He got Covid.

He got Covid.

Yep. This is precisely why WDW needs to close down. Kids shouldn't be traumatized by seeing how bad COVID can get, taking these guys down.

Need to lay off the tequila there, Jose...

 

[Dan Murphy]

Must have been taken to the animatronic hospital, now a bouquet of flowers where he once was.

Jose is Brazillian, so it was probably Cachaca.

I thought alcohol kills Covid.

(Well, that's my theory, anyway. So far, so good. )

Man we rode it the night before he fell. Must have had a rough night.

Thanks for the laugh. For some reason this struck me as incredibly funny.

Are those carnations? They are usually used for funeral flowers.

Maybe Jose will be in Coco sequel?

 

[KayMichigan]

They're probably marigolds, which is what is associated with the Day of the Dead, I think.

I had a good laugh over this.

Now we know why it's such an effort to wake up Jose in the Enchanted Tiki Room -- "My hangovers are getting longer and longer!"

 

[KayMichigan]

Jose is back at the Gran Fiesta Tour!

Jose is back at the Gran Fiesta Tour!

Great news! Welcome back, Jose.

Wow, 10 days. That was some bender. Although, I've heard tequila is the worst for hangovers.

He's back, but not 100 percent. His mouth and head are not moving properly. I hope they don't let him go the way of the yeti and leave him that way...he is a great animatronic character.

They can put a strobe light on him and then no one will ever notice anything amiss.
