Overview
- The newly filed, confidential permits cover initial demolition and site preparation at Disney California Adventure for the Coco attraction.
- Reporter Scott Gustin confirmed the permits pertain to Coco and reflect Disney's previously stated plan to begin backstage work this fall.
- The ride is planned for a backstage area between Pixar Pier and Paradise Gardens, with the current parade gate expected to serve as the entrance and future access to the Westside expansion.
- Disney has described the experience as a boat-based dark ride that will use next-generation Audio-Animatronics and draw inspiration from classic attractions.
- The step comes within a broader expansion that includes additional Avengers Campus rides and a West Coast Pandora, with Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue slated to close permanently in early 2026.
