¡Recuérdame! A “Coco” Boat Ride is Cruising into Disney California Adventure!
Get ready to cross over to the Land of the Dead, Disney fans! The news is out, and it’s music to our ears: an all-new attraction themed to Pixar’s beloved film, “Coco,” is officially making its way to Disney California Adventure!
As revealed by Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro, this will be the first-ever “Coco” ride in any Disney park, and it sounds absolutely enchanting. Imagine joining Miguel on his unforgettable journey into the vibrant and musical Land of the Dead. Get ready to be immersed in the heartwarming story and the unforgettable songs that made “Coco” a modern classic.
Drawing Inspiration from the Masters
What makes this announcement even more exciting is the creative inspiration behind the ride. Walt Disney Imagineering is looking to beloved classics like the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean for guidance. This hints at a potentially immersive boat ride filled with atmosphere, storytelling, and maybe even a touch of delightful spookiness!
Bringing the Skeletons to Life!
Prepare to be amazed by the cutting-edge Audio-Animatronics technology that will bring the skeletal cast of characters to life in a “big way.” Josh D’Amaro teased that these figures will appear in ways we’ll have to see to believe, promising a truly captivating and memorable experience.
Get Ready to Celebrate!
This new attraction is set to celebrate everything we adore about “Coco” – the rich culture, the importance of family, and of course, that incredible music! While we’ll have to wait a bit longer to set sail, the announcement shares that work on the attraction is set to begin in 2026.
It’s clear that Imagineers are already hard at work bringing this beautiful story to life in a tangible and thrilling way. A “Coco”-themed boat ride sounds like the perfect addition to Disney California Adventure, promising a heartfelt and visually stunning adventure for guests of all ages.
