Theme Park Offerings for Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month
Feel the Latin rhythm and dance to the beat at three of Walt Disney World's thrilling theme parks.
Magic Kingdom Park
- For all the "Encanto" fans, Mirabel has a designated meet-and-greet location at Magic Kingdom! Guests can see this popular character at Fairytale Garden, located near Cinderella Castle (on the Tomorrowland side). Be sure to check out our guide to experiencing "Encanto" at Disney World! (During Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, her tío, Bruno, joins her!)
- Bruno from Disney's "Encanto," Elena of Avalor and Miguel from Disney and Pixar's "Coco" can be seen along with many other favorite characters in the "Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade," a super-sized procession that winds its way through Magic Kingdom multiple times each day.
- Guests can also meet Princess Elena of Avalor at Princess Fairytale Hall, a character heavily influenced by Latin culture!
- Party with Miguel and Hector from "Coco" in the Land of the Dead at Mickey's PhilharMagic. This recent addition to the attraction features a performance of the upbeat song "Un Poco Loco" in an animated scene based on the movie!
And don't fret if you're not able to visit during Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month, as all the offerings listed above for Magic Kingdom are available year-round!
EPCOT
- The limited-time ¡Celebración Encanto! sing-along show, which started this summer, has been extended through Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month at the new CommuniCore Plaza Stage. Test your "Encanto" trivia, dance and sing along to the music, and some Madrigal family members even stop by to join in.
- Sway along to the warm melodies of Mariachi Cobre and their world-famous traditional music from Jalisco, Mexico at the Mexico Pavilion in World Showcase. Mariachi Cobre performs on select days and times for a limited-time experience, and a familiar amigo might stop by, so remember to keep an eye out!
- Inside the giant Mesoamerican pyramid is where you'll find the Mexico Pavilion Folk Art Gallery, a beautiful art exhibit created by prominent Mexican artists that captures the beauty and spirit of El Día de Los Muertos.
- Visit Art of Disney, where paintings, limited-edition prints and more are available, with Artist Spotlights highlighting the works of Hispanic or Latin American artists. This year, you can expect to find work from Gaston Ugarte, Ana Lacaze and Luis Uribe.
