Just announced today during a performance by Mariachi Cobre, the fan-favorite “Story of Coco” show will be returning for a special three-day run in celebration of Día de los Muertos, or the traditional Day of the Dead at the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT.
The Mexico Pavilion will honor its traditions and make Abuelita proud by bringing back the beloved puppet show featuring Miguel from Pixar’s “Coco” dancing along the traditional Mexican folkorico dancers.
“Mariachi Cobre Presents… The Story of Coco” will run from October 31st through November 2nd for Día de los Muertos. Showtimes for Mariachi Cobre can change, but the usual times are: 11:00 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:15 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 4:15 p.m. As a reminder, the show was removed from the regular schedule of performances back in September due to Entertainment cuts.
Don’t forget to check out the pavilion for any special activities or cultural celebrations taking place inside, and always remember to honor your ancestors on this day!
Coco is just a very endearing film and set of characters. Glad it’s coming back (sort of). However, I just don’t understand this budget cut. Mariachi Cobre is sticking around so are we saying that two dancers and a puppet performer are just THAT much more expensive?
Just a stupid decision all around. From what I’ve seen, this show really brought in the crowds…it was really beloved.
