Walt Disney World is celebrating Hispanic & Latin Heritage Month with six new and returning items for you and your familia to enjoy!
#TogetherWeAreMagia celebration runs from September 15 to October 15. Festive music to make you dance and sing, delicious food and beverage options, and much more will be waiting to give you a taste of culture.
Baila with the Familia Madrigal
Plan to dance, sing, and celebrate with the marvelous Madrigal family at the CommuniCore Plaza Stage in EPCOT. The limited time ¡Celebracion Encanto! Sing-along has been officially extended. The show runs several times a day at EPCOT and is perfect for friends and family. Check the My Disney Experience app for showtimes. Who knows, Bruno and Mirabel may even stop by to join in on the fun!
An unforgettable Mariachi experience
Keep your eyes peeled for the sights and sounds of Mariachi that we all know and love! Mariachi Cobre arrives at EPCOT on September 15 and will perform on select days and times for a limited-time experience. Maybe a familiar amigo will stop by to enjoy the performance.
Life imitates arte
So many diverse cultures fill Hispanic and Latin American countries, each with its own forms of art that define and celebrate traditions. Available year-round, Disney Springs’ Art walk will continue to flourish with a new mural addition featuring beautiful motifs live-painted by Nicole Salgar, a Miami-based artist who depicts her Latin roots in all her work. With a passion for sci-fi and folk art, her murals challenge viewers’ perspectives with an emphasis on experimentation. You won’t want to miss it!
For those wanting to explore their inner artist, guests can learn to draw Dante from Pixar Animation Studios’ “Coco” and meet Hispanic Pixar animator Ana Ramirez at The Animation Experience at Conservation Station in Animal Kingdom.
Paintings, limited-edition prints, figurines, and more will be featured at EPCOT at the Art of Disney display. Artist Spotlights will feature work created by Hispanic or Latin American artists. Some of the artists this year will include Pixar talent Gaston Ugarte, Ana Lacaze, and Luis Uribe.
