Bruno
Ever since the movie Encanto hit the theatres, the song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” became a huge hit—this song, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, digs into the gossip around Mirabel’s uncle Bruno. With the ability to see the future, Bruno was estranged from the rest of the Madrigal family. The song was a catchy, mystery element that launched it to success.
Bruno can be seen at Walt Disney World as he is now in the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade. Typically happening towards the late afternoon, the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade is full of beloved Disney and Pixar characters. Although guests can’t meet Bruno during their Walt Disney World vacation, they can meet Mirabel. She now meets guests in the Magic Kingdom at Fairytale Garden.

Bruno did meet guests previously in Disney California Adventure during Oogie Boogie Bash. This special event has been the only time guests have been able to spend 1:1 time with Bruno while in a Disney park.
We can’t wait to see how the performers bring these beloved Disney songs to the stage on October 17 on Dancing With The Stars.
