Get ready for a magical adventure as Walt Disney Imagineering takes us behind the scenes of their upcoming Encanto attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom!
The Magic Unveiled
In a recent development, Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a permit for the installation of set elements at the highly anticipated Encanto attraction. This exciting news hints at a significant step forward in the construction process, moving beyond the structural phase and into the interior fit-out.
But here's where it gets intriguing: the permit reveals that a company called Scenario will be handling the installation. While not a frequent collaborator with Walt Disney Imagineering, Scenario has previously worked on the latest version of Test Track at EPCOT, showcasing their expertise in creating immersive show sets, props, and animated figures.
For the Encanto ride, guests will step into the enchanting world of the Madrigal family. Imagine walking through the iconic Casita, exploring the magical home on the day young Antonio receives his extraordinary gift - the ability to communicate with animals. It's a celebration of Latin American culture and storytelling, bringing the beloved film to life in a whole new way.
The main show building is already well underway, with the steel framework and roof in place. Crews are now focusing on the queue area, ensuring a seamless guest experience from the moment they arrive.
And this is the part most people miss: Tropical Americas, the 11-acre expansion that houses the Encanto attraction, is a Latin American-inspired paradise. It features a new Indiana Jones adventure set within a Mayan temple, an animal-themed carousel, and the charming Pueblo Esperanza, a town with an open-air market and a vibrant quick-service restaurant.
With construction progressing smoothly, we can expect to step into this magical world at Disney's Animal Kingdom in 2027.
