The script is nearly finished, and the recording is almost complete! Co-director Jared Bush shared the exciting update, saying: “Almost done recording our entire original cast. Being back in the booth with everyone is the absolute best!” This confirms that the entire stellar lineup—including Stephanie Beatriz (Mirabel), John Leguizamo (Bruno), Jessica Darrow (Luisa), Maluma (Mariano), and the rest of the Madrigal family—is officially returning for the new attraction.
Construction on the Encanto attraction is rapidly progressing, with the structure going vertical. This progress, coupled with the near-completion of the original cast recordings, suggests the ride is on track for its projected 2027 opening! The new attraction will anchor the park’s Tropical Americas land (replacing DinoLand U.S.A.).
Guests will step inside Casita—with ride vehicles inspired by the house’s animated furniture—on the day Antonio receives his gift. The journey will take riders deep into Antonio’s jungle room, where they will encounter beloved characters like Mirabel and Bruno, extending the magic beyond the film’s original story.
The new land will also feature thrilling adventures, including an Indiana Jones ride, which is confirmed to be a re-imagining of the existing DINOSAUR attraction. Additionally, guests can look forward to a whimsical carousel located in the fictional village of Pueblo Esperanza.
