Gran Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros Epcot Mexico Boat Ride Disney World (Pandavision)

[@WilsonDittmanSports]

This is my favorite ride in Epcot. This makes me sad because this ride is SO UNDERRATED

[@amelias7301]

Same! When I was younger I went to disney and at one point they just let me stay on the ride because I just kept on riding it lmao

[@TheRealJohnJ10]

Never a line is always a plus. Lol

[@haydengarrabrant730]

Doesn’t bother me that it’s underrated I can get on whenever I want!

[@bacon.6008]

yes

[@JP-pm5hj]

I love that United States takes the Beautiful and fun parts of Mexico. Not only Mexico, every country included in Epcot! That's what I love about Disney. They always have a positive way of showing different things to the world

[@dr.seeker9150]

And alot of people just don't get that. Some despise it.

[@PixarShark]

I am personally SO HAPPY that they decided to give this one to the Three Caballeros. They're fantastic characters and besides this ride and a few parents that have gotten the Three Caballeros DVD to show their kids, there's pretty much no trace of them left in Disney. And I don't see why - the concept is like going on the ultimate bachelor road trip adventure with your buddies. :D Who doesn't want that? Not to mention that the creation of this team is a cool lesson on history, and they were pretty much made as a way to teach Americans about our Central and South American allies in WWII. That's awesome!!! :D Props to Disney for giving these guys their chance to shine again!!

[@BigFatPanda]

I also enjoy the Three Caballeros theming with this

[@Thoralmir]

PixarShark Political correctness. The fact that Jose smokes and Panchito is armed and seems trigger-happy are BIG no-nos for the Left. That, and the fact that they are considered "racist caricatures" of Mexicans by liberals.

[@PixarShark]

Thoralmir Well that's just dumb. XD We may have not been the classiest people throughout history, but it's still OUR history and there's a lot of good to be learned from it.

[@PixarShark]

Since we became WAY TOO WORRIED about offending people. XD In Disney's case, they haven't always been the best conveyers talking about other cultures according to a lot of feedback. Irrational or not, DIsney kinda has a lot of pressure on them as the bearer of the world's concept of "morality" nowadays. I feel bad for them in that. D: But hey, teaching SOMETHING was better than nothing. With very few exceptions (i.e. no Pixar), I'm afraid Disney has hardly ventured into doing a movie about a culture outside of North America and non-specific Fairytale Europe since Emperor's New Groove for this reason.

[@jonathanlife5304]

+Thoralmir Jose is actually Brasilian, so the fact that he smokes cannot be seen as a "racist caricature of Mexicans" if you "really" want to be politically and culturally correct. I'm of Mexican descent and I don't find Panchito's character offensive.

[@javerygmailcom1212]

If i'm correct I believe Eric Goldberg supervised the animation on this. Really captures the look of the movie well.

[@redacted9683]

Good Job finding the hidden Mickey! 6:22.

[@fidoandthecakes4468]

I rode this the first time going to Disney world, I was so confused because the movie was older than me, but then I saw the movie and now I get it, I am DEFINITELY going to ride this again next time I go.🇮🇹🇲🇽

[@MrWii000]

I remember when I first rode this: my family and I were on vacation, and while my family was elsewhere, I took part in some Kim Possible missions. I family told me to meet them in Mexico for lunch, so I did my final KP mission there, and after I finished it, I took part in the ride before eating with my family (they didn't know about the ride before then).

We're heading to WDW for the first time in two weeks and this is probably the ride I'm looking most forward to in Epcot. I love the Three Caballeros!

[@BigFatPanda]

CoryTheRaven Have a GREAT time!

[@CoryTheRaven]

Figment -The disneyworld epcot ride The ride or WDW as a whole? :) For the ride, I loved it! I don't understand why so many people seem to dislike it... As a silly boat ride through video screens of Mexico, I enjoyed having the Three Caballeros as a guide! We also had dinner at the San Angel Inn Restaurante, and between the restaurant and the ride, I would say that the Mexico pavilion was my favourite in World Showcase. Gran Fiesta Tour was definitely my favourite ride in Epcot (sorry to say, beyond World Showcase, Epcot was a bust).

