We’re so excited to finally have an Encanto-themed attraction coming to Disney World, though we’ve still got many months to go before its planned debut in 2027.

The new ride, based on the family’s Casita, will be in the new Tropical Americas land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which is currently under construction at the former home of DinoLand, U.S.A. While we’re still waiting for an official opening date, we’re watching construction closely, but thanks to Instagram, we’ve got an update on what’s happening with the attraction OUTSIDE of the park!
Adassa, the voice of Dolores in Encanto, just recently shared a new post on Instagram confirming that she was in the recording studio working on vocals for a new Encanto project. While she wasn’t able to confirm what it’s for, other than the fact that she was recording with Walt Disney Imagineering and reprising her role as Dolores, we’ve got a strong feeling it could be for the new attraction!
Now, again, there’s been no confirmation of this, but considering the ride will need new vocals from the cast, and we could possibly only be about a year away from opening, we’re really hoping this is the ride taking another step towards opening.

While we still don’t know a whole ton about the new ride, we do know that the story of the ride takes place after Antonio receives his gift, allowing his room to transform into a lush rainforest. Guests will journey through the Casita itself, encountering members of the Madrigal family along the way, resulting in a story that expands on the film rather than simply retelling it. It also looks like the ride will be a boat attraction, meaning water will likely be involved.
