Chief Creative Officer Jared Bush Teases New Encanto Attraction at Disney World

Overview

  • New aerials and on-site photos show foundation work underway and a tower crane installed for the Encanto attraction in the forthcoming Tropical Americas land.
  • Disney has confirmed heavy machinery is on site as construction walls and guest detours reshape the former DinoLand U.S.A. area.
  • The first-ever Encanto ride will occupy a footprint between the DINOSAUR show building and the Finding Nemo theater, according to site reporting.
  • Jared Bush disclosed he is writing brand-new lines for the experience, indicating purpose-built audio rather than recycled film dialogue.
  • The Encanto attraction is positioned as a headliner for a 2027 debut of Tropical Americas, with the DINOSAUR ride expected to close in early 2026 for an Indiana Jones retheme.
