I love my job as a travel agent. It brings me so much joy to help people plan their dream vacations and to pass on any tips and tricks that I have learned. I am also always excited to bring you the latest information on theme parks, cruises, and more.
If you have ever been to Disney World, you know Splash Mountain is a very popular ride there. Recently it has had a facelift or as we in the Disney world call it a reimagined look. It went from the story of Br’er Rabbit to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
I 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 are 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 I’ve got all the things you will 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, I hear they expect to open a standby queue soon after the attraction’s opening.
Visit disneyworld.com/virtualqueue for more details about how virtual queues at Disney World work and what you need to know before visiting Magic Kingdom or reach out to me and I can help.
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 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. You may check the app on the day of your 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 they’re almost there.
If you want to download this attraction photo and your 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. I can help you purchase this.
Be prepared to get wet!
At some point when you drop on in to Tiana’s party, there’s a strong chance you and other riders may get wet. While most people will appreciate the refreshing cool down, others may want to bring their rain gear.
Didn’t bring any? No worries. There are plenty of places to find a poncho in Magic Kingdom.
Celebrate Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening across Magic Kingdom
Shop new attraction merchandise
After riding the new attraction, I bet you are going to want to take a piece of the bayou home with you
Starting June 28. you can 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 you can 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.
