Captain Cacao is a midnight-hued “chocolate” bear who sails the stars in search of sweet treats… and has stolen the hearts of Epic Universe visitors. The new original character is woven into the story of Celestial Park, the main hub of Universal Epic Universe.
He’s a lovable bear who embarks on interstellar adventures, sailing the cosmos in search of delectable treats. His whimsical journeys are the inspiration behind Moonship Chocolates & Celestial Sweets, a confectionery shop in Celestial Park that offers a variety of sweets.
In addition to his presence in the candy shop, Captain Cacao appears on various merchandise items, including plush toys, apparel, and sweet treats, so you can take a piece of his cosmic adventures home. Captain Cacao embodies the park’s theme of exploration and discovery across the universe… in the cutest form.
Where Can I Find Captain Cacao?
As you pass through the Chronos of Epic Universe (the park’s entrance), stick to the left side. Here is where you’ll find Moonship Chocolates & Celestial Sweets – a shop run by Maya the Explorer, another original character.
Once inside, you’ll spot the sweet little bear soon enough! The official story of the candy shop goes:
Find treats collected by young adventurer Maya of the Skies and her navigator, Captain Cacao. Together they fly their moonship, searching high and low for otherworldly treats to bring back to their shop in Universal Epic Universe.
You can pick up your own Captain Cacao in plush form, or plush backpack:
There’s also a fuzzy bucket hat, t-shirt, and tumbler:
He’s also featured on several snacks and candies found inside Moonshine, including bagged popcorn and chocolates, and giant jawbreaker candies:
The Captain Cacao cookies and candy apples inside the confectionary case have proven to be very popular here:
What do you think of Captain Cacao? I’d love to see his lore within Celestial Park expanded upon, maybe give the adorable original character a suspended high-flying dark ride of his own – think E.T. Adventure!
