Exciting changes are underway at Disney California Adventure, and the buzz is all about the upcoming Coco attraction! But here's where it gets intriguing: the perimeter wood fencing around 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 surrounding foliage, hinting at a larger footprint than initially anticipated.
From our vantage point, we’ve observed steady progress since construction began in January 2026. The wooden fence, which parallels the backstage road off Disneyland Drive, has grown significantly since our last update on February 26, 2026. Interestingly, that road might eventually 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 even more construction is on the horizon. Meanwhile, plant removal and temporary construction buildings remain unchanged, though extra wood slats near the gate entrance hint at future fence expansions.
Here’s the kicker: the fence will be completed before the Coco attraction itself begins to take shape. But here’s where it gets controversial—while Disney has kept details under wraps, concept art suggests it’ll be a boat ride, taking guests on a journey with Miguel into the Land of the Dead. Fans are already debating whether this will rival classics like Pirates of the Caribbean or bring something entirely new to the table. What’s certain is that iconic music and Audio-Animatronic skeletal characters will play a starring role.
