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.

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 brother, 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.
