Today we have a look a the progress on Disney’s new Tropical Americas section coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This new area will replace Dinoland U.S.A with attractions based on “Encanto” and Indiana Jones.
Thanks to @bioreconstruct on X, we have a current look at the construction progress.
Disney is now working on the Encanto building attraction.
First up is an overview of the entire site.

As a reminder, this is what the blue sky artwork for the finished area looks like.

As a reminder, these buildings are featured in the concept art. They are located to the right of the Encanto attraction building.

The rest of the area, including Dinosaur and Restaurantosaurus will close on February 2, which is also Groundhog Day.
