On the new Disney Treasure cruise ship, a dinner show will be held at Plaza de Coco. Seven night sailings will get to experience two different shows with different themes.
Familia Night sets a scene like you’re in the market where the Rivera family sells their shoes. Show Night is a celebration of Día de Los Muertos with authentic cuisine and entertainment.
We got to go aboard the Treasure ahead of her maiden voyage next month and got a tour of the venue, a look at some of the offerings, and more.
Entrance
Guests enter the restaurant through the town of Santa Cecilia through a brick archway. Inside they’ll find the Rivera’s shop.
The hall is lined with themed lamps featuring skulls and cempasúchiles. A sign reads “Remembering Héctor Rivera.” Another poster advertises the Día de Los Muertos Talent Show, just like the one Miguel tries to enter in the movie.
Photos of the Rivera family are on the walls, including Miguel and Mama Coco, as well as Héctor playing the guitar for Mama Imelda.
Ofrenda
The Rivera family’s sprawling ofrenda is out, with photos of the deceased family members interspersed with traditional decorations such as bread, skulls, and candles.
Dining Area
The dining area is set up around the stage and designed to look like the market at the Santa Cecilia plaza. The tables are rectangular in neat lines with a mix of plain brown chairs and green chairs with floral decorations.
String lights hang from the ceiling and more lights line the windows. To drive home the idea of being outdoors, large tree trunks intersperse the areas with branches overhead. Lanterns hang from the branches.
The tables were set with striped placemats, water glasses, and themed dishes.
Entertainment
The show features authentic Mexican music and music from the film performed by a live mariachi band. Upon entry, there’s a small ofrenda for Héctor in the center, complete with his iconic guitar.
The mariachi band was joined by Miguel, who played his grandfather’s guitar like in the movie.
