News Walt Disney World casting for a new experience celebrating Encanto

[Stupido]

Worth keeping this mess running as long as they're still serving up those Arepas at Festival Favorites. The cheese one was one of the best bites of my last trip.

I don’t hate the show in a vacuum but I do hate the loud music destroying the vibe of the area 6 times a day.

I mean, I guess it's fine if it's keeping them from sticking Encanto in Italy or Soarin' or something, but this is such a weird thing for Epcot.

This is great news for the tens of people that actually will watch it.

So I guess this means that the festival celebration area won't be used for festivals?

 

[James Alucobond]

I wish they’d use this space for, like, Festival-related music that actually fits the vibe of the hub. The America Gardens Theatre already exists for Broadway-adjacent stuff. Put something chill in CommuniCore.

I don’t mind the Encanto show. What I do mind is that we were told Communicore stage/plaza would be for rotating seasonal acts to complement the ongoing festivals, and that… clearly is not the case.

That’s my thought too… the jammitors do a food and wine show don’t they? At least put them up there to make it feel like a festival!

Are they doing anything inside communicore for the food and wine?

In a new press release for Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month, Disney has confirmed ¡Celebración Encanto! has been extended, but did not put an end date:

It’s official, the limited time ¡Celebración Encanto! sing-along show has been extended so fans of the Walt Disney Studios film can dance, sing and celebrate with Bruno and Mirabel at CommuniCore Plaza Stage. Featuring beloved characters and songs from the film along with fun trivia to test guests’ knowledge of all things Encanto, the show runs several times a day and is perfect for amigos and familia to enjoy.

Curiously, in an email today noting happenings around Walt Disney World for Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month, Disney seems to be saying ¡Celebración Encanto! ends September 30.
