Everything to Know Before Guests Drop Into Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World
By Disney Destinations
We hear Tiana has sent the invites out for her big Mardi Gras celebration! While the princess and her fun-loving friend Louis are finishing up details on the party down in the bayou, you're probably wondering what to wear, what to bring and how you should prepare for an exhilarating musical adventure that crescendos with a 50-foot drop right before the grandest celebration this side of the Mississippi.
Well don’t fret because we’ve got all the things you need to know before riding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when the attraction opens on June 28 at Walt Disney World.
Tips on How to Ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
- Drop on in-to virtual queue...
When Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens on June 28, it will use a virtual queue. You can request to join the virtual queue via the My Disney Experience app at one of two times: 7 a.m. or 1 p.m. While a standby queue will not be available during the attraction’s initial opening days, we expect to open a standby queue soon after the attraction’s opening.
- ... or purchase Disney Genie+ service.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will also be included as a Lightning Lane entrance in Disney Genie+ service*. Purchasing this service on the My Disney Experience app helps you get to some of your favorite attractions faster through Lightning Lane entrances and includes digital downloads of select Disney PhotoPass attraction photos taken in the park on the day of purchase. Check the app on the day of their visit for pricing and availability.
- Smile for the camera!
No party is complete without pictures. As you make your way through the bayou to get to Tiana’s party, Disney PhotoPass Service will serve up a special photo when you're almost there.
If you want to download this attraction photo and any other magical moments, dig no deeper than Memory Maker – with this all-inclusive photo package, you can download all of your Disney PhotoPass photos taken during your vacation.
- Be prepared to get wet!
At some point when you drop on in to Tiana’s party, there’s a strong chance riders may get wet. While most folks will appreciate the refreshing cool down, others may want to bring their rain gear.
- Shop new attraction merchandise
After riding the new attraction, we can bet you will want to take a piece of the bayou home with you!
Starting June 28, find the collections for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and “The Princess and the Frog”-inspired merchandise at the Emporium at Magic Kingdom. And, shortly after the attraction debuts, the merchandise will hop over to Critter Co-Op in Frontierland.
- Try some of Tiana’s Famous Beignets!
A trip to the bayou is never complete without some good eats and sweet treats. Among the food and beverage offerings we look forward to sharing soon will be Tiana’s Famous Beignets, of course.
Beginning opening day, Golden Oak Outpost and The Friar’s Nook will be serving up these light, sweet, and fluffy beignets drizzled with honey and powdered sugar. These will be available for a limited time only so let the good times roll.
