When it comes to celebrations, Disney World knows how to go all out.
Sure, the big 50th Anniversary Celebration is over, but we’re gearing up for the start of the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary Celebration at EPCOT. And Halloween fun has already arrived in the parks. But we’ll also soon be celebrating Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month in Disney World, which will bring food, characters, entertainment, and more to the parks and hotels. Here’s what you need to know!
Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month begins in Disney World on September 15th and runs through October 15th.
Here’s a look at all of the special things it’ll bring!
Characters
Not only will the celebration bring Mirabel from Encanto to Magic Kingdom for her own meet-and-greet in Fairytale Garden (which will be available year-round once it opens), but also her uncle, Bruno, is joining that park’s Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade!
Mirabel will start meeting guests and Bruno will make his Magic Kingdom parade debut on September 15th.
