Despite this milestone, the structure is still months away from reaching completion.

As Disney prepares for multiple new attractions in a brand new land, construction is progressing on what will be a casita-inspired Encanto ride.

The Encanto ride building has risen rapidly since officially going vertical in December 2025, The attraction’s façade will be inspired by the Casita from the film.
