The new chocolate Coco sculpture is on display just for the Halloween season. The sculpture depicts buildings from the ‘Land of the Dead’ in the background with Miguel and Dante crossing the marigold bridge between the land of the living and the spirit world.

The sculpture is inspired by Coco and the Plaza de la Familia in Disney California Adventure. It took over 480 hours to create and features five hidden Mickeys. The display is made from 200 pounds of icing, 100 pounds of gingerbread dough, 50 pounds white chocolate, 30 pounds crisped rice cereal, and over 3 dozen different colors of fondant.

Dante is in his Alebrije form. He is so bright and colorful! Miguel is in his usual blue jeans and red hoodie. He is also resting his arm on the guitar belonging to his grandfather Hรฉctor. The detail put into this display is just amazing.

What do you think of the edible display?

Disney Cruise Line Donates School Supplies and Books to Children in the Bahamas

School Supplies and Books

โ€œDisney Cruise Line is proud to donate school supplies and textbooks to local students, meeting their critical needs and helping to prepare them for the new school year ahead,โ€ said Joey Gaskins, Public Affairs Director, Disney Cruise Line. โ€œFor many years, we have engaged in back-to-school initiatives to inspire and empower young people across The Bahamas to be successful in school and in life.โ€

This summer, Disney Imagineering cast and Disney Castaway Cay crew members helped sort, pack and distribute school supplies during various events throughout the communities. In Eleuthera, Disney Imagineers visited several schools to deliver supplies as well as textbooks and academic workbooks to students. And, earlier this month, Castaway Cay crew members filled hundreds of backpacks with school supplies for students in Abaco, where many of our Disney Castaway Cay crew members call home.

As Disney Cruise Lineโ€™s fleet of ships expands, along with Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point opening in 2024, Disney is committed to continuing to invest in programs supporting local youth. Some of Disney Cruise Lineโ€™s recent efforts include:

  • Disney Cruise Line sponsored the LJM Maritime Academy summer camp andย invited the students aboard the Disney Wishย to learn about careers in the maritime industry.ย 
  • Disney Cruise Line also teamed up with community organizations toย build a backyard garden for the Ranfurly Homes for Children.
  • Disney Cruise Line and local students from 10 schools in Eleuthera worked together to celebrate the rich traditions of Junkanoo andย collaborate on the Eleuthera Junior Junkanoo competition,ย exchanging ideas and learning from each other about Junkanoo and costume design.
  • As part of Disney Cruise Lineโ€™sย โ€˜Wishes Set Sailโ€™ campaignย to celebrate our newest ship, the Disney Wish,ย Disney Cruise Line donated backpacks filled with school supplies for students in Abaco and Eleuthera.

Together, these initiatives further Disneyโ€™s commitment to empower Bahamian students to be successful and follow their dreams.

For more than 25 years, Disney Cruise Line has introduced countless families to the beauty and culture of The Bahamas, while providing significant economic impact and demonstrating a strong commitment to the environment and the community. Approximately 70 percent of the cruises offered by Disney have at least one stop in The Bahamas, and all five of its ships are registered in The Bahamas.
