And what does that have to do with AK?

Ugh! I have been completely pulled down into the WDW rumor mill rabbit hole again. This happened after 7DMT started way back when. I am a sucker for park expansions, changes, etc. lol
Having been perusing Disney sites, I am beginning to wonder (hope) that the Tropical Americas addition isn’t the only change happening at this park.
I am also starting to change my thoughts regarding the addition of this part of the world to this park. DAK is again a half day park. This park needs more experiences to carry it into the evening. A land more dedicated to the cultures of this part of the world will be effective at doing that. It is providing 3 rides that people can go rain or no rain. I would bet that the food offerings here will be DAK caliber additions. I would also contend that the atmosphere people experience in the main thoroughfare of Harambe will be present here. It will offer a more celebratory vibe and reason to be in this park after the sun sets.
Also, I wouldn’t be shocked that if along with the Tropical Americas expansion , a new night time show is announced (again) for this park. Drones would work well here. They could develop a real carnival-like atmosphere in this park. And I am also of the belief that there is going to be more added beyond Tropical Americas. I’m seeing talk of another new (not redo) big ticket attraction.

If it wasn't for the enduring popularity and significance of the Safari to both guest satisfaction and capacity, I could see them doing this in the long term.

So? I’m not saying I agree with Encanto being at DAK, but it how it fits depends on the execution of the attraction not the plot of the movie. While I’m leery to be optimistic, it’s entirely possibly to build an Encanto attraction that works well in DAK especially if they go heavy on Antonio’s room/powers and/or they perhaps expand the Madrigal family’s commitment to not only helping the citizens of their village but also to supporting the local environment.

If we only have the stipulation of “movies about conservation,” then I guess Wall-E land should be coming to Animal Kingdom!!
I shan't believe she's a Disney Villain until I see her fall to her death!!Encanto doesn’t belong in animal kingdom because it’s not actually about animals or conservation.
It’s about a crazy bitter old lazy who subjects her grandchildren to indentured servitude so that people will respect her.
And when one of them dares speak up about it, she turns him into the Ratman from Portal.
Most insidious Disney villain ever.
There's only two Internet sources I believe in (after several years of tracking the records of so-called insiders), and that is a handful of folk on this forum, and Scott Gustin on XTwitter.
Yes, some people get actual tidbits of inside information, but it doesn't make up for how much they get wrong trying to sell their assumptions as reality for the click$$ as they try to whip up 'content' on a regular basis.

Potentially with 3 rides, with a total net gain of 0 - Replacing Primeval Whirl, Dinosaur spinner, Dinosaur
that’s the problem
Redo/retheme the dinosaur area and ride to make it more popular and sell more merch, and then expand the park in a different area to add additional attractions to help make it more of a full day park.

Time will tell I suppose. I shall remain positive in this. I am always bullish on this park

Watched Encanto again for the first time in a while with the kids today. Some flaws, but it holds up a lot better than other recent offerings - it’s a modern classic, in my opinion.
As to whether or not it’s a good fit for AK, it depends on how they approach it. If it’s just a book report attraction, then no. But if it’s a new story, like “Antonio’s animals are loose in the house, we need to round them up!” then it could.

Well I just rode Dinosaur and the ride looks the best it has in awhile. All the animatronics were working but not up to full animation though. At least the ride is still getting love.

Story trope, Antonio is missing, animals are running around the house and we encounter various members of the family and the animals trying to find him.

Said war in the film is being fought over the defense of natural resources and the destruction of ecosystems. It is a cautionary tale of how greed and disregard for the power of nature can ultimately be one's downfall. This is made abundantly clear in the film, the land, and the attractions built.

It surely can't be the bus line.... The time wasted getting to the bus area and waiting, and the miserable on-board experience kind of cement that...for me anyway...

She’s rather old and the stairways in La Casa Madrigal are perilous. So I have high hopes for the sequel.

that may actually be part of the new ride after budget cuts. You board a vehicle, they shove you down a flight of stairs, and then you end in a gift shop.

She does get redeemed in the end though.
And Wall-E would actually be a great fit, if it was implemented right. Say there was a mini-land that was set in the years after the movie in which plants are starting to grow again and humans are re-learning how to care for them.
