Experience the Magic of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World Resort!
The excitement is palpable as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure prepares for its grand debut at Walt Disney World Resort’s Magic Kingdom on June 28! Fans and guests are eagerly anticipating the chance to experience this enchanting new attraction firsthand. But before the big day arrives, a special celebration took place in New Orleans, paying tribute to the rich culture and inspiration behind Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
At a recent event in Crescent City, attendees were treated to a spectacular performance directed by PJ Morton, the Grammy award-winning artist who contributed to composing the attraction’s soundtrack. Leading the charge was Morton, directing the renowned St. Augustine High School band, showcasing the vibrant musical heritage of New Orleans. The festivities also welcomed members of the Dooky Chase Restaurant family, whose former matriarch, Leah Chase, served as an inspiration for Disney’s beloved character, Princess Tiana.
Princess Tiana and her companion, Louis the alligator, were also present, embodying the spirit of New Orleans and delighting guests with their infectious energy and charm. The excitement continued as Jenifer Lewis, the voice of Mama Odie, delivered a show-stopping performance of “Dig A Little Deeper” on “American Idol’s” Disney Night, announcing the opening date of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Guests can look forward to embarking on a musical journey through the bayou, picking up where “The Princess and the Frog” left off. From original music to beloved tunes from the film, guests will be immersed in the sights and sounds of Tiana’s world, culminating in an exhilarating 50-foot drop. Preview opportunities will be available ahead of the official opening for Florida-based Cast Members, Annual Passholders, and eligible Disney Vacation Club Members starting May 14.
With Tiana’s Bayou Adventure set to make its mark at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park later this year, get ready for an unforgettable journey into the heart of New Orleans. Don’t miss out on the magic!
