Haha yea I've noticed a lot of my nonlatino friends at university making that mistake when texting about Encanto.
Haha yea much like how Disney combined Chinese culture and design principles into making Hong Kong (and really more so) Shanghai it would make sense to do the same at other international resorts to avoid the misfire that was Euro Disneyland's opening and disconnects with the French.
Don't worry as a whole I feel like a lot of history focuses on whatever country you're in (and in some states like Texas their state's history too). In my classes in highschool there was very little focus in many classes that were meant to discuss the world rather it be Art History, World History, or Geopolitics a lot of focus was placed on the English speaking world and Southern/Western Europe . Which is a shame as learning about cultures, art, and history around the world is always fascinating but there's only so much time in a school year! I learn about history a lot from YouTube videos from a variety of channels, big fan.
Yeah, I get it. In school, we didn't learn much about South America except for its colonization and wars for independence. I guess it would make sense that they would teach us more about Europe and the English world because that's where we come from, mainly.
And you know, EuroDisneyland did have a few connections with the French. Jules Verne was French and they used his ideas in Space Mountain: From the Earth to the Moon and Mysteries of the Nautilus. According to a show I watched called Behind the Attraction, the imagineers got French input on what to name their castle. Even though Sleeping Beauty is German and Cinderella is French, the Parisians preferred the long name of the former in French.
I actually have a small argument on how hard the imagineers tried with EuroDisney, and what might've been had the park been successful at first.

Disney's Cinematic Adventure
This is a place where guests become the stars of their own adventures and their favorite movies come to life. Here, guests can explore the world of cinema as they explore 8 areas:
Buena Vista Street
Hollywood Gardens
Animation Courtyard
Disney Central
Worlds of Pixar
Production Studios
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
Avengers Campus
Buena Vista Street
Hollywood Gardens
Animation Courtyard
Disney Central
Worlds of Pixar

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
Avengers Campus
Buena Vista Street
When guests first come into the park, they are immersed in the glitz and glamour of 1920s Los Angeles, how it was when Walt Disney first came in 1923. In a town square, guests will see a statue of Walt and Mickey dubbed "Storytellers," which recreates another statue found at Disney's California Adventure, Tokyo Disneysea, and Shanghai Disneyland. Guests can find help at a city hall nearby or turn left and walk down the street (yes, this street goes left instead of straight to make more room for the gardens. All of the restaurants and shops allude to family members, early characters, and associates of Walt Disney. At the end of the street is Carthay Circle, where guests can dine at the Stars of Hollywood restaurant, see a showcase on Brazilian filmmakers, and inside the theater, watch Walt Disney: The Man Behind the Mouse, an original stage show that tells Walt's story, starting with his arrival in Los Angeles in 1923 and ending with the opening of Disneyland in 1955.
Hollywood Gardens
Located in the center of the park is a stunning garden display recreating Hollywood in its Golden Age. All around are hedges recreating iconic movie moments, and surrounding the garden are shops and restaurants, including the Brown Derby, Darkroom, and others. In the center of the gardens is a compass, known as "The Compass of Stars," which points to the many directions. North of the land is Buena Vista Street, where guests had come from, and in the northeast is Animation Courtyard., while to the south is Grauman's Chinese Theater, where an updated, more family-friendly version of the Great Movie Ride is located. To the west are the gateways to Disney Studios (Disney Central) and Pixar Studios (Worlds of Pixar) while to the east are gateways to Production Studios and Marvel Studios (Avengers Campus). Near the compass is the "Bench of Stars" statue, which depicts Walt Disney sitting on a bench with Roy Disney, Mickey Mouse, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Steve Jobs, Stan Lee, George Lucas, and Jim Henson.
Animation Courtyard
Located off of the nick of Hollywood Garden is the small but showstopping Animation Courtyard, where guests can see several shows and exhibits. This includes a new Muppet show called Muppets on Broadway, which is a 3-D show where the Muppets attempt to put on several Broadway Musicals. Located around the area are two live shows: Moana: The Musical and Mickey and the Magician, the latter of which is based off a show seen in Walt Disney Studios in Paris. There is also an exhibition on the Disney Parks, from Anaheim to Shnaghai, and now Sao Paulo. This walkthrough attraction shows guests the evolution of the Disney Parks from their conception to their opening. It also has special rooms for all seven resorts across the globe.