[@CoryTheRaven]

[@staceyhinckley9959]

I loved this ride so much I rode it twice

Really Jacob? That's awesome. It is overlooked by many - sort of tucked away in the rear of the Mexico Pavilion. I love it.

[@601billionlazer]

when i was in disney with my family a few years ago, we were in epcot when it started pouring rain. We were in the resteraunt featuring this ride at the time, so we decided to just keep going on it over and over until the rain stop. When we left, it was still raining, but those 10 or so times i road on this ride was the best experience i had that day.

[@BigFatPanda]

I like it too - perfect on a rainy day

I went on this ride five times in a row XD

[@elleroy9775]

AMAZING!! I´m glad the characters were not made in CGI. Almost all the animated segments were created by Eric Golberg and all of them are BEAUTIFUL. We need more 2D animations like that in cinemas. Like if you are agree.

[@W1ldestride]

The fact that Donald got a ride in Epcot and a show in magic kingdom before Mickey even got one ride makes me so happy

[@disfreak347639]

This is my favortie ride in EPCOT, and thats saying alot because it's beating Test Track and Soarin'

[@annietsunami7765]

I liked the old ( original) it was dark and captivating. Indiania Jones feel to it. Snakes hanging from trees, distant temple with eruption. I like the cool breeze as the boat was moving along the waterway. This is too bright, loud and doesn’t fit with the dark ambiance of adventure. It doesn’t have any rhyme or reason... Cartoons on Aztec walls as you float by. Dumb idea.

[@まゆ-f3y]

I don't know what they say the last scene. Panchito and Joe have an accent???Please tell me!

[@Kensm03]

Tell me what time to start at and I’ll tell you

[@mini_mew775]

They could keep the original and add coco by just changing the it's a small world like section! That way it's a two for one. I would prefer that to the ride being removed and taking Panchito and Jose away fully

This is must do ride when travelling to WDW's Epcot.

One exotic scene in the ride is the room with 3 panels with one panel shows a Mariachi band, Donald and Panchito (panel 1), then the girls performing a "paso doble" dance in panel 2, and panel 3 is Jose Carioca pulling Donald from some girls.

Notice the pattern? Whenever a change happens people say “I miss the old version 😔😔😔” then a change happens to that version and they’ll say how much they miss it. Let’s face it, y’all are biased towards what you’re used to. Give new things a chance instead of saying how sad you are that it had to change.

[@matts.6904]

No, this was a simple case of replacing an authentic cultural experience for some blathering, yacking Disney characters to appeal to the kiddies.

[@josea.ramirez975]

Then, by your perspective, take out Mona Lisa from the Louvre snd replace it for a new versión. Disney has a bad history of wrong replacements in all their parks. Each “new version” makes me cry. No one has been as good as the original. I’m a regular Disney guest since 1972, so I know what I mean.

[@JoMarieM]

This looks like a cool ride, but I think that it would be even cooler without the overwhelming cartoon voices and cartoon sound effects that kill whatever ambience this ride has. It's the epitome of sensory overload. The original "Three Caballeros" movies had some AWESOME live-action/animation scenes and music, and I think that those should have been included here (especially the scenes with Carmen Molina). However, I guess Disney has to do something to attract the kiddies. . .

I think they ruined it. The culture of Mexico is still kind of hidden within all the silliness. Also there is almost no wait for ride. Expect for this one time. I go to Disney World once a year. As a children’s book writer/ illustrator, and a visual artist it is great for generating ideas. I was met to go this June for Yearly conference for children’s books writers and illustrators that takes place inside of Disney World. Yet, thanks to Covid 19 the conference was canceled. I might have a chance in August. Sure there will be no characters, or parades, but I don’t care about that. I can wait on the fireworks. As for wearing a mask in the summer heat I can handle that. Hopefully things are back in swing in time for my 2021 trip.
