Encanto Presence in DW?

[MommyMouse143]

Good morning,

We are headed to DW Feb 21-26. I know I am not the only one with littles currently obsessed with Encanto! I saw DL recently had Maribel doing a character meet! Does anyone know if she is coming to DW? Or if so, where to find her?

Thanks!

I don't think there is much at WDW unfortunately. DL sometimes gets those special, limited meet and greets. You will likely find some merch, but that's about it I'm afraid.

The only thing I've seen so far is an Encanto themed mural at Animal Kingdom. There's also a fun kids activity to learn about the animals and wildlife in Colombia, where the movie takes place.

I don't believe there are characters in the park.

I could have sworn I saw a photo of an Encanto themed kiosk for food/beverage in EP. Maybe I dreamed that though? But, I have not seen evidence of any Encanto character sightings.

Maybe that was the new Luca murals you thought of–that is what popped into my head first!

There is one for Festival of the Arts - Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina. It is between France and Morocco.

There's a Mirabel meet and greet at Disney's California Adventure, or at least there was in November:

Maybe at some point they'll do the same at WDW, I guess it depends on demand.

Man, I wish. I (and the kids) love Encanto.

Epcot between Morocco & France is an Encanto inspired festival booth for festival of the arts however it will be over by original posters trip….on 1/9 we noticed a stage with an Encanto backdrop in the discovery island area of DAK that was barricaded by foliage much like some of the character sighting areas for the princesses in Epcot which was making us wonder

That was taken down by 1/16, as Viva Gaia returned to that stage and all Encanto decorations were removed.

My daughter did get a lovely Mirabel dress at World of Disney, but otherwise it was pretty slim pickins.

An Encanto themed food kiosk would be great! Imagine how many injuries CMs and guests would be able to avoid!

Well, Encanto is kind of a metaphor for the current state of the parks experience. Does that count?

Everything falling apart because the powers-that-be only see guests as "gift$" to be milked for profit?

I was thinking more like "loyal fans" destroying the magic by expecting the parks to forever remain this one ideal that may have only truly existed in their nostalgia-addled minds.

I think that both of these things can be at least partially true.

That's definitely a real thing, but it's also a bit hard to swallow in these days of "better for our waistline" cost-cutting/price increases.

Die-hard fans are too reflexively hostile to change AND Disney is milking guests for all they are worth while offering a worse/cheaper guest experience.

Encanto rules, though!

To the OP's point, I'll bet you could just tell the kids that Camilo is in the park, you just don't know who he's disguised as.

Ahh! That would be awesome! My 4 yo DS keeps saying he wants to see her when we go!

Heads up as a previous poster noted the reason the stage with the backdrop was sectioned off in animal kingdom is because the stage was being repurposed for a musical act

Um, we don't talk about Bruno.