Disney Central
This is where the Disney stories we know and love come to life in a new way. When guests enter the land, they are thrust into the streets of London, where they can ride Mary Poppins' Jolly Holiday and check out other things too, like a penguin teacups ride and a candy store called Spoonful of Sugar (all three of which were inspired by projects seen in Sydney Disneyland). As guests go further down, London branches out into Atlantica, where guests go under the sea with several kiddie rides, including Jumpin' Jellyfish and Blowfish Balloon Race. They can also see King Triton's Concert, which is live at the nearby theater. Going through the jungle near Atlantica, guests will find a play area based off of the Lion King as well as the Festival of the Lion King, and located nearby is Agrabah. Here, they come to A Whole New World with the Camel Carousel, Aladdin's Flying Carpets, and most importantly, a new Aladdin dark ride which retells the story of the film. They can also eat up in the Sultan's Palace.
Worlds of Pixar
South of Disney Central is a large area where Pixar movies come to life! Guests start out by passing through the Sydney Harbor, which shares a lake with a Parisian area. In Sydney, guests can talk with Crush the sea turtle or go on an underwater rollercoaster ride to find Nemo. Across the lake guests go into Paris, where they join Remy on an adventure through the sights, smells, and sounds of Gusteau's Kitchen. Going down the street, guests can turn into two cities. On the right is Monstropolis, where guests will go into Monsters, Inc. and ride the door coaster, or for a tamer ride, hop on the Ride-and-go-Seek to find Boo. To the left, guests go into Metroville and ride the Incredibles Adventure, a motion simulator ride where guests rush through the streets of Metroville and battle an Omnidroid army with the Incredibles. Between the two cities is a passage, and going through it leads guests to an indoors area recreating Andy's Room. Here, they can ride Alien Swirling Saucers and Toy Story Midway Mania!
Production Studios
Ever wondered how movies were made? Well, here is where guests can see it. This involves many experiences that can show guests the magic behind movies, from a stunt show with cars, explosions, and a big jump finale, to a special effects show that pulls the curtain and shows guests what is behind them. There is also a studio tram tour, which takes guests on a ride through movie sets, but beware of Catastrophe Canyon. For younger guests, there are also animation experiences. This includes the Animation gallery, where they can see hand-drawn animation from their favorite movies, Animation Academy, where they can learn to draw like an animator, and Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, where they can disappear into the world of animation itself. They can also meet Mickey Mouse and other celebrity stars in a character spot.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
Live your own Star Wars story in a faraway planet. Batuu is a planet on the Outer Rim of the Star Wars universe, where smugglers, thieves, and anyone else not wanting to deal with big galactic affairs can hide out. This is also where a silent battle between the light side and the dark side rages, and guests are there to support the light. Here, they can fly the Millenium Falcon, the fastest hunk of junk in the Galaxy, on a coaxium heist. Then, guests can explore the outpost, building droids, seeing antiques, and checking out the local cantina. Out in the forest is where a Resistance base is, and here, they can join the fight and fly to meet General Leia, but things don't go as planned. Guests are captured by the First Order and must escape a big star destroyer, encountering Stormtroopers, AT-ATs, and even Kylo Ren himself along the way.
Do remember that there is a shuttle that can take you to the spaceport in Sao Paulo Disneyland, even though there might need to be a time bridge. Spaceport is set during the Original Trilogy, between Episodes 4 and 5, but Galaxy's Edge is set during the Sequel Trilogy, between Episodes 8 and 9.
Avengers Campus
Last but not least, we come to the Avengers Campus, where the Earth's Mightiest Heroes are being gathered. This involves several mind-blowing experiences, each one more unbelievable than the last. Guests can blast music as they go on a high-andrenaline roller coaster ride with the Guardians of the Galaxy, battling against the Kree as they go. Then, guests can step into the Sanctum Sanctorum, where Doctor Strange and the Masters of the Mystic Arts are training a new generation of sorcerers. Nearby, guests can join Spider-Man on a high-flying ride as he and alternate versions of him from throughout the multiverse battle the Sinister Seven. For those not wanting the thrill, they can go to Avengers Station, where they can meet the Avengers, or join Ant-Man on a trackless ride through the weapons facility, encountering Arnim Zola and his Hydra Bots as they go.
Sorry if anyone reading this can't see a post for Buena Vista Street. Apparently, I need moderator approval for some reason for it to be shown.
And you may be asking, where's the Tower of Terror-style ride. Well, I didn't know if I should include the tower because I was uncertain if Brazilian people knew much about the Twilight Zone. I was originally going to have Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission BREAKOUT instead, located in Avengers Campus, but I didn't want backlash from those who are against GoG:MB, so I instead repurposed Guardians as a roller coaster. Perhaps Journey to the Center of the Earth will be the drop tower ride of the park, because that was how it was originally conceived. It was supposed to go to Disneyland Paris, but it was scrapped early in development due to budget cuts so they instead built Space Mountain. Luckily, it would open as a motion simulator at Tokyo Disneysea.
