In January, we were given our first peek behind the construction walls and inside the Encanto building. This attraction is going to be HUGE!

Last month, the Encanto attraction entered a new phase that will include set installation. A new permit is now filed at the address, 504 Dinoland Drive, which is the new location for the Encanto attraction.

The permit listed Scenario as the contractor for this work to install set elements. Scenario is best known for its work in creating Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and the Rise of the Resistance attraction.

Walt Disney World shared a new description for the Enanto attraction coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom.

"Guests will be invited to celebrate Antonio's new gift: the ability to talk to animals. And along the way, we'll learn that no matter what our special gifts or abilities are, we're all part of the 'familia' of all living things."

This is our first glimpse as to the storyline for this attraction, and we love it. It seems that it will integrate well with the other additions coming with the Tropical Americas playground and carousel.

Earlier we shared that Jared Bush, who co-directed and wrote Encanto, will be lending his talents to this first-ever Encanto attraction.

The first-ever Encanto attraction opens in 2027 at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

We love that new inspiration will come to this attraction and new dialogue as well. These two updates give us hope that "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow" for Disney's Animal Kingdom.

What do you think of this new Encanto attraction? Do you think the focus on Antonio's gift integrates with the theme of Disney's Animal Kingdom? Share your thoughts with us and share this news with your Disney pals.
