The story behind Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure isn’t just another ride at Walt Disney World® – it’s a journey into the vibrant world of Tiana, Disney’s first African American princess. The character of Tiana, introduced in the 2009 film “The Princess and the Frog,” quickly became a favorite among Disney fans for her determination, talent, and charm. The development of this attraction involved a dedicated team of Disney Imagineers who wanted to capture the essence of Tiana’s story and the enchanting Louisiana bayou.
The adventure begins after the events of the movie, as princess Tiana and prince Naveen prepare for a grand Mardi Gras celebration. We are thrilled to announce that Mama Odie will reprise her role as the catalyst to that magic. As depicted in this newly released rendering, Mama Odie jokes with guests along their journey after a special display of her magic. The two-hundred-year-old Bayou Fairy Godmother, with her eccentric belongings and “seeing eye snake,” Juju, is comically eccentric, yet wise and all-knowing, throughout the adventure. Guests are invited to join Tiana on a musical journey through the bayou, encountering familiar characters and new friends along the way. The ride’s storyline is filled with magic, music, and a touch of Disney whimsy, ensuring a captivating experience for visitors of all ages.
Design and features of the attraction
One of the standout features of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is its visual design. The attraction is set in a lush, vibrant bayou, complete with sparkling fireflies, towering trees draped in Spanish moss, and the iconic treehouse that serves as Tiana’s base of operations. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to immerse guests in the enchanting world of New Orleans.
The ride mechanics are equally impressive, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to create a smooth and engaging ride experience. The attraction combines traditional ride elements with cutting-edge visual effects, making it a feast for the senses. Interactive features throughout the ride allow guests to engage with the story, making them feel like active participants in Tiana’s adventure.
The soundtrack of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is another highlight. Featuring beloved songs from the original film as well as new music created specifically for the attraction, the soundtrack enhances the magical atmosphere. The ride also features voice acting from the original cast, adding an extra layer of authenticity and charm.
The Critters at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
In the heart of the bayou, Princess Tiana is gearing up for a grand celebration. However, there’s been a mix-up between Prince Naveen and Louis the alligator, and now Tiana finds herself in need of a band for her party. Together with Louis, Tiana embarks on a thrilling last-minute search through the bayou to find the perfect musical critters to bring her party to life.
As you journey with them, you’ll be serenaded by a medley of musical styles, from Zydeco to Rara and Afro-Cuban jazz. The bayou will come alive with the sounds of critters big and small, just like the vibrant streets of the French Quarter in the Crescent City. Not everyone you encounter in the attraction will be a musician. You’ll meet a couple of amphibious friends who prefer to sit back, relax, and catch up on all the bayou gossip. And if you’ve ever wished for a critter friend of your own, you’re in luck! Beau, Apollo, and Rufus will be available as huggable plushies, ready to be taken home as the perfect keepsakes from your magical adventure with Princess Tiana.
