One ‘The Princess and the Frog’ Cast Member Teases Louis and Charlotte Audio-Animatronics
It looks like the cast of The Princess and the Frog are getting ready for a Walt Disney World reunion next month to celebrate the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in the Magic Kingdom.
On Instagram today, Michel-Leon Wooley, who voices Louis in the film, shared a virtual ride through the upcoming attraction and revealed that he had seen the Louis audio-animatronic from the ride.

“It’s going to be AMAZING!!! Saw one of the animatronics of LOIUS!! Over 7 ft, weighing a ton with 35 motors making his arms, legs, tail, head and belly move. Disney Magic,” he captioned the post.
While the virtual ride-through looked suspiciously like Splash Mountain on Walt Disney World Quest: Magic Racing Tour, the comments on the post may have given us a glimpse at when the attraction will be completed.
A Charlotte Animatronic Will Be Featured in the Ride
Responding to Wooley’s original post, Jen Cody, who voices Charlotte in The Princess and the Frog, shared her excitement about the upcoming attraction.
Wooley then revealed that he also saw an animatronic of Charlotte that will be featured in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
“I saw the animatronic of Charlotte!!! She’s beautiful!!!” he wrote.

While the fact that Charlotte is getting her own animatronic is perhaps not that surprising, it is news!
The Cast is Heading to Walt Disney World Next Month
Maybe even more exciting, however, is Cody’s subsequent revelation:
“I am headed to WDW in April to see her!!! And you!” she wrote.
Tiana’s Foods Water Tower in Magic Kingdom
While this is pure speculation, with Disney recently announcing that Tiana Bayou Adventure will open this summer, the attraction may be ready sooner rather than later.
When Will Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Open?
If Disney is flying The Princess and the Frog cast down to Orlando to do press in April, perhaps we could see previews begin as early as May? Maybe a June opening?

While Disney is not exactly known for the speed of its construction projects these days, progress on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is happening quickly.

Although we don’t have an opening date yet, an announcement may be on the horizon. If nothing else, the cast of The Princess and the Frog is heading to Walt Disney World next month!
