Exciting changes are underway at Disney California Adventure, and the buzz is all around the upcoming Coco attraction! But here's where it gets intriguing: the perimeter wood fencing surrounding the construction site has been extended even further, sparking curiosity about the scale and scope of this new addition. And this is the part most people miss—the fence now stretches deeper into the foliage, hinting at a larger footprint for the attraction than initially anticipated.
From our vantage point, we’ve observed steady progress in the area dedicated to the Coco experience. Construction kicked off in January 2026, as reported earlier (https://wdwnt.com/2026/01/beginning-of-coco-attraction-construction-at-disney-california-adventure/), and the site has been a hive of activity ever since. The wood perimeter fence, which we first noted expanding in late February (https://wdwnt.com/2026/02/perimeter-fence-panels-going-up-around-coco-ride-at-disneyland-resort/), now parallels the backstage road off Disneyland Drive. Interestingly, this road might be demolished as part of the ride’s development—a bold move that could reshape the park’s layout.
Orange webbing extends beyond the fence, suggesting that more construction is on the horizon. Meanwhile, the initial stages of plant removal and the temporary construction buildings remain unchanged. Extra wooden slats stacked near the gate entrance hint at future fence extensions, ensuring the site remains secure as work progresses. Notably, the fence is expected to be completed before the Coco attraction’s construction begins in earnest.
Now, let’s talk about the Coco attraction itself. Disney has kept details under wraps, but here’s what we know: guests will join Miguel on a journey through the Land of the Dead, complete with the movie’s beloved music and Audio-Animatronic skeletal characters. Concept art suggests this will be a boat ride, blending storytelling and immersive theming—a formula Disney does best. But here’s where it gets controversial: while fans are thrilled, some wonder if the attraction will capture the film’s emotional depth or if it’ll lean more toward entertainment than storytelling. What do you think?
