Catch a Livestream of Popular Latin American Band, Bacilos
For this year’s Eat to the Beat Concert Series during the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, several Latin and Hispanic artists have been invited to participate in the fun.
For those unable to make it to EPCOT to see some of these artists in person, you are in luck! On Monday, September 18, the Disney World Latino Facebook page and @DisneyWorld.Latino Instagram account will livestream a performance of the Latin American Band, Bacilos!

For those unfamiliar, Bacilos, which features the duo of André Lopes and Jorge Villamizar, is a Grammy award winner and, over their 20-year history, has put out some major hits, including “Caraluna” and “Mi Primer Millón.”

If you have plans to visit Animal Kingdom Park, you’ll want to check out an “Encanto”-inspired photo op that invites the entire familia to join in with Antonio and his amigos to say cheese!

Today is the day “Encanto” fans everywhere have been waiting for! Maribel makes her long-awaited meet-and-greet debut in her own magical casita in the Magic Kingdom! You can find her in the former spot where Merida from “Brave” used to meet and greet her fans, next to Cinderella Castle!
