I know. Let's make it a Broadway Musical. That way, when it gets famous, Disney can make into a film shown on Disney+. Then, they'd have the Movie, the Musical based on the Movie, and the Movie based on the Musical that's based on the Movie.
Brilliant!

Miranda said in a red carpet interview that “the imagineers are on it”. I’m taking it with a grain of salt, but. Businessinsider reported it first & it has now be regurgitated on the site who shall not be named

There's insufficient substance IMHO for anything but a mean spirited misadventure about a domineering matron and an enabling house.

Lin is doing very well for himself but not exactly well enough to help fund a Disney attraction.

That's ridiculous. The movie is a cultural phenomenon. I could easily imagine a Mystic-Manor style attraction, but just set in la Casita.

I am afraid they will simply re-theme Swiss Family Tree House in Disneyland (currently themed to Tarzan) to an Antonio and animals tree house and call it a day. If it is well-received, they will do the same thing at WDW. Which is a shame because Encanto deserves more than that, just like Moana deserves more than the water exhibit and Tangled deserves more than bathrooms. But, for those of us hoping for an Epcot pavilion or Adventureland expansion pad project, we need only look at Disney's latest attempts to capitalize on IP to sadly see we may need to lower our expectations.

Frozen Ever After is an even worse example. The Moana water thing and the Tangled bathrooms don't really preclude any future ride development. FEA is a very poor attraction shoehorned into a space it doesn't remotely belong, and they've chosen to just clone that attraction elsewhere rather than build something befitting of the franchise's popularity.

I’m not sure Encanto has proven it has the longevity to justify a ride but it’s a no brainer as a show, especially in the currently vacant Hyperion theater.

I’m confused if y’all just hate this movie or???? It is one of the biggest Disney movie successes in recent years, it has been a pop culture phenomenon and we will not be “letting it go” anytime soon. This movie deserves its own attraction, custom built from the ground up. As did Frozen but Disney has decided to clone FEA in 3 other parks…..

It was an average movie.

i enjoyed it but there’s a lot of Disney movies I enjoy that have no presence in the parks, if it’s still popular in a year, or has a successful sequel, it’ll have proven it has some legs.
It’ll take 3-5 years to design and built an attraction, combine that with shortening attention spans, and it just makes sense to make sure it’ll still be popular in several years when the ride actually opens.

This is where the black box rumored attraction would be handy, to quickly take advantage of something “hot off the presses” to immediately entertain, but more importantly assess potential for something more permanent.

Of course L-MM is suggesting this simply out of the goodness of his heart.
