Universal Orlando Sets Captain Cacao Meet-and-Greet for May 22 at Epic Universe

The rollout turns a shop-based fan favorite into an in-park meet-and-greet.

Overview

  • Universal Orlando posted a teaser Monday that the Captain Cacao character will start greeting guests May 22 in Celestial Park at Epic Universe.
  • The park has not released set times or an exact spot for the encounter, and it directs visitors to the Universal Orlando Resort app for day-of details.
  • Captain Cacao is an original Moonship Chocolates mascot in Celestial Park, created for Epic Universe as the navigator and friend of Maya of the Skies.
  • The character’s look—a chocolate-colored bear with a white chocolate star over one eye, a blue captain’s hat, and a gold sash—has fueled strong demand for plush, apparel, and themed treats.
  • Universal Creative designed the shop as an immersive story, and this live debut extends that approach by bringing its in-house character into face-to-face guest interactions.
