September 21 update: A September 21 aerial view captures new work around Pueblo Esperanza’s fountain, the facades for the Encanto and Indiana Jones attractions, and the carousel roof at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The video brings several parts of the site into one view. The fountain’s exterior wall has been poured in the central plaza. Nearby, crews continue work on the buildings and scenic walls that will frame the land’s paths.

Encanto and Indiana Jones Facades

The future Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto building has gained more exterior detail around its Casita-inspired entrance. Across the site, the Maya temple facade for the future Indiana Jones attraction is moving beyond the exposed framing shown in the August version of this story. More of the entrance’s finished shape is visible in the newer aerial view.

Carousel Roof

Roofing now covers much of El Carrusel de los Animalitos. The surrounding area is still under construction, with unfinished scenic walls and open work areas visible in the aerial view.

Current construction appears in bioreconstruct’s September 21 aerial video. The nearby attractions include Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto and El Carrusel de los Animalitos.
