Starting in 2024, guests can head to Colombia, which served as inspiration for Disney’s Encanto. Nancy Schumacher, senior vice president and general manager of Adventures by Disney, had this to say about the new destination:
“At Adventures by Disney we take families to destinations they want to visit around the globe and make it easy to immerse themselves in new places, cultures and experiences. We are excited to include Colombia in our 2024 lineup, as this country has been an inspiration for Disney stories that are loved the world over.
