Universal did not announce times or an exact location for the Captain Cacao meet and greet but this information will likely be available in the resort’s app.
Captain Cacao is featured on merchandise, decorations, and treats in Moonship Chocolates & Celestial Sweets. According to the shop’s backstory, he travels the universe with Maya of the Skies looking for different confections in their moonship powered by star-shaped marshmallows.
Captain Cacao merchandise, particularly the plush, has been so popular it has sold out for weeks at a time.
