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

This project feels very 90s to me in a good way. A well-themed land not focused on a single IP with more than 2 attractions, majority of which won't have a height requirement (5 attractions if Nemo remains categorised in this section and we get the playground in addition to the 3 confirmed)
Except if it were made in the 1990s, it would actually be focused on animals instead of two IPs about humans. And the main attraction would probably be a cool Amazon-themed attraction.

I think it's pretty safe to say that animals will be the focus of the rides in some way, just using an IP as a vessel. I've said it before but Indiana Jones is the perfect IP to do this with. In a park that's so based upon the ideas of not just conservation, but our relationship with the natural world, they've yet to really explore the way in which animals have been deified in a lot of cultures around the world, and I would bet that's the approach that's being taken with Indy. Personally I find that a very exciting angle as it's one of the more fascinating glimpses into how humankind and the animal kingdom interact.

I'll believe it when I see it. Disney knows what people want from an Encanto ride, and it certainly isn't Mirabel talking about animals. I'd be shocked if they didn't have the characters sing "We Don't Talk About Bruno" at one point.

An...interesting development at the Fossil Fun Games.

They still have little triceratops, little Minnies, and both big Cementosauruses and igaunadons, but the numbers must be small.

I mean, they already said the ride is going to focus on the day Antonio got his gift which is the ability to speak with animals. So it's really no stretch.
So the ride will be happening before Mirabelle realized what her gift was and during the time Bruno has been missing....Not where the movie ends.... or like in the case of PATF, any years after the movie ends,yet no one has aged.

... When did you want it to take place? It's happening at some point during the film, like many IP-based rides. Bruno "missing" is inconsequential even if they want to show the character since he's in the walls all along, and they can very easily provide a look into that area of Casita for riders.

Can you still spend Disney dollars at the park?

I know you used to be able to.
Yes. I did so 4 weeks ago! You might get cast members who haven't seen them before and get excited, or don't know what to do with them and need to call a manager, but they're still "legal tender".

They're very collectable, they can go for impressive amounts on Ebay. I did wonder about selling them like that, but it just gets complicated with describing the condition, posting them, insurance etc, I felt it just wasn't worth it for the $6 I had. I've got plenty of other souvenirs, I'd hung onto them for 35 years, but time to let them go.
