A Good Attraction, Worth A Moderate Wait
Join the Three Caballeros (Panchito Pistoles, Jose Carioca, and Donald Duck) on a boat tour of the sights and sounds of Mexico in this ride for the whole family. Located inside the Mexico Pavilion building, head down the stairs and to the left of the restaurant. Usually, lines are very short. Guests board boats that travel at a slow and leisurely pace.
The Three Caballeros have a concert, but Donald has gone missing! It’s up to Panchito and Jose to search throughout Mexico to find Donald. At the start of the ride, projected video portraying Donald’s adventures through Mexico blends into the environment. Then boats travel through a Small World-esque portion featuring animated dolls. Being a family friendly boat ride with music and dolls, this is definitely reminiscent of It’s A Small World, but it is a bit smaller in scope.
