Seize your moment! The most evil musician of all time took the spotlight at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event for a one-of-a-kind performance in front of the audience. Welcome to the stage, Ernesto de la Cruz!
So, OK, his appearance at Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase may have been interrupted by a very big announcement. Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro took the stage to announce that a brand new “Coco”-themed attraction from Pixar Animation Studios will be opening at Disney California Adventure in the future.
The attraction will be filled with the characters—and music!—you know and love from the popular film as you join Miguel on a journey to the land of the dead. This is the first-ever “Coco” ride in a Disney park!
Walt Disney Imagineering will draw inspiration for the attraction from beloved classics such as Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. “We are bringing our skeleton characters to life with the latest Audio-Animatronics“Technology,” Josh told the crowd. “These characters will appear in ways that you have to see to believe.”
Get ready to celebrate everything you know and love about the film and music as work on the attraction begins in 2026!
