‘We’re almost there’: Opening date announced for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disney World

HOSTED BY: 1 AIR TRAVEL


What is likely the most anticipated attraction opening at Disney World in 2024, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, now has an opening date … and it’s sooner than originally announced!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, replacing the Splash Mountain attraction in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, will open in the summer of 2024. It was originally announced to open in late 2024, so this is months earlier than anticipated.

The log flume ride — and its five-story drop — will remain, but the theme, setting and story of the ride when it reopens in a few months will all be new. The ride’s new storyline takes place after “The Princess and the Frog” movie.

Disney shares that it will be set during Mardi Gras season and that guests can expect a bayou full of music, magic and new friends, including a raccoon, rabbit and beaver. There will also be popular characters from the film in the form of all-new animatronics that will be voiced by the stars that brought them to life, including Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana.

It is also confirmed that there will be all-new music and some hits from “The Princess and the Frog.”

A final fun detail Disney shared is that there will be a scent of frying beignets in the attraction’s queue, which seems only appropriate for the French Quarter setting.

The former Splash Mountain attraction at Disneyland in California is also currently closed and transforming into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on the West Coast. Disney shares that the project’s opening timeline in Anaheim is “later in 2024.” That means those looking to step into Tiana’s world as soon as possible should target a trip to Disney World in Florida as we are “almost there” to summer 2024 when we can first float down the bayou.
