Their home, referred to as casita throughout the movie, is also magical.<\/p>\n<p>The Wrap&#8217;s Drew Taylor asked Manuel how he&#8217;d like to see the casita represented in the theme park, and what he thinks about a Colombia pavilion being added to Epcot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I took my kids to Disneyland for the first time pre-pandemic a few years ago,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And we sat through &#8216;The Little Mermaid&#8217; thing five times in a row. That&#8217;s where my brain goes. It&#8217;s like, I want to go in and out of this casita and see those characters and see the house respond because that&#8217;s something Disney can do that no one else can do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And Manuel isn&#8217;t the only creative who&#8217;d like to see &#8220;Encanto&#8221; represented at the parks.
