PHOTOS! Donald Duck Was Swapped with a…Plant (Huh?) on a Disney World Ride!

By Kelly Oliveros 1 Comment

We’ve spotted some surprising things on Disney rides, like an unexpected character on “it’s a small world” or Anna without a face on Frozen Ever After.

Gran Fiesta Tour

Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros in EPCOT’s Mexico pavilion has also had its fair share of unique situations. Just last year, one of the Caballeros went missing(!!) and just a pile of flowers stood in his place! Eventually our feathered friend returned, but today ANOTHER one of the Caballeros has gone missing and you won’t BELIEVE what replaced him.

A huge thank you to our reader Lauryn Smith (@laurynnnsmith on Instagram) who shared these photos with us. When Lauryn rode Gran Fiesta Tour recently, someone was missing. This time it wasn’t Jose, instead it was Donald Duck who had disappeared from the stage. But, no need to worry — his understudy was ready to step in and play the lead role.

Donald Duck is Missing!

Introducing, Mr. Donald Plant! He can’t sing or flap any wings, but he probably only had a few seconds to get ready for his lead role, give him a break!

Donald Duck Was Replaced By…A Plant?!

We’re not exactly sure why Donald was missing from the ride today, but we’ll definitely keep an eye out for more updates on that. How long will Mr. Donald Plant have the chance to perform in Donald’s place? We’re don’t know, but he’ll always be a star in our eyes.
