The Rare Disney Character We Did NOT Expect To See Today!

ICYMI, Disneyland Resort officially reopens its theme parks to California residents on Friday!!!

So pretty… sigh

Today, we were able to attend a preview of the reopening so we’ve been taking you with us to check out what a reopened Disneyland looks like. We saw if there were any changes to Rise of the Resistance here, and we showed you the return of Disneyland Mickey beignets, churros, and the famous Monte Cristo!

While we were exploring the park for the first time in over a year, there were many classic characters out and about like Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and several princesses. But, there was one character we passed that we were equally excited and shocked to see!

It was Miguel from Disney and Pixar’s Coco!

Miguel! Long time no see!

Miguel was waving to guests as they walked by, and it certainly put a smile on our face today! He was on a platform with tons of colorful flags from the movie above him.

Love seeing Miguel in Disneyland! pic.twitter.com/5O6ZvpYBHz

In Disney World, we’ve only seen Miguel in puppet form for The Story of Coco (which is not currently running), but he was in the Magic Happens Parade in Disneyland! Even though the parade is not happening right now, it is good to see this character in the parks. We’ll continue to bring you updates from Disneyland and we’ll take you with us live on reopening day so stay tuned!
