Overview
- Captain Cacao, an original Epic Universe character tied to Moonship Chocolates, begins meeting guests in Celestial Park on Friday, May 22, with Universal pointing visitors near The Oak & Star Tavern.
- Universal has not posted fixed daily times for the appearance and advises guests to check the Universal Orlando Resort app because schedules can change without notice.
- The debut follows Monday’s social teaser from Universal and a team-member preview the same day that drew long lines and strong reactions.
- The character’s official lore pairs Captain Cacao with Maya of the Skies aboard the marshmallow-powered moonship Joei de Ganache as they hunt for ingredients sold at Moonship Chocolates & Celestial Sweets.
- The move caps a year of sold-out plushes and growing fan buzz, suggesting Universal is cultivating park-born IP to encourage longer stays and photo-friendly moments in Celestial Park.
