While we were hopeful for the return of The Story of Coco, a limited-time offering that dates back to 2019, we are happy to see that Miguel will make an appearance at Epcot. The only other place to see him in the parks is during the Adventure Friends Cavalcade at Magic Kingdom. Here are a few photos of the former puppetry offering for history’s sake. The performance included dancers and an incredible Miguel puppet interacting with the crowd.

If you’re visiting Epcot during this time, make sure to take in a Mariachi Cobre performance. You might have the opportunity to see Miguel. Of course, Mariachi Cobre is always worth seeing year-round. You can find their daily showtimes listed in the entertainment section of the My Disney Experience app.
