Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros

The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros is an attraction at Epcot's World Showcase at the Mexico pavilion. Based on The Three Caballeros, it is an update of the former El Rio del Tiempo attraction.

Development
A Three Caballeros inspired update to the Mexico Pavilion's boat ride was a long persisting rumor since the early 2000s. Eventually in 2006, El Rio del Tiempo was closed down for the long rumored change. New footage was shot and the new animation for the attraction would be directed by Eric Goldberg.

Attraction Summary
Departing from the docks and going past a Mayan pyramid, the attraction begins with José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles introducing themselves with music and realizing that Donald has gone astray. Not wanting to be late for their concert stop in Mexico City, they set off on the flying sarape to look for him. While they search for him, Donald Duck takes in the sites throughout the country. He visits Aztec Pyramids, goes boating, parasailing, cliff diving and scuba diving among other activities. Eventually, Panchito and Jose catch up to Donald at a Mariachi performance and have to pull him away from numerous girls in order to finally reach their concert, with the attraction ending with a performance of the Three Caballeros song. Guests go past a mural map inspired by the one that appears in the film before they unload at the dock the attraction began at.
