The Coco floral displays at the Downtown Disney District are finished, and the centerpiece is Miguel. He stands in a red charro suit with a wide sombrero, one gloved hand on the neck of a white guitar, planted in a bed of marigolds and sunflowers that has filled in since the displays first went in.
Miguel has received his flowers!

The Detail Work Is In The Face And The Hat
The figure is built the way Disney’s character topiaries usually are, with different plant material doing different jobs. The suit is a solid deep red, the skin is a pale green foliage, and the sombrero carries a swirling pattern picked out in a darker tone across its brim. The guitar is white with an inlaid rosette at the sound hole and a dark fretboard, and it is scaled large enough to read from across the walkway.
Marigolds do most of the work at the base. That is the right flower for it. In Coco, marigold petals form the bridge between the living world and the Land of the Dead, and the film’s visual language leans on that orange the whole way through. The bed around Miguel runs orange and yellow, with red blooms tucked against the base of the platform and agave and other succulents planted at the edges.
The Second Display Is A Guitar In A Tree
The other piece takes a different approach. A guitar rendered in dark plant material sits in front of a tree wrapped in string lights, with its strings and fret markers picked out in pale material against the body. Below it sit terracotta planters holding succulents, snake plants and more marigolds, with sunflowers filling the bed around the rocks.
It sits on the stretch of the district near Ballast Point and Black Tap.
Finished With Days To Spare
Both displays were still going in earlier in the week, with visible gaps and signage indicating more flowers were on the way. We covered them in that unfinished state, and they are now complete ahead of Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month, which runs September 15 through October 15.
The Isabela display from last year is also back in the district, moved to a spot in front of Napolini. Floral work has been Downtown Disney’s signature contribution to the observance since the Encanto-inspired silletas arrived in 2022, and it consistently lands before the food, merchandise and entertainment do.
Disney has not yet published its full 2026 lineup for the Disneyland Resort, so the displays are what is confirmed on the ground. Over at Disney California Adventure, Plaza de la Familia carries the same Coco material deeper into the fall, through Día de los Muertos on November 1 and 2. The district has had a busy stretch besides, with free Wednesday movie nights back since September 9.
