Bring your familia to Walt Disney World Resort for Together We Are Magia during Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month, Sept. 15 through Oct. 15
This year, Puerto Rican superstar Luis Fonsi joined the celebration, helping shine a spotlight on the vibrant cultures and traditions celebrated throughout the resort through music, art and more.
Luis Fonsi Brings Pura Magia to Life
During his recent visit, Fonsi experienced ¡Celebración Encanto! at EPCOT, where he met Mirabel and Bruno, as well as the Storytellers and Primos, who bring the entertainment experience to life through music and dance. He also enjoyed his favourite Disney World attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and met his favorite Disney character, Mickey Mouse.
Born in Puerto Rico and long connected to the Orlando community, Fonsi brings a deep appreciation for family, culture and the power of music to connect people. During his visit to Walt Disney World, he experienced some of the ways the resort celebrates Hispanic and Latin American culture, from music and entertainment to food and family experiences.
“It’s an honour to be part of this celebration and to share all the magia that happens when we come together as one. As a Puerto Rican, I’m incredibly proud of my roots and of the opportunity to celebrate our culture with families from around the world.”
Music, Culture and Family Take Centre Stage
