Overview
- Images and merchandise released in mid‑August 2026 appear to show statues of Miguel and Héctor at the Casa Museo de la Familia archway tied to the new Coco attraction.
- Disney first announced the Coco ride at the 2024 D23 Ultimate Fan Event and says the project will bring the film’s music and characters into an experience inspired by classic Disneyland dark rides.
- Disney Experiences chairman Josh D’Amaro has said the attraction will use the latest Audio‑Animatronics to animate skeletal characters in new, highly engineered ways.
- The Coco project is linked to Plaza de la Familia/Día de los Muertos offerings at Paradise Gardens and will include character encounters such as a hand‑animated Miguel figure.
- The statue identifications come from D23 artwork, a pavilion T‑shirt and event maquettes and remain provisional until Disney issues formal park confirmations or publishes on‑site images, so look for an official release for final placement and technical details.
