Concrete Poured for Encanto Attraction Show Building in Disney’s Tropical Americas
The magic is setting in concrete at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Construction crews have officially poured the first major slab for the Encanto-themed attraction inside the upcoming Tropical Americas area, marking a major milestone as the new land continues to rise where DinoLand U.S.A. once stood.

New aerial photos by @bioreconstruct reveal smooth, freshly poured concrete for what appears to be part of the show building’s maintenance area, as workers operate power trowels to finish the surface. Additional forms, walls, and vertical columns are already in place, showing the project’s rapid progress just weeks after construction went vertical.
The size of the structure is striking — one of the aerials shows a tractor-trailer parked nearby for scale, and the footprint dwarfs it completely. It’s clear this will be a massive indoor attraction, likely housing the “Casa Madrigal” experience inspired by Disney’s 2021 hit film Encanto shown in the promotional art for the land.

Disney filed detailed South Florida Water Management District plans earlier this year that outlined the full Tropical Americas layout. Those documents revealed the Encanto attraction as the southern anchor of the new land, paired with an Indiana Jones adventure in the reimagined DINOSAUR show building. The area will also feature lush pathways, new dining, and expanded theming inspired by Central and South American landscapes.
