Luisa’s Secret Room Would’ve Been A Huge Encanto Problem
Disney cut Luisa's secret room from Encanto, and there's a good reason why it doesn't show up in the movie. The members of the Family Madrigal get supernatural abilities to help their tiny village in Encanto. For instance, Luisa Madrigal (Jessica Darrow) has super strength, allowing her to move buildings, hold pianos, and even carry donkeys. Unfortunately, not all of the family members get powers, though. During her childhood ceremony, Mirabel Madrigal (Stephanie Beatriz), Luisa's sister, doesn't receive a unique ability. While tragic, the magical snub gives Mirabel the drive to make her family proud and figure out why the house is falling apart.
In addition to powers, the Madrigals get custom magical rooms. Encanto doesn't reveal all the Madrigal rooms, but the characters' bedrooms are all inspired by their abilities. For instance, Antonio (Ravi Cabot-Conyers) can communicate with animals, understanding them and telling them what to do. So his magical room in Casita is a jungle full of several places for animals to roam and thrive. Additionally, Isabela (Diane Guerrero) can create plants, so her room is naturally full of plant life.

However, Gooding added, "She also had a secret exit to a
