40 Disney Attractions: 30

"¿Dónde está Donald?"



30. Gran Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros

World Showcase's Mexico pavilion is a pretty interesting venue. Modeled on a Mesoamerican pyramid, the outside is merely a facade for the huge colonial marketplace that sits inside, always under the night sky.

Prior to 2007, Mexico had a ride that was a cute, if plain, boat ride through the country called El Rio del Tiempo. This was a thing for 25 years until someone at Disney realized that they had their own Latin American cartoon characters to use. Their really awesome Latin American cartoon characters that they never use ever and really really should more often.

Preparing to put on a show for the guest, Jose Carioca the Brazilian parrot and Panchito Pistoles the Mexican rooster have discovered that their third member, Donald Duck, has gone missing. Using Panchito's flying serape, the duo travel across Mexico searching for the sightseeing Donald, before finally catching him doing what he does best(aside from getting angry or sounding like he's got a popcorn kernel stuck in his throat): trying to hit on some hot babes. Donald really loves babes. With the Three Caballeros together again, they finally perform their open air concert beneath a myriad of fireworks.

Short and sweet, the Gran Fiesta Tour is a simple quick ride that's just pretty cute and fun. Plus it has the Three Caballeros and they are the best.
