We’ve seen some pretty funny issues with animatronics at Disney World in the past year!
From Elsa forgetting the words to her signature song and Anna’s face disappearing to John’s hand falling off on Carousel of Progress, it seems that no Disney animatronic is safe from malfunctions! EPCOT’s Gran Fiesta Tour hasn’t been immune to these issues — José was missing back in July. Last week, the ride encountered another animatronic issue, and today we’ve got an update!
Last week, we noticed that the Donald Duck animatronic from the final scene of the ride had been replaced by none other than a PLANT! Really? Did Disney think we wouldn’t notice?
Honestly, this swap for the “understudy” made us laugh uncontrollably.

But, when we boarded the ride today, plant Donald was no more! Maybe he called in sick today?
We’ll keep an eye out to see if any other foliage gets their moment in the spotlight.
