Mirabel will greet guests in Fairytale Garden surrounded by whimsical décor inspired by La Familia Madrigal later this fall.

Yeah, saw that. Guess there’s not much logic to it, then.

According to this report, she is no longer in the cavalcade https://blogmickey.com/2023/09/photos-video-encantos-bruno-debuts-at-walt-disney-world-in-the-disney-adventure-friends-cavalcade/

Is she still in the Cavalcade? Might be so that she can make her way over there and get prepped by 5:10.

Jeez it really ends that early in the day?!?

No crazy lines, seems fairly standard for this location.

Better late than never, I guess.

Why have construction walls when you can have curtains!

Today is the last day for Vanellope's meet at Epcot! CMs say that by tomorrow construction walls will be up at her location...

And the back of those Liberty Square buildings look pretty generic and not Ye Olde Colonial tymes. Especially if you enter one of them and find yourself in a 21st Century Christmas shop. It looks like it could easily be a side road off of Main Street.

I suppose it's a technicality. Once you cross over the moat, you're in Liberty Square next to the Christmas Shoppe. Visually, you still appear to be in the hub area.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek -- I actually do wonder why they bother labeling it as part of Liberty Square, though.
