I don't want to spoil exactly where Encanto ranks in my overall Walt Disney Animation Studios rankings as I plan on doing a three part podcast series about that topic soon, but suffice to say Encanto ranking as high as it does on said list was what sparked me to plan that series to begin with. My passion for Encanto runs pretty deep at this point. I honestly thought I had outgrown watching movies over and over like I did as a teenager but Encanto is a rare exception. There's just so many little details, character moments, and subtle story beats that I've found going back to the film to be a bit of a "comfort zone" for me recently.
I absolutely think it would make for a TERRIFIC attraction. Oddly enough I think Epcot's Mexico pavilion would provide the perfect framework for how I could see the land being structured. I think the Casita itself would make a fantastic indoor land and the Imagineers would be able to go freaking nuts with practical effects and interactive elements. I think the fact that we only see a couple of the rooms in the movie is basically a rare open canvas for a pre-established IP for the Imagineers to once again to absolutely buck wild with creativity. I think a Mystic Manor style tour through each family member's room would be incredible and is almost too perfect of a format for a dark ride.
Since it was already brought up, here's some shameless self promotion
Also Tia Peppa's weather pavilion. Yes. Just freaking yes. Give it to me. Inject it directly into my bloodstream.
