Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros is a classic boat ride attraction located in the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT, part of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The ride is a fun and family-friendly journey through Mexican culture and landmarks, featuring the beloved characters from Disney’s “The Three Caballeros” animated film.
The ride takes place inside the pyramid-shaped pavilion, where guests embark on a boat trip through the vibrant and colorful scenes that showcase the beauty and charm of Mexico. The adventure begins with a visit to a festive market, where various Mexican items and souvenirs are on display.
As the boat glides along the water, guests are treated to a delightful mix of animation and live-action scenes featuring Donald Duck, José Carioca, and Panchito Pistoles, collectively known as “The Three Caballeros.” These animated characters interact with the live-action background, creating a seamless and entertaining experience.
Throughout the ride, the Three Caballeros go on a whimsical and humorous adventure through some of Mexico’s most iconic landmarks, including the Aztec pyramids, the Mayan temples, and the beautiful beaches of Acapulco. The journey is accompanied by lively music and catchy songs, adding to the fun-filled atmosphere.
Gran Fiesta Tour is a great attraction for guests of all ages. It offers a blend of culture, humor, and Disney magic, making it an enjoyable and educational experience. The ride’s cheerful ambiance and catchy tunes ensure that guests leave with a smile on their faces.
One of the highlights of Gran Fiesta Tour is the grand finale, where the Three Caballeros perform a lively musical number, leaving guests with a sense of joy and wonder.
Since Gran Fiesta Tour is a classic ride and not a thrill attraction, it usually has a relatively short wait time. It’s a delightful addition to the cultural experiences available in EPCOT’s World Showcase and a wonderful way to learn more about Mexico’s traditions and folklore.
