The Entrance Art Centers on Ernesto de la Cruz
The second image shows an outdoor courtyard with a bronze-colored Ernesto de la Cruz statue surrounded by marigolds and papel picado. A mission-style building stands behind the statue.
Construction Begins Backstage This Fall
The attraction will be built near Paradise Gardens Park and Pixar Pier, with backstage construction beginning in fall 2026. Disney has not announced an opening date.
The ride will follow Miguel into the land of the dead. Imagineers have cited Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion as inspirations and plan to use new Audio-Animatronics technology for the skeletal cast.
