Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary celebrations are beginning, and while we’re so thrilled to experience every single part of it, there’s one in particular we’ve been really looking forward to.
Originally, “it’s a small world” in the park was set to reopen on April 25th with these new changes, but it was pushed back to today, May 9th, but now it’s finally here — some of our favorite Coco characters are now part of the attraction!
We’re heading into the park later today to ride the famous attraction for the first time in months! Before we head over to the parks, Disney gave us a sneak peek at the newest character on the ride.
Miguel and Dante from Pixar’s Coco have now been added to the attraction in the Mexico section! How cute are they?! We can already hear the song “Remember Me” playing now. Ignore us if we shed a few tears.
The adorable Pixar character and his alebrije are the latest addition to this famous ride!
Disneyland started adding Disney and Pixar characters to the attraction back in 2009 (to lots of controversy among fans).

“it’s a small world”
This adorable new addition is now available to fans as part of the Disneyland 70th Anniversary celebrations. The park will also be seeing a new cavalcade, the return of a popular nighttime show, the Paint the Night Parade is back, and more, thanks to the festivities.

Disneyland is ready for its 70th!
We can’t wait to hop on the ride ourselves later this evening! Looking for more recent Disneyland news? Check out our posts below!
