“The attraction will be filled with the characters — and music! — you know and love from the beloved movie, as you join Miguel on a trip to the land of the dead. This marks the first-ever “Coco” ride in a Disney park!

I have to say that out of all the announcements we heard at D23, this was the one we were most surprised about and were absolutely not expecting.

If I am thinking strictly from a thematic perspective, it would be a perfect fit there, more so than in Disney California Adventure (though we don’t hate the idea).
