@Zip I agree with you wholeheartedly, Coco is most definitely a shoe-in for the next KH game, due to the themes the film (remembrance, death, etc.) had and Héctor interactions with Kairi so he can reach his daughter Coco.
It's likely that the story for the Coco world and the first for and Pixar-based world in the KH series is that it could be a prequel to the original movie where Kairi ends up in the land of the dead trying to find her way back to look for Sora and she encounters Hector who also wants to cross the bridge to reach Coco, which can also tie into Kairi's character development.
Besides the connection of Family (la Familia), Remembrance and memory which were the themes of the original movie and could connect with Kairi's character development and the KH plot, the alebrijes could be another important story plot connection for the world cause in the original film they are meant to be spirit guides to their owners and their families such as Dante and Pepita. What if there were alebrijes that became corrupted and turns itself into a Heartless or Nightmare Dream Eater and actually do the opposite? I could so imagine the world culminated with either a Heartless or Dream Eater boss based on the Mexican deity, Quetzalcoatl with Kairi riding on Pepita and battling the boss in the vein of Sora riding on Baymax and the Magic Carpet.
But hey, I'm very excited on how Pixar and Square Enix will come up with the new story for a world based on Coco. Another interesting thing to note is that apparently Jason Katz who worked on the Toy Story movies and was one of the consultants with the Toy Story world in Kingdom Hearts III also worked on Coco, plus Jason, Adrian Molina and some of the people who worked on the movie could serve as consultants giving notes to the Nomura and his team regarding on the Coco level. Coco definitely screams Kingdom Hearts level from both the environment, the story, the alebrijes and potential boss, so I'm very excited to see Square recreate it as a level.
Spoiler Show
I also would like to see Dante again. Even if he is more attached to Miguel (as he was the one who named him) he does reside in the Land of the Dead and maybe his encounter and curiosity with Kairi could somewhat mirror his relationship he had with Miguel in the film.
I also think Inside Out would be another Pixar film that can work for this new game, given that portions of the film do focus on emotions, memories and dreams.

I'm hoping that Melody of Memory is the next concert tour for next year.
That isn't how the concert logos are designed, though.
For me at least the first game in the next saga was always going to be the more exciting then Xehanort's backstory. Especially since Xehanort is already dead and gone.
I'm ambivalent for Xehanort's backstory, but knowing Nomura he's going to do everything in his power to make something relevant from DR into the future of Kingdom Hearts. Considering he likes Xehanort far more than the protagonist of his own series.
Now i'm wondering how many worlds will be in this and how many of em will be new. I was gonna say this has to be a console title if they were considering a cgi property then i remembered they even put Ralph in union so..yeah lol

Who can say, but I'm hoping that the number of Disney worlds isn't in the same level as Dream Drop Distance or Kingdom Hearts III's amount.

Maybe it will be Kairi / Demyx / Xion. Kairi leads the team of melody (Demyx) and memory (Xion) to find Sora?
Nor do I think that, from an operational point of view, Square Enix is even considering concerts, what with social distancing measures being recommended for will over 12, 18 months.
Unless, of course, you make an argument for a digital orchestra

Well there is already a bunch of post with Kairi, Namine, and Xion as Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. It's quite popular on the net. Maybe they'll have a mission to give Larxene a back massage. That can be a rhythm game XD
If I can once more just address the Kairi not being interesting enough to lead a game, I would like to remind everyone she is still a PoH. One of a handful of people in the universe who was born with no darkness in them. Whatever else that means (and seriously, what does it mean?) she's a freak of nature, someone who has to go through life with this remarkable uniqueness about her that almost no one else can understand. And maybe she doesn't understand it herself. On top of all that, it's led her entire life to be disrupted. She's been abducted multiple times by people who just want to use her a magic object, and Sora's sacrificed himself twice now to save her. How does she adjust to living with this burden? So much potential there for feelings of guilt, insecurity, identity complexes, all that good stuff. This is KH dammit, Kairi should have her own existential crisis like everyone else.
Like I said, in the hands of competent (and interested) writers, there's a lot to mine there. Otherwise they probably will just end up relegating her to some dinky mobile game, which would be a shame to me because let's face it, there's a strong chance Kairi's only gonna get one game. After all this time that'd just be meh.

I think the story of Frozen 2 makes too much sense for it not to be utilized at some point, and I think it makes the most sense for Kairi’s journey to find Sora. Sora abusing the Power of Waking and the ramifications of that almost perfectly shadow Elsa’s journey to Ahtohallan where she “goes too far” and winds up frozen herself. I would love to see Kairi accompany the sisters - and eventually get shipped off with Anna and Olaf when Elsa decides to go on her own. I think Kairi could learn a lot, especially from Anna.
Before Re:MIND(when we all thought only Sora and Riku would star in DDD Volume 2) I might have totally given up on Kairi.
But now that we know Kairi is co starring with the boys I'm actually way more optimistic. In a way it's correcting the biggest mistake of the original Dream Drop Distance

I think Kairi's problem has always been that her movements in the story have always been very restricted due to the plot that was happening around her. She was only capable of being present for three games, and in all three for one reason or another she's been quarantined from the rest of the cast.
Now that we have a fresh start in the new saga, and Sora's MIA, there's huge potential to make Kairi a more proactive character and recapture the cheeky, irreverent and adventurous girl she originally was. That side of her was put on the back burner in KHIII but I think now's a good time to bring it back.
Also if we could like recast her English actress because Stoner really ain't doin' it for me man
