Just got back from EPCOT. Thought that was a nice surprise for those of us browsing the display.
The Mariachi band playing songs from the film was a nice touch as well.

They finally added the video for Un Poco Loco, I would love it if a scene like this made it to the ride!

I loved this movie, and wasn't expecting to at all.
I don't know if this has been covered in this thread, but I feel like this movie was conceptualized partially with the ride in mind. Just makes a lot of sense, since I doubt they greenlight anything that does not have some kind of corporate synergy going on... and this is a perfect fit to replace Three Caballeros (which is pretty terrible) in the Mexico pavilion.
I'm on board with it.

Announcement of what?

the most sense i could stitch from the post is 'announcement' meant the first it was mentioned as a possibility - because there's certainly been no official announcement.

Is there really going to be a new Brazilian Pavilion??? Or is this just a joke? Curious because we have always wondered why there wasn’t one. Brazilians being some of the biggest Disney fans on the planet!
Coco seems to have done well at the box office, so who knows if this will happen.
We love Donaldo and friends!!
Have the cutest photo of the three meeting n greeting my daughter. Very colorful characters!
We need more Disney Classics not less!
Enjoyed Coco though.

When I heard the movie concept 'announcement' I knew it was a perfect match for the Mexico pavilion. Plus Epcot didn't have a "Haunted House" style attraction so that makes it even more likely. Still just a hunch though.

Not until we get an official announcement.

most appropriate 'relevant' ip i've heard pitched for the ws in years...
bolstered, of course, by its apparent acceptance by the peoples of mexico.
would border on delinquency if nothing of substance were to come to the pavilion.

Yes. Our insiders have been consistently saying this is happening. Only some little contractual details with the sponsors to be nailed down prevented it from being announced at D23 this year.
And we're not getting it because of Brazilian tourists and Disney catering to them. We're getting it because there are enough Brazilian corporate sponsors willing to pay for it. If there weren't, then no matter how many Brazilian tourists WDW get, there'd be no Brazil pavilion.
It won’t be a "haunted house style attraction."

As far as you know, have they done any changes to the proposal after the movie release? (Also Happy Holidays Martin!)

How about a "journey to the other side" style attraction? Does that make more sense?
Dr. Facilier in the Mexican pavilion!?

I think it'll do quite well, especially in Japan. Japan has a similar holiday to Day of the Dead (Obon) and loves stories about spirits (two of the most popular anime there are Spooky Kitaro and Yo-Kai Watch). Also, Japan's including the Frozen short at the beginning, and Frozen's HUGE there. Cinderella beat several other popular movies at the time due to a Frozen short, so I bet this can do great in Japan.
This reminds me of the restaurant in the Mexico pavillion...
