After being closed for just over two months, the Gran Fiesta Tour is scheduled to reopen at EPCOT in a matter of days!
The boat ride-style attraction, located inside the World Showcase’s massive, completely indoor Mexico Pavilion, has been shuttered since January 6th, when it was one of several Disney World attractions to close for refurbishment.
According to the Walt Disney World calendar, the Gran Fiesta Tour will reopen to guests on Saturday, March 15th.
The reopening is a big gain for the World Showcase, especially as far as crowd dispersal is concerned. The people-eating attraction should take some of the pressure off of Norway’s Frozen Ever After and France’s Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, the World Showcase’s other two rides, both of which see some of EPCOT’s longest average wait times on a daily basis.
While the current incarnation of the attraction — The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros — has been open since 2007, the bones of the ride go all the way back to EPCOT’s opening in 1982 when it was known as El Rio Del Tiempo.
After a refurbishment that lasted just over two months, EPCOT’s Gran Fiesta Tour is scheduled to reopen to guests this Saturday, March 15th. Stay tuned to DFB for more on the Walt Disney World calendar.
