The Disneyland Resort has kicked off its celebration of Hispanic and Latin Heritage Month with a new display in the Downtown Disney District. The new display features Miguel from Pixar Animation Studios’ Coco, along with his guitar. The Colombian floral display, called silletas, appeared this week at the Disneyland Resort. It was accompanied by a sign that explained the display. It reads as follows:
Celebrate Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month
At the Disneyland Resortwith a Downtown Disney District installation inspired by Columbian floral arrangements called silletas (see-yeh-tajs).
This stilleta honors the Disneyland Resort Belonging Employee Resource Group. It symbolizes a vibrant environment where culture, community, and connection flourish. Rooted in Heritage, we celebrate the richness of our roots and the pride we carryin our diverse cultures. Guided by Optimism, we look toward a brighter future–one shaped by the dreams and resilience ofthose who came before us. Through Legacy, we honor the trailblazers who opened doors and those who continue to break barriers for future generations. And with Allyship, we foster a space of belonging–where everyone is seen, supported, and empowered.
The sign is also presented in Spanish on the second half. Friends of Daps Magic, Mike, Matt, and Spencer, took the following photos of this installation. Check out their photos here:
Hispanic and Latin Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15th each year. This is a month-long celebration of Hispanic and Latino history and culture. Each year, the Disneyland Resort celebrates this differently. More information can be found on the Disneyland website.
