New from Disney's Encanto, the Magical Casa Madrigal playset brings the magic of Casita to life. Playset is over 15 inches tall, with 3 floors, 7 rooms, and includes a Mirabel Doll, and 15 house accessories.
Casita Basics
How long has Casita been in business? Since 1981, although the current owner joined the team in 1983.
Casita accommodations are a collection of 12, two-story buildings featuring 119 guestrooms and suites. Casitas are opposite the main building, separated by The Phoenician Pools and Necklace lake, each offering doorstep parking. Locations and views vary.
“Our house of the family Madrigal is inspired by traditional homes in Colombia, places like Barichara, and places like Cartegena and Salento,” revealed associate production designer Lorelay Bové. “Early on, we talked to Colombian architects and they gave us such great information about the construction of these houses.
Kingdom Hearts Dark Road. The Casa Madrigal, otherwise referred to as Casita, is a location from Disney's 2021 animated film Encanto. It is the Madrigal family's house and home, gifted to the family via a magical candle, and since the building is sentient, it is practically a character in itself.
A lot of his creations are on quite a large scale. Same goes for the Casita Madrigal. It took Martin 4.5 weeks of building, which considering the size, sounds like quite a lot of work.
The Soldiers are the overarching antagonists of Disney's 60th full-length animated feature film Encanto. They were a group of corrupt Colombian soldiers responsible for the death of Pedro Madrigal, the husband of Alma Madrigal and the grandfather of Mirabel Madrigal.
Pedro Madrigal is a minor character in the 2021 Disney animated film, Encanto. He is the late patriarch of the Madrigal family, husband of Alma Madrigal, father of triplets Julieta, Pepa and Bruno, and the grandfather of Isabela, Dolores, Luisa, Camilo, Mirabel and Antonio.
"Mirabel and [Abuela] are the only two people to be able to communicate with the Casita in the movie. This could show some sort of special relationship with the Casita and in turn, the magic in the house," they add.
Casita was destroyed after an argument between Abuela and Mirabel, in which Abuela blamed Mirabel for all the family's misfortunes because she doesn't have a gift, and along with Casita's destruction, the candle was extinguished, leaving the Madrigals powerless.
However, he loved them too much to truly go away, so he stayed hidden in the walls of the house for 10 years, unbeknownst to anyone (except Dolores, who could hear him the whole time and knew he never left).
All Alma knows is that marauders were threatening her family and her village, and her husband Pedro sacrificed himself to save them. After Pedro dies, Alma receives a magical candle, an enchanted house, and her family members start to get special powers.
The main casita in Encanto was inspired by the Colombian towns of Barachara and Salento. The Colombian architects who were a part of Cultural Story Trust also provided their input to help bring more authenticity to the Encanto story.
But NothingReallyAndYou reveals that, actually, Mirabel doesn't get a door or a room because the entire Casita is hers. Her gift was the magic in the very walls of the Casita. She is the next caretaker, the leader, the center of the family. Mirabel is the Keeper of the Miracle.
Agustín is a kind and bubbly man who cares very much about Mirabel, Isabela, and Luisa; Mirabel describes him as "meaning well". He is very accident-prone, and his allergy to bees causes him to require Julieta's healing food on a regular basis.
The third floor consists of Bruno's tower and Alma's room with an a open window that displays the magic candle. Although not shown, Casita only has one bathroom.
Our two-story Casita has two primary bedrooms (one on each floor) for a total of 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.
Casita Size
Usually, a casita is much smaller than the main home on the property. While they do vary in size, it's not uncommon to find some with around 500 square feet of living space, and other casitas ranging up to around 1,200 or even 1,500 square feet of space.
You can order the base Casita trailer in 16′ and 17′ lengths, as a Standard or Deluxe (with bathroom) and choose from 4 floor plans.

"Casita isn't just a living magical house but is their actual family member. The candle may be the catalyst of the powers, but Casita is the soul of their Abuelo living on (and Mirabel is clearly his favourite grandchild)," they add.
Encanto 2 has yet to be officially confirmed by Disney, but recent developments at the House of Mouse might have given fans hope that we'll all be talking about Bruno again (if we even stopped). In February 2023, Disney confirmed sequels for Toy Story, Frozen and Zootopia.
