Who said it had to go “over” Disneyland Dr? As I said alternatives can be made without having to build directly across.

I had brought up the idea originally when DLForward was first being discussed. I think there are many ideas that can be made without having to have a straight bridge that starts and ends directly across from each other. As I just mentioned the EGW pedestrian bridge won’t be so we shouldn’t assume that they wouldn’t do the same with this one, if it’s even a bridge. All ideas are on the table here.

Over, under, around. No matter how you slice it, it seems easier to me to utilize the parade gate and backstage behind Pizza/Pasta as the entry point rather than losing an attraction.
I personally wouldn't care at all if we lost Goofy's but the powers that be would probably rather use the backstage space like they showed in the artwork.

Easier doesn’t mean the most efficient or even the most economical in terms of impact to the resort. I think we should leave open the possibility that any option could be used here and not be closed off to something besides the parade gate and such. It may just end up like that but it’s a long ways off and many things have to happen before that occurs anyways.

I'm just glad that the Coco attraction itself is a true expansion and not a replacement. We really are lucky that WDI seems to keep finding space to expand these already tightly surrounded parks while DLR's younger siblings with the "blessing of size" can't seem to do the same very often...
yeah I agree with this being a fair measure for scale. To me that means Avengers might be more like a D+ than an E, so I'm hoping Coco leans a little more into some of the length and effects of Frozen than Tangled

Just went to Disneyland and California Adventure yesterday. While eating at Wine Country Trattoria, I couldn’t help but notice the current parade at DCA are small and lack details. I would expect from Disney typically.
I don’t believe Disney will abandon parades at DCA. I still think parades help entertainment and value for DCA. Yet again, I only stayed at DCA to eat and get on Raider Spring Racers and hopped back to DL since. Because their not much do, especially being a solo guest party.

Here's what Brady MacDonald reports about that filing:
Disneyland will soon begin construction on the world’s first Coco attraction that will take riders to the Land of the Dead with Miguel, Hector and other Rivera family members when the new boat ride debuts at Disney California Adventure.
Walt Disney Imagineering has submitted early plans with the Anaheim Public Works department to begin work on the Coco attraction that will be predominantly nestled backstage between Pixar Pier and Paradise Gardens.
The scope of the work is focused on a backstage area bound by Disneyland Drive, Katella Avenue, Downtown Drive and the backside of the Incredicoaster.
The early plans call for work on the public right of way along Disneyland Drive and Katella Avenue on sidewalks, curbs, gutters, trees, planters, landscaping, irrigation and fencing.
The plans do not show the outline of the ride building that is expected to be squeezed between Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta, the DCA parade storage building and the Incredicoaster track.
The new Coco attraction based on the 2017 Pixar animated film will be built on a plot of underused land occupied by a backstage access road connecting to Disneyland Drive.
A backstage gate between Pixar Pier and Paradise Gardens will eventually serve as a passageway to the Westside expansion area of Disney California Adventure. Visitors would cross a themed bridge passing over Disneyland Drive to get between Pixar Pier and the new DisneylandForward expansion area south of the Pixar Pier Hotel.
Disneyland has not yet announced an opening date for the new Coco boat ride, but the attraction is expected to debut in 2027 or 2028.

Curious that they mention it seemingly won't touch the parade building.Here's what Brady MacDonald reports about that filing:

Seems to insinuate it is going here? Somehow?

This feels like conjecture on his part, right? Speculation?

I’m going to imagine the walkway will be large to allow parades to go through. Along with small truck for food distribution.
Makes me wonder if they can remove Disney way passage. Can Disney repurpose the space for new backstage buildings for another expansion pad next to Toy Story Mania?

I think, given the tight space, it would be natural for them to think multi-level.
The question is did the budget tell them to go back to one level.
One level and the tighter space? Ouch. I’ll say this - the smaller the scale the bigger the drop better be. I’ll take those 4 show scenes and a drop from the second story over a Coco version of Tangled.
How would this space compare to Tangled or Hong Kong Frozen?
