enjoy two distinct evenings of celebration that bring Miguel, Abuelita, Mamá Imelda, and Héctor to life. These live performances continue the Coco story right where the film left off. Think live music, heartfelt storytelling, and even a little magic, all served with a side of Disney charm.

What’s on the Menu?

Let’s talk food. The Plaza de Coco menu is packed with bold flavors that pay tribute to Mexican cuisine. Here’s a sneak peek:

• Abuelita Elena Shrimp Diabla – A spicy, savory dish perfect for seafood lovers.
• Luisa’s Pollo Asado – A perfectly roasted chicken dish that’s as comforting as a warm hug from Luisa herself.
• Mexican Chocolate Tart – Finish your evening with this decadent dessert that captures the richness of Mexican chocolate traditions.

And don’t forget the drinks! Themed cocktails and non-alcoholic options will complement the meal, making it an experience your taste buds won’t forget.

The Design: A Feast for the Eyes

The moment you step into Plaza de Coco, you’ll feel like you’ve walked into Santa Cecilia. The Imagineers didn’t hold back—they’ve filled the space with thoughtful details inspired by the Rivera family’s story:

• The Rivera Family Ofrenda: Featuring family photos, marigolds, and nods to Día de los Muertos, this centerpiece celebrates the importance of family and tradition.
• Papel Picados: Colorful paper banners with intricate designs add a festive touch, drawing from Mexican folklore and music.
• Shoemaking Details: A tribute to the Rivera family’s shoemaking business, the venue is sprinkled with traditional tools and charming shoe designs.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
