Overview
- Crews installed slanted roof beams for the woodcarver’s carousel and visible scaffolding over a central circle, a change confirmed by aerial and on‑site photos reported Thursday.
- A metal mesh framework that will read as a mountain range has been placed along the full width of the Encanto show building roof to provide forced‑perspective theming behind the Casita facade.
- Workers added twisted rebar and concrete work at the Tropical Americas north entrance and removed old roofing on the former DinoLand gift shop as crews repurpose existing buildings for the land.
- Disney has said the land will include an Encanto attraction, a wood‑carver’s carousel with carved Disney animals, shops, a large quick‑service restaurant, and a playground while the DINOSAUR ride is being rethemed to an Indiana Jones experience.
- Disney continues to list a 2027 opening window but significant interior fit‑out and ride‑system work remain behind walls, so visitors should expect more visible milestones before a firm opening date is announced.
