Confirmed: ‘Encanto’-Themed Attraction Taking Over EPCOT

Encanto has quickly become one of the most popular movies and franchises inside The Walt Disney Company, and it’s only a matter of time before we see more of it at EPCOT.

EPCOT, which is known for its immersive look at Walt Disney’s original idea for the community of tomorrow, is home to many iconic and beloved attractions, including Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, Journey Into Imagination with Figment, Soarin’ Around the World, Living with the Land, and Spaceship Earth. The Disney World park is divided into four neighborhoods: World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Showcase.

While you can enjoy the attractions above– and many more– year-round, there are others that only come for a limited time of the year. Many of these come from the festivals at EPCOT, which include the International Festival of the Arts, the International Festival of the Holidays, and the International Flower & Garden Festival, which is currently going on from now until May 27, 2024.

If you’re visiting EPCOT currently, you’ll want to wait around until closer to dark to see the Encanto-themed take over on Spaceship Earth at Walt Disney World Resort. The show was a popular hit last year in its debut, and it’s now back for a limited time. You can view the full show below:
