They react and interact with the scenes, blurring the lines between ride and character, creating a truly immersive environment. This attention to detail showcases Disney's commitment to bringing the film's spirit to life in a way that feels authentic and engaging.
Inside the Casita's Enchanted Rooms
Guests will be treated to a journey through the Madrigal house, culminating in Antonio's room, transformed into a lush Colombian rainforest teeming with wildlife. With over 50 authentic animal species, the attraction showcases the region's biodiversity. Imagineers have even created new rooms, expanding the Encanto universe and offering a fresh perspective on the film's world.
A Reunion with Familiar Voices
The original voice actors, including Stephanie Beatriz, Jessica Darrow, and Diane Guerrero, are returning to lend their talents to the attraction. Their presence adds a layer of authenticity and nostalgia, bringing the characters to life in a new and exciting way. Jessica Darrow's description of the project as a natural fit highlights the seamless integration of the film's energy into this physical experience.

A Tropical Americas Adventure
Part of the larger Tropical Americas land, this attraction will be joined by Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, offering a diverse range of experiences.
