Exciting changes are underway at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and fans of Encanto are in for a treat! But here’s where it gets even more thrilling: the highly anticipated Encanto attraction is making significant vertical progress, and we’ve got the latest updates that’ll make you want to pack your bags for Walt Disney World right now. Earlier this week, we shared that new framework was being added to the upcoming attraction, and the construction is soaring skyward at an impressive pace.
Let’s dive into the details. The newest section of the framework—the shorter portion on the left side—has recently been fitted with parapets on its backside. And this is the part most people miss: parapets are those architectural features that extend above the roofline, often seen on flat or low-slope roofs, especially in commercial buildings. These weren’t there just days ago, proving how quickly this project is evolving.
But that’s not all—guests can now spot additional parapets being added to the far back wall and the right side of the taller framing. Interestingly, these weren’t visible last week when the forward-facing parapets on the front side were installed. It’s like watching a puzzle come together, piece by piece, right before our eyes.
This morning, a crane was spotted lowering additional beams, further solidifying the structure’s progress. Here’s where it gets controversial: as the Encanto attraction takes shape, it marks the beginning of the end for DinoLand U.S.A. While many are thrilled for the new addition, some fans are nostalgic about bidding farewell to this classic area. What’s your take? Are you ready to welcome the magical world of Encanto to Animal Kingdom, or will you miss the dinosaurs?
As we prepare for this exciting transition, one thing’s for sure: Disney never fails to captivate us with its innovative designs and immersive experiences. So, are you as excited as we are to see this attraction come to life? Let us know in the comments or on social media—we’d love to hear your thoughts!
