Disney Files Second Interior Permit for Encanto Ride at Animal Kingdom

The filing signals an interior buildout push ahead of the Tropical Americas debut planned for 2027.

Overview

  • Walt Disney Imagineering, which filed the permit Thursday, named Mecca Productions to install set elements at 504 Dinoland Drive, the Encanto ride site.
  • The new authorization is the second interior filing for the project after a March 3 Notice of Commencement assigned similar work to Scenario.
  • Work has moved inside the topped-off show building after crews finished the steel frame, put the roof in place, and started framing the queue.
  • The permit carries a standard one-year expiration, indicating a sustained scenic installation phase now underway.
  • Disney says the attraction takes guests inside the Casita to follow Antonio after he receives his gift, with his room transformed into a rainforest.
