Disney4me Posted Tuesday at 07:06 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 07:06 PM Well, we got a LOT of information thrown at us REAL fast during the Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. We learned a LOT more about everything coming to Disney World, including Monstropolis in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well as Villains Land and Piston Peak in Magic Kingdom. ©Disney However, we also got some more details about Pueblo Esperanza coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, including more information about the three rides coming to the new land, including the new Encanto ride. Disney also dropped new concept art for the ride, and let’s just say we stared at it with a magnifying glass to see if we could spot any hidden clues. The new Encanto ride is called Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, and it will be an invitation to celebrate Antonio’s new magical gift, which is communicating with animals. We also learned that the voice actors from the animated film are returning to voice their characters on the ride, including Stephanie Beatriz, Jessica Darrow, and Diane Guerrero, playing the roles of Mirabel, Luisa, and Isabella. ©Disney When you step into La Casita, you’ll board a ride vehicle which will represent the different pieces of furniture assembled by the Casita’s magic to transport you around the house. You can see that represented in the concept art, which shows the vehicles going up a staircase. ©Disney But what else does this concept art tell us? Well, there are butterflies EVERYWHERE, as well as a lot of flowers, which suggests that Isabella’s magic is working here, too. There are also a lot of butterflies surrounding the ride vehicles. One thing we find extremely interesting is that the ride vehicles are going up a staircase. Why is that interesting? Well, Disney just recently filed a patent that would use practical effects to create the illusion of a ride vehicle rising and falling, and we now think that patent was filed JUST for this ride. If you look at the diagram from the patent, it’s almost identical to the concept art! ©U.S. Patent and Trademark Office So it seems like you won’t actually be going up the staircase at all, but Disney will be using Imagineering magic to make it seem like you’re going up instead. FASCINATING. ©U.S. Patent and Trademark Office There’s another thing we’ve noticed in this concept art. Now we’re not sure what this is, but there is some kind of figure hidden in shadows at the bottom left of the concept art. Who…or what… is this? Is this Bruno? It’s hard to tell exactly what this figure is, and it may be something else entirely, and we’re just TRYING to see Bruno (who we don’t talk about). But still…that’s interesting, right? But surely Bruno MUST be in La Casita somewhere… ©Disney So these are just a few details we spotted when looking at the concept art. We’ll be so curious about seeing more of this ride as work on it progresses, and we’ll share updates with you, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
