Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is making waves at Disneyland, set to open its doors to guests on November 15, 2024. After a dazzling debut at Walt Disney World Resort’s Magic Kingdom Park this past June, fans on the West Coast have been eagerly counting down the days. According to MiceChat, Disneyland cast members will begin their exclusive previews on October 22, running through November 12, giving them a sneak peek at this exciting new attraction.
Magic Key holders are also in for a treat, as they will be among the first Disneyland guests to experience the bayou magic before the official opening. While Disneyland hasn’t nailed down the preview dates just yet, it’s advisable to keep an eagle eye on Disneyland’s social media channels for the latest updates.
This $142 million transformation from Splash Mountain to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is part of Disney’s broader initiative to reflect more diverse storytelling and inclusive experiences. The previous attraction, Splash Mountain, faced criticism in recent years for its basis in the controversial 1946 film “Song of the South.” While it remained beloved for its catchy tunes and thrilling drops, the re-theme reflects a thoughtful shift towards celebrating the story of Princess Tiana, inspired by Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog.”
Walt Disney World already set the tone with its opening, and while reactions were mixed, the anticipation for Disneyland’s version remains sky-high. With picturesque views, new musical scores, and the immersive environment of New Orleans that we’ve come to love through Tiana’s journey, this ride promises to be nothing short of enchanting.
