If you were one of the many whose hearts were stolen by the Madrigal family at the release of Disney’s Encanto, then it’s quite the time to be alive!
Mirabel!
Soon, Mirabel will greet guests at Magic Kingdom’s Fairytale Garden where Merida once greeted guests, and Bruno will officially join the Adventure Friends Cavalcade. We’re so excited about the two new additions to Magic Kingdom, but some news from Disney has us wondering if there’s more in store…
Disney posted a casting call for Disney Character Look-alikes for the role of Luisa — Mirabel’s strong and resilient older sister! In the casting call, Disney noted that the role is for potential future special events, which could mean the Halloween and Christmas parties as well as runDisney events.
Luisa
Disney World is seeking “energetic and expressive” candidates who are 5’10” to 6’1″ in height. Disney describes Luisa to be “sensitive, and giving… proud to shoulder the weight of her family’s burdens.”
