Weâve been impatiently watching construction on Tianaâs Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom for what feels like forever.
Okay, itâs only technically been about a year, but weâve enjoyed watching progress on the new ride, like seeing the water tower going up and seeing all the new additions being added regularly. Well, on February 18th, we saw something HUGE happening on the ride, and we have to share it with you: WATER is flowing through Tianaâs Bayou Adventure. WATER, PEOPLE!!!
Those familiar with Splash Mountain, the ride that Tianaâs Bayou Adventure replaced, know that the ride is a log flume ride, which means you need water to move the logs (filled with people) through the attraction. This basic design remains the same for Tianaâs Bayou Adventure, but this is the first time weâve seen the ride filled with water. This could indicate that Disney is preparing to start testing the ride.

The ride will pick up the story after Tianaâs adventures in The Princess and the Frog, during New Orleansâ Carnival season (party!), and Tiana is hosting a Mardi Gras Party. The party is missing a âkey ingredient,â though, so we are going to be asked to take a trip through the Bayou to find it.
We recently got a look at the Tiana animatronic weâll see at the beginning of the ride, and umâŚWOW! She looks amazing.
Of course, music will also be a big part of the ride, with original music âinspired by songs from the film.â Many of the original voice actors from the film have also offered their voices for the ride, including Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen, Michael Leon Wooley as Louis, Jennifer Lewis as Mama Odie, and, of course, Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana.
Weâll be keeping an eye out for MORE Tianaâs Bayou Adventure updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
