DescenDANCE Party – A high-energy rave inspired by the Disney Original Movie, “Descendants: The Rise of Red” premiering on Disney+ on July 12, guests can dance along to their favorite hits, including other songs from the “Descendants” films, at the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland.

Speaking of Bruno – For the first time during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary, Bruno Madrigal from the Disney Animation Studios film “Encanto” will meet guests alongside Mirabel at the family Casita in Fairytale Garden.
