Specific Details
Characters from Disney Pixar's 'Coco' movie may be added to the Gran Fiesta Tour and other parts of the Mexico Pavilion. The movie centers around the Mexican Day of the Dead and the additions are largely contingent on the success of the movie in the box office. As of early 2018 this seemed increasingly unlikely.
In early September, some of the artifacts in the La VIda Antigua exhibits were removed and the expectation is that they will be replaced with items related to Coco.
