First Look Inside the New Encanto Attraction
Step behind the construction walls to see this first ever view of the new Encanto attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Encanto Construction
One thing that Walt Disney disliked was distractions that entered the sightline of Disneyland. He wanted Guests to escape from the everyday concerns and be immersed in lands of magic, wonder, and adventure.
However, Walt Disney also never wanted Disneyland to be complete, which means all Disney Parks "Keep moving forward." This is, in fact, the current state of Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Last month, the Encanto attraction went vertical and became fully visible to Guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

While much of the work has been hidden behind construction walls, it is great to finally see how much work has been completed.
