New Pathways and Stair Work at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom
Construction continues on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom, and we’ve got all the deets!
In case you missed it, Splash Mountain is undergoing a major transformation, being reimagined with a new Princess and the Frog theme. We’ve been monitoring all the new construction closely, and now we have a new update!
A Magical Transformation
Today our team spotted some new progress in the form of cobblestone pathways and stair work. Each small step is one step closer to opening day!
Construction might seem slow from the outside, but Imagineers are hard at work transforming the attraction for guests to enjoy.
So far, we’ve seen lots of scaffolding, Tiana’s tiara-topped water tower, and some seriously bright and beautiful murals.
According to Disney, the Louisiana-inspired murals will focus on things Tiana highly values: like family, friends, music, art, and bringing people together.
When Will Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Open?
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure began construction immediately after the closure of Splash Mountain in May of this year. While a hard opening date has yet to be announced, the highly anticipated attraction is expected to open in late 2024.
Themed to Disney’s 2009 animated film The Princess and the Frog, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will feature Tiana and her friends in a storyline set after the events of the film.
In February 2023, Disney revealed that the new attraction is set at Tiana Foods, an employee-owned cooperative where Tiana grows a variety of delicious foods and fresh ingredients. Here we’ll catch up with Tiana, Naveen, and Louis as they prepare for an extra-special Mardi Gras celebration.
Joined by these beloved Disney characters, guests will navigate the bayou in search of an important “missing ingredient.”
The ride track will not change. However, the new attraction will include new music, new animatronics, and the immersive theming we expect of all Disney attractions.
