We Latinas might not have our own Disney Princess movie, but we’ve gotten a couple Disney flicks over the past few years. In 2017, Coco steeped viewers in the lore of Día de los Muertos, showing that familial love can be strong enough to triumph over death. Four years later, Encanto introduced audiences to the magical Madrigals, who use their gifts to help their community in Colombia. These films will soon be conferred the highest distinction the Mouse can offer – they’re getting their own attractions as part of the Disney Parks expansion.

Earlier this year, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Josh D’Amaro made the announcement about the expansion: a Coco ride will be built at Disney’s California Adventure (at Disneyland), while a new region of Animal Kingdom Park called Tropical Americas will host an Encanto ride as well as an Indiana Jones ride set in a Maya Temple (at Disney World). These expansions will incorporate Latin American culture into the parks in a way that’s never been seen before.

With many venturing to the Parks this holiday season, I started fantasizing about my ideal vision for each attraction. If I could wish upon a star, here’s what I’d ask for.

Coco Ride at Disney’s California Adventure

My vision: The Coco boat ride leads guests through a variety of immersive settings, populated with advanced audio-animatronic figures, like the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean rides before it.

Coco is an ode to Mexico’s vibrant musical traditions, with protagonist Miguel aspiring to be a mariachi star. I’d love to see this reflected in the ride, with songs like “Remember Me” and “Un Poco Loco” playing throughout.

I adore the way Coco used Día de los Muertos to highlight Latino cultures’ rich history of storytelling. Rather than taking guests on a casual cruise through the Land of the Dead, I hope the ride boasts its own narrative – either immersing riders in the plot of the film or serving as a mini-sequel with its own arc.

Encanto Ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

My vision: The Encanto ride takes guests inside “Casita,” the enchanted home where the film takes place. The plot follows Madrigal family member Antonio on a journey through the rainforest after he gains the power to talk to animals.

Encanto shows us that Latinos aren’t a monolith – there’s a variety of skin colors and hair types depicted in the film. So many Latino guests will feel seen if the audio-animatronics featured in the ride represent the diverse faces of Latinidad.

As an animal lover, I’m excited to be surrounded by fascinating fauna that roam the biome – tapirs, capybaras, jaguars, and tamarins are a few species that come to mind.

Indiana Jones Ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

My vision: While the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland takes place in India, Disney World’s adaptation brings guests on a quest through a Maya temple.

This ride concept provides the perfect opportunity to show off the grandeur of Maya architecture. Maya temples are massive and intricate, with multiple floors and winding staircases, so the ride sends us high above the ground, catching glimpses of the imposing view through windows and whizzing through dark corridors as we wonder what’s around the bend.

Indy’s tour of the temple also serves as a de facto tour through Maya art and technology. Sculptures, wood carvings, and murals illustrate the civilization’s eye for visual storytelling, glyphs and calendars revealing the Mayas’ linguistic and scientific prowess, helping to counteract some of the more negative and colonial depictions of the Maya empire in the film.

Pueblo Esperanza at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

My vision: As part of the Disney Parks expansion, Pueblo Esperanza is the name of the “town” within Disney’s Animal Kingdom that will house the aforementioned two rides, designed to resemble a village in Latin America.

This is the theme park we’ve been waiting for. Pueblo Esperanza will feature at least one gift shop, ideally selling wares by small Latin American businesses, from jewelry handcrafted by Indigenous artisans to locally produced chocolates.

I would be happy to see some authentic Latin American cuisine at the quick-service restaurant coming to Pueblo Esperanza – beyond the traditional staples like tacos and burritos. As a salvadoreña, I’m particularly rooting for pupusas, but I’d settle for a variety of pasteles, arepas, and cachapas – and let’s not forget the conchas and semitas for those who would like a sweet treat.
