Jared Bush, co-director and writer of Encanto, has revealed that he is actively working on the upcoming Encanto ride being built as part of the Tropical Americas expansion at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
In a post on social media today, Bush shared:
"Flying home from Europe and my plane homework will be writing new dialogue for... the Encanto attraction at #DisneyAnimalKingdom which means new words for the magical, fantastical Familia Madrigal! You will not believe what the imagineers are cooking up."
This is the first confirmation that Bush is directly involved in scripting new dialogue for the attraction, which will be the first-ever Encanto ride-through experience when it opens in 2027.
Disney previously confirmed that the attraction will be located in the newly developed Tropical Americas land - set in a lush, story-rich environment inspired by Central and South America. Construction is already well underway, with recent aerial photos showing early work on the ride's show building.
No additional story or character details have been announced, but Disney has promised a deeply immersive experience with appearances by members of the Madrigal family.
