Spectacular Plaza de la Familia Eats at Disneyland Resort 2023

Honoring the Mexican traditions of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), the vibrant Plaza de la Familia cultural experience once again brings brilliant marigolds, heartwarming live entertainment and family crafts to Paradise Gardens in Disney California Adventure Park from Sept. 1 through Nov. 2.

Paradise Garden Grill, along with other locations at Disneyland Resort, will be serving up sweet and savory delights for Plaza de la Familia that will let you travel through your taste buds with cuisines inspired by some of the cultures that celebrate Día de los Muertos. With the new Chile Verde Chicken Flautas and return of the adorably delicious Horchata Cheesecake, and even some special “Coco”-inspired novelties like the Coco Souvenir Sipper, you’re going to want to check out this exciting event.
