We do talk about Bruno at Disneyland's limited-time 'Encanto' event
From April 11, for a limited time, visitors to Disneyland Park can ride the “Encanto” wave with three new experiences that celebrate Disney’s latest animated movie.

Several times a night, the wall of Disney’s famous “It’s a Small World” attraction will be illuminated with a “brief visual montage,” according to an announcement from Disney Parks. Set to the chorus of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit song, "We Don't Talk About Bruno," the enchanting series of projection and lighting effects will capture the visually stunning spectacle of the movie.
Miranda’s hit ensemble song led the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five weeks, a record-breaking reign for a Disney movie song.
“Encanto” has all the magical realism you’d expect of a movie set in the mountains of Colombia. A celebration of community, the classic tale follows the lives of the Madrigal family whose children are each blessed with magical gifts — apart from the heroine, Mirabel.
As part of the "Encanto" takeover, guests can also meet and greet Mirabel for a photo opportunity at Zocalo Park in Frontierland.
Last month, “Encanto” picked up the Academy Award for best animated feature, the fourth win for Walt Disney Animation Studios, which also garnered Oscars for "Frozen," "Big Hero 6" and "Zootopia."
"Encanto" was also nominated for best original score and best song for “Dos Oruguitas.” On the back of its Oscar and Disney+ streaming success, the musical returned to theaters for a second run in February.
Disneyland's "Encanto" theme will culminate with an appearance on the grand finale float during the Main Street Electrical Parade. On April 22, the parade will return for its 50th anniversary. As part of the celebration, stylized scenes from several contemporary and classic Disney and Pixar movies will recreate the movie magic, including "Encanto," “The Jungle Book,” “Raya and the Last Dragon,” “Aladdin,” “Coco” and more.
