Disney replaces Audio-Animatronics Caballeros with Cardboard Cutouts on Gran Fiesta Tour

Another change has come to the Gran Fiesta Tour in Epcot! The three Caballeros are together again, but not how you might expect.

Recently, the Donald Duck animatronic was removed after a malfunction. He was even replaced with a plant wearing a hat! Now, all three animatronics have been replaced by cardboard cutouts of the character.

The Jose animatronic had issues last summer and was removed for a period of time. It seems like these animatronics can really use a refurb! We hear they are being fixed and will soon return to the attraction.

We love seeing Donald, Jose, and Panchito in the final scene of Gran Fiesta Tour.
