AN ENCANTO CELEBRATION ON THE DISNEY MAGIC (DISNEY CRUISE LINE)

During our recent 3 night Disney Magic cruise, "An Encanto Celebration was offered twice during the sailing. This is a recap from the 1st offering on Saturday, September, 22nd. I will also show highlights from the 2nd showing on Sunday where my son and nephews attended.

From the original Disney Cruise Press Release: "Guests can join the fantastical family Madrigal during an all-new immersive experience, “An Encanto Celebration,” designed to engage families through music, crafts and storytelling. The interactive experience gives guests an opportunity to meet and take photos with Mirabel and the family member we don’t talk about, Bruno, during their Disney Cruise Line debut. Families can also join a spirited sing-along of beloved “Encanto” songs and create butterfly and flower crafts inspired by the film. During the show, guests can experience a true taste of South America thanks to a selection of local Colombian beers, cocktails and sodas along with film-inspired mocktails."

Now, everything was true with the exception of the last part. No special cocktails or mocktails were offered. In fact, the bar was closed both times. My guess is that the drinks weren't very popular during the event, so they just eliminated them. They weren't missed in my opinion.

During the first session, Mirabel & Bruno did NOT make an appearance. While the hosts pulled it off like nothing was wrong, I think this was the exception not the rule. They did appear the following day and I will cover that in our Day 3 Vlog about our cruise.
