Well maybe they will tear out something else to put in an "Event Lawn" or "Flex Space" so the kids have someplace to run around....

To return to a topic that we started discussing but faded away...
What are insiders' thoughts on the scale of the Encanto attraction? Is this an Avenger's Campus situation where the e-ticket is the Dinosaur re-theme and Encanto is a C or D, or are we expecting Encanto to be a truly major attraction?
My sense is the latter, considering (a) the show building's size in the model as discussed earlier in this tread, (b) the overall scale of the land's re-theme, and (c) the extent to which they're seeking to bump DAK's attendance.

My prediction is Encanto will be the scale of Little Mermaid in MK, Encanto itself will be a draw for families so they don’t need to make it jaw dropping, and Indy is their E ticket

I'm guessing that Encanto is an E ticket, that show building is massive.

Leaning towards a very good D ticket rn. Maybe an E?
Shocked Rio and UP didn't make the cut for this land at all.

Has there been any word on the Nemo show? Surely it doesn't fit in Tropical Americas, and Up could make for a really great show. They already have the Kevin costume.

Have a feeling 2026 could see a Nemo show replacement? Otherwise there will be about two years of dinoland closing with nothing new to draw visitors to DAK (aside from ZOOTOPIA next winter.)

Are we 100% certain there isn't a "Blu" figure on the carousel? It would/could be a subtle/logical place to get some of the Blue Sky characters into the park. Personally, I'm hoping to see a Kuzco llama on the carousel... really not sure how else they could incorporate Rio, Up, and/or Emperor's New Groove into Animal Kingdom (other than some smaller/subtle nods). (though I do love @lentesta's idea of the Emperor's New Groove themed llama enclosure...)

I’ve never seen a show that wasn’t packed, which I admit is completely anecdotal. Maybe it’s always crowded during the hottest hours of the day

Primeval whirl was 900 per hour
Winnie the Pooh at MK is 850.
So depends on the ride system.
It will be interesting how zootopia does in comparison. It’s a newer IP and with a sequel coming out it’s certainly more fresh but it’s still a “3d show in the tree” - Will guests see it as something new?
They want to advertise new attractions and new IP without increasing the operations expenses. The problem is, that doesn’t grow capacity for the park so it doesn’t solve some pretty big issues.

Most of Magic Kingdom's lands would disagree I think. Plus World Discovery and Sunset Boulevard.

An UP show could work well there if Disney wanted to invest into extending Tropical Americas. Or maybe we get a bit of a wild card with a Emperors New Groove show. That would make some of the diehards pretty happy.

Lol I know they DID make lands with more than one headliner. But they DON'T currently. Maybe this will be the sole outlier to that trend. I just wouldn't bet on it.

Toy Story Land has two e tickets. Granted one of them was already there but this is kind of the same situation. Indy is already there in the form of dinosaur.

I still feel like beastly kingdom isn’t completely dead.
I just get the sense that there are only so many animal/alien theme you can do before they run out.
A magical creature land with unicorns and dragons would be a hit with the age demographic Disney caters to.

Toy Story Land has zero E-tickets. It has two D-tickets, one of which existed before TSL.
Indy does not already exist in the form of Dinosaur. TSMM already existed and merely continued to exist after TSL. Indy will be a new attraction that opens with the Tropical Americas land, utilizing the infrastructure of Dinosaur, which will cease existing once they begin Indy's construction.
Disney's formula for a new land at this point includes one E-ticket. If that. The new DAK land may be an exception to that rule, seeing as Indy is just a retheme, BUT Indy seems to be a pretty large scale retheme and I wouldn't bet on Encanto being an E-ticket too. Might be, but I'd temper your expectations if you're excited about it.
