About this Ride

Antonio's Fiesta de Encanto is the first ride-through attraction based on Encanto at any Disney park, anchoring the new Tropical Americas land, the village of Pueblo Esperanza, which replaces DinoLand U.S.A. Disney confirmed the name at D23 on August 15, 2026 and said the attraction will have no height requirement. Guests are invited into the Casita to celebrate Antonio's gift of talking to animals, and explore his room after it transforms into a rainforest. The 11 acre land draws on the northern reaches of South America, Central America and parts of Mexico, developed after Imagineering research trips to Colombia and Honduras. The land opens in 2027.
