Disney4me Posted 21 hours ago Report Posted 21 hours ago We’re counting down to 2027 because there is so much coming to Disney World. One of those is Pueblo Esperanza, the Tropical Americas-themed land coming to Animal Kingdom. ©Disney This expansion will include three rides, with one focused on Encanto, where you can enter the Casita. Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde has something very interesting to say about the ride. On Instagram, Joe Rohde has been sharing a lot about the Tropical Americas. Rohde was a huge force behind Animal Kingdom, and while he isn’t leading these projects, we often turn to Imagineers like him for their thoughts. ©Disney Rohde was explaining how difficult it is to deliver plotlines in theme parks due to time constraints. Instead of 90 minutes to tell a storyline, you only have a few minutes, and audiences can look all over the place rather than in one direction on the movie screen. ©Disney He talked about how you can focus on a scene where riders already know the stakes, so they can just enjoy the action. The Encanto ride will be just like this. It’s going to focus on Antonio’s gift day, which is interesting because Antonio is a side character, and not one of the two guiding forces, Mirabel and Bruno. Rohde argues that without Antonio’s connection to animals, there would be no reason for Encanto to be in Animal Kingdom, since it’s about family and humans, whereas Animal Kingdom focuses on animals. Casita attraction ride vehicle models Antonio’s gift with animals makes sense for Animal Kingdom and has given them a platform to bring Encanto into the park. Rohde says, “But as stated by Joan Hartwig, Creative Executive over the project, Antonio’s gift opens up the theme of ‘family and extends it to include all the creatures around us. We are all one family. Animals included. And that is a good moral lesson for Disney’s Animal Kingdom.” Capybara! What do you think about this ride focusing on a side character vs a main one?
