As an aside, if Coco does come to MK, I would hope it brings with it a solid Mexican restaurant- whether table service, quick serve or both. And I would envision a lot of Day of the Dead themed merch. Of course, you get a good bit of Mexico merch in Epcot so there will probably be overlap.

If there is a solid Mexican food service, then perhaps Tortuga Tavern can be switched to a more Caribbean menu

Is a Coco expansion enough to excite people though? I still haven't seen the movie (not on purpose, but haven't had a chance), so I don't know if it deserves all this hype.

Yes, it’s the last great Pixar movie to date. I also would love a ride based on it and will continue to state that FL Splash should have been rethemed to this movie instead of Tiana to fit the land better.

Tortuga Tavern will likely be the new Pirate Bar by then.

I’m having trouble squaring the notion that a Villains Land is too terrifying for children, but a Coco ride where you fly over the Land of the Dead / experience the Day of the Dead is somehow less frightening or terrifying.

Have you seen the movie? Do you not understand the Mexican traditions surrounding the holiday? The skeletons are just people who have died, they are just as scary/funny/nice as they were when they were alive. My 4 year old nephew loves that movie, which he names, “silly skeletons.”

Maybe the most surprising decision at MK over the past two decades is the fact that Toy Story or Woody never got a permanent chunk of Frontierland. Is he also on a list now? Okay for future sequels but not park additions?

Sane minds were able to make the argument that Woody is all about 1950’s toy nostalgia, and not really about the 1800’s west.

That is certainly not an issue. Alien Encounter gets that excuse of why Disney closes it too, but it somehow was fine for nearly a decade without post opening tweaks to make less scary.

It certainly could give years ago up to now with ease

They will have to try a lot harder if they use it for something opening four or five years from now.

I don't think it will be a Coco land. Just a ride. Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Country Bears could become New Orleans Square with Pecos Bill turning into Tiana's Palace. Then BTMRR and Coco are Fronterland. Disney needs something to go with BTMRR.
