DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

The Land of the Dead from Coco would definitely be a world I'd love to explore. I think it would lend itself perfectly to the "explore the worlds of your favorite movies" theme that Hollywood Studios is transitioning to.

The boat ride could be a retelling of the first movie from the point of view of those in the afterlife, and the second flying attraction could cover the sequel plot? Or just further explore the world? The music is so rich, and there seems to be so many events happening in the afterlife, I could see them having material for a stage show here too.

At this point, let's retheme Tower of Terror to Up, Star Wars to Coco, and rename the park Pixar Studios.

Does Coco 2 being announced for 2029 release
+
Coco ride already being developed for DCA
+
Previously Disney already exploring ways to try to bring Coco to WDW (original TA and BTM 'bluesky', both having Coco in it)

Maybe we're overthinking it and the answer is very obviously a big "Land of the Dead" Coco land in Animation Courtyard? With probably that boat ride DCA is getting + dining/shopping and maybe a second FOP/Soarin type attraction flying over the Land of the Dead?
I have no insider info, but hypothetically, if that's it-- who says no?

Would make a heck of a lot of sense if it is. It is the only Beyond Big Thunder blue sky IP that didn't get announced for WDW later on.

One thing that holds me back is DCA getting it seemingly in a way that had DCA get Coco as an exclusive and WDW get Encanto as an exclusive to even it out, so it goes from them getting an exclusive to "oh btw WDW is getting a whole land lol." Maybe they do the simulator in WDW so they can keep exclusively on the boat ride

Well DCA, California, "that's what you get for having a full on Cars Land, WDW isn't, therefore for Coco you get the ride and we get the full Land, it's just how it is"

Expand the Mexico Pavilion over to Odyssey and build a complete Coco attraction with a quick serve, gift shop and outdoor village area... exit the ride inside the Pyramid... It would be the perfect fit for World Showcase....
Lowkey would also love a coco dark ride replacing princess fairytale hall or philharmagic in fantasyland. Still feel like our fantasyland is the worst one

Coco doesn't really feel like a fit for the Fantasyland location... architecturally it would feel very off.
It works with the Mexico Pavilion...or it should have been part of the Tropical Americas build for DAK....
Of course, if the idea is to break the theming in the parks, then sure! Coco in Fantasyland....and perhaps the Tangled ride in Tomorrowland replacing Stitch....

Eh I wasn’t really thinking they would have to change the facade I’d rather they keep it the current aesthetic but idk I’d rather have a dark ride going through the fantastical world of the dead than just a princess meet and greet. Obviously if it were up to me I’d have all the OG Disneyland fantasyland dark rides but unfortunately I don’t think they’re bringing Pinocchio or Alice over

Put it next to Small World and it's a nice transition to the Haunted Mansion.

remove and relocate IaSW to area behind traintracks just north of Tron. Give it an entire IaSW themed area replacing the Circus tents, with Mary Blaire aesthetic and square trees, Fountain, maybe food and such, with entrance and que/boats laoding/unloading on one side of tracks and ride on the other, kinda like in DL. You could give it a plussed up DL vibe in that area.

Then replace IaSW with Tangled boat ride and tangled restaraunt replacing pinnochios.

Moth suggested over on IU that from his sources Disney hasn't quite secured the full Marvel rights and Simpsons and Zootopia have been passed on. So to him, he feels what Disney has in mind for AC is a Bluey land since they secured the theme park rights.
Tbh I would love this, DHS needs more family/accessible areas and attractions
