Disney4me Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Is it just us, or has 2023 just been FILLED with exciting news and hints from Disney? Cinderella Castle We’re already starting 2024 off with a bang — the Disney Dining Plan is returning, all-day park hopping will also make a comeback, and park pass reservation requirements are disappearing for most ticketed visitors. Not to mention, exciting new additions are coming to the parks in 2024 — from CommuniCore Hall and Plaza in EPCOT to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom. Speaking of new park additions, though, we got a glimpse at some things that Disney plans to add to the parks. One of the things we’re most excited about? The new land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! At the D23 fan convention in September, Disney shared that DinoLand U.S.A. in Animal Kingdom would undergo a re-theme, which will potentially include elements inspired by the Tropical-Americas and the Disney films that take place there — like Encanto. Concept art for DinoLand expansion ©Disney The concept art shown at the convention featured concept art with a house that looked super familiar to Casita in Encanto, and this same concept art was shown on a special edition of 20/20 — titled “Disney100: A Century of Dreams.” It’s the same concept art! You’re probably thinking, “So what? We’ve already seen this.” Well, for Disney to air this concept art on 20/20 and share details, we have a feeling that this theming could be more official than Disney previously hinted. Casita Even Lin Manuel-Miranda made an appearance on the show, exclaiming, “I want to go inside Casita, don’t you? I don’t even know what that would look like, but some genius imagineer does!” Lin Manuel-Miranda So, we think this could be a BIG hint and maybe even subtle confirmation that this is the direction that Disney plans to take with the area. Of course, we don’t know for certain, and things could always change, but we don’t think they’d share an idea on live television unless they had some pretty sturdy plans in their back pocket. Could ‘Encanto’ really be coming to Animal Kingdom? We’ll just have to wait and see!
