Walt Disney World Resort will be celebrating Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month from September 15th through October 15th. Throughout the month-long celebration there will be plenty of exciting experiences to be had throughout Walt Disney World. This includes entertainment, food, art, merchandise, and a few other things… including Bruno and Mirabel!
Magic Kingdom
At the Magic Kingdom, Bruno will be joining the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade along the parade route. Mirabel’s uncle will be joined by other friends like Miguel from Coco, Princess Elena of Avalor and José Carioca. While Mirabel won’t be in the cavalcade, she won’t be far away. Starting on the same date she will begin meeting with friends near the castle at her magical Casita. This meet and greet location will continue on past the end of Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month

Elsewhere at Walt Disney World Resort
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, celebrate Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month by heading over to the Conservation Station. Once there, learn how to draw Dante from Disney/Pixar’s Coco and also hear about a featured Hispanic animator at The Animation Experience.
Disney Springs
There will also be ways to celebrate Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month at Disney Springs. Disney Springs happens to be the home of several Hispanic-owned shops and eateries. This includes Jaleo by José Andrés and Frontera Cocina and also Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers.
Shopping, Transportation, & Disney Resort Hotels
Throughout the month, Disney Resort hotel guests can also watch Movies Under the Stars. Look for movies inspired by Latin America that include Encanto and Coco on select nights throughout the month. There will also be merchandise from both of these films that can be found throughout Walt Disney World Resort.
While traveling around Walt Disney World Resort, keep your eyes open for some character murals from Encanto or Coco on the outside of the Skyliner or on the exterior of a bus.
