Disney’s D23 Expo took place this weekend in Anaheim, California and there were a TON of announcements made!

Outside the Expo
We got a new look at what the Splash Mountain re-theme will look like, a trailer for Hocus Pocus 2, a teaser for the live-action The Little Mermaid, news about the return of Happily Ever After in Disney World, and so much more. We also found out about an exciting event coming to California this year that Encanto fans are going to want to know about!
Encanto is coming to the Hollywood Bowl! Lin-Manuel Miranda virtually joined the cast of the film on stage at the Expo Saturday to share the news.

There they all are!
An immersive live-to-film concert experience of Encanto will be happening at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday, November 11th and Saturday, November 12th, 2022.

YAY!
Tickets will go on sale on Ticketmaster at 10AM PST on Thursday, September 2nd, but a pre-sale was available to people who attended Disney’s D23 Expo this past weekend.

So, you can basically listen to the music from Encanto LIVE! We know they’re gonna be talking about Bruno. 😉

If you’re a big Encanto fan, you will probably be interested to know that Disney shared a potential idea about putting an Encanto area in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. You can find out more about that right here.
