While we have yet to see Coco (although we are really looking forward to it!), we’ve heard nothing but good things, and its cultural authenticity sounds like a good fit for Epcot. If the attraction concept is green-lit, the Mexico pavilion would likely see a larger redesign (and removal/retooling of retail space) to provide a more elaborate and longer queue for the attraction, and also address other congestion issues that exist within the Mexico pavilion. To reiterate, the original rumor was that this attraction would be a reworked Gran Fiesta Tour focusing on Coco and “Dia de los Muertos.” The scope of the potential project is unknown, but expectations are that it’d be smaller in scale than Frozen Ever After. Well, with Coco beating projections over the holiday weekend and earning an A+ CinemaScore, it’s safe to say things are looking up. This new buzz is more about people seeing the film and connecting the dots on a rumor that has been percolating for months…Īs we previously reported, whether Gran Fiesta Tour would be re-imagined into a Coco attraction depended largely upon box office performance and audience response. That doesn’t mean it isn’t happening, though (to the contrary, we’re hearing it’s very likely).
There has been renewed buzz about this on social media not because of any new rumors or this overlay being greenlit, but largely based on wishful thinking from fans. In the case of rumors, which is where we’ll begin, we have the latest status of a Coco attraction at Walt Disney World. In the case of existing projects, several permits were filed for Walt Disney World last week–we have a quick rundown of those. Most of what we’re reporting here is not exactly breaking news, but rather, updates to existing projects and previously-reported rumors. Well, perhaps “latest” isn’t the right word. Before you resume that on Cyber Monday, we thought we’d drop in with the latest Walt Disney World news & rumors. Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving with loved ones, and has been recovering in the most American way possible: with marathon shopping sessions for Black Friday weekend.
