Princess Tiana is getting her adventure ride at both Disneyland and Disney World's Magic Kingdom Ride! As we continue to celebrate #worldprincessweek, I wanted to give my readers a sneak peek at the conceptual artwork if her new ride coming to us late 2024!
The ride's name will be called Tiana's Bayou Adventure, while it will replace the current theme of Splash Mountain we know that Disney will do it big for our beloved bayou Princess! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will take guests on a musical adventure inspired by the beloved story and characters from the fan-favorite film. Picking up where the film left off, guests will join Princess Tiana, Naveen, and jazz-loving alligator Louis on an adventure through the bayou as they prepare to host a one-of-a-kind Mardi Gras celebration where everyone is welcome! Along the way, guests will encounter familiar faces on their journey down the bayou, they'll make new friends and travel to original songs inspired by the film.

Fans of Princess Tiana will also notice she'll have a completely new look, inspired by a historically accurate 1920's makeover that is authentic to her character. You'll also notice that Imagineers pay homage to Black Culture by incorporating several unique hairstyles for Princess Tiana, this celebrates Black Women and their versatility both geographically and generationally. This gorgeous ride, homage, and celebration have been long overdue, I love that Disney has been putting so much celebration into reflecting a culture that has been often missed and overlooked at a Disney World/Disneyland Resort.
Imagineers have taken several trips to New Orleans to learn about the region to ensure the ride reflects the heart and soul of the City Tiana's Story started; this will create something extra magical for parkgoers to experience during their trip down Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

In addition to playing homage to our Culinary Queen, Imagineers are creating this ride as a love letter to the city of New Orleans. Like the musical city that inspired this attraction, Tiana’s second act is about a community working in harmony to achieve something extraordinary. She reminds us of an immutable truth we can all relate to: ‘if you do your best each and every day, good things are sure to come your way.’ And that’s a melody we can all sing along to!”
