If you can’t get enough of Disney’s Encanto, talking and singing about Bruno will be happening at EPCOT.

A new summer sing-along featuring the beloved songs and story of the Disney animated film is in development. This new limited-time show, “¡Celebración Encanto!” runs several times throughout the day and will not only invite you and your family to sing along with some of your favorite songs, but you’ll also spot Mirabel and Bruno on the newly opened CommuniCore Plaza stage.

The new show can take place there because the last walls in the center of the park are coming down. Beginning June 10, guests will be able to stroll through a fully transformed EPCOT. CommuniCore Hall will be home to the iconic EPCOT festivals as well as the Mickey & Friends meet-and-greet.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Before Encanto’s music had us singing about the Family Madrigal, we had “Hakuna Matata” constantly on loop.

“The Lion King” turns 30 this summer, and the celebration for the animated film will prowl throughout the entire park from June 10 - Sept. 6.

The celebration includes new merchandise, menu items plus a special meet-and-greet with Timon and Rafiki at Rafiki’s Planet Watch.

In addition to these new summer experiences, Disney World also recently announced the return of H20 Glow After Hours returning select nights starting May 25.
