DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

[Gusey]

I did a blog post that looked at the SFWMD filings for Tropical Americas, and then made some educated guesses about where and what everything is. Here's the end result map:

I think that the part labelled "New Indy Covered/Indoor Queue" is the Dinosaur extended queue? It just hasn't been used much in the past

They aren't wasting any time with this project I guess.

Its about time since Primeval Whirl has been closed since 2019....

I'm a little disappointed that there are no featured animals, and "Tropical Americas" ecology will likely only be represented in the attraction queues, if at all. At least you could squint really hard and see the conservation message in Pandora, this... they have some work to do.

Where's the DVC kiosk?

It is. But Disney drew it differently in the two separate SFWMD filings, so I think it's going to be fully covered.

Oh good. You had me worried.

I find the mayan playground area so interesting because 1. That sounds so cool and well positioned I don't know why Disney hasn't released concept art for it and 2. It could be food carts or something else like show. Personally I've been saying move the UP bird show here

You don't have it labelled, but what is the blue box in the current Triceratops Spin footprint?

I’m guessing food or retail.

Probably retail. The area feels rather light on shopping options. (/obvious sarcasm)

I’m not seeing enough Star Wars merchandise carts.

You know what? That is what has been missing from this area all long - Star Wars merchandise. Now they just can't skimp on the amount of SW merch available for purchase and everything will be great. 6 or 7 SW merchandise carts ought to do the trick. But there could be fights breaking out, though, between all the people clamoring for Encanto merchandise and all the people wanting SW merchandise.

All I’m going to say is that if I can’t buy a BB-8 plushie 10yds away from the entrance to Antonio Banderas’ Animal Mishmash Spin-A-Round Galore, or whatever the hell it’s called, the magic will truly be ruined.

This is the sort of thing that really isn’t worth reporting. Very few projects get through any permitting without comment and revision. It’s the sort of thing people boast about. It’s almost like reporting that a delivery was stopped at a red light.

It's important to post *here* for those who believe no updates means it's canceled.

I’m sure this has been discussed earlier in this thread, and if so I apologize, but is there any word on what kind of ride Encanto is? It looks like a boat ride in the concept art.

I’m guessing traditional tracked ride.
