The drop on Tiana's Bayou Adventure

1. Ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on Opening Day

By now you may have heard that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will use a virtual queue! You can request to join through the My Disney Experience app at 7:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. It will also be included as a Lightning Lane entrance in the Disney Genie+ service.

2. Visit Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts

Find a little piece of Crescent City right here in the heart of Central Florida at Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts.

From the New Orleans-inspired architecture and the horse-drawn carriage rides along the waterfront, to the swingin’ jazz scene at the Scat Cat Club Lounge and the seasonal beignet flavors at the Scat Cat Club Café … you’ll be sure to pass a good time in true Louisiana style, just like Tiana.

3. See Princess Tiana Take the Stage

If you’re at Magic Kingdom bright and early, you may see Princess Tiana as she drops on into the Let the Magic Begin Welcome Show in front of Cinderella Castle.

And of course, there’s the quick-stepping, tap-dancing New Orleans fun in the celebration of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Princess and the Frog” during Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire on the same stage. Then, don’t miss waving to Tiana and Prince Naveen as they visit Main Street U.S.A. during the Festival of Fantasy parade!

4. Meet Princess Tiana at Princess Fairytale Hall

Tiana is always thrilled to meet new friends in between her many adventures around the park, especially ones with dreams as big as hers!

7. Shop New Tiana Merch

You’ve likely already seen the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure merchandise collection and let me tell you, it’s stunning! I can’t wait to get my hands on so many things – apparel, accessories, ear headbands, toys, plushies, you name it! Like many of you, I’ll be hitting up the Emporium at Magic Kingdom on June 28 to score these goodies inspired by the attraction.

Oh, and just a heads-up: shortly after the attraction debuts, the merchandise will hop over to Critter Co-Op in Frontierland. Keep your mobile device handy, because you can use Merchandise Mobile Checkout at both the Emporium and Critter Co-Op.

As Tiana sang in the song “Almost There,” “People gonna come here from everywhere, and I’m almost there.” We’re eagerly looking forward to welcoming you to Walt Disney World to celebrate the debut of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, along with all the exciting ways we’re celebrating Tiana this summer. We’re looking forward to seeing you drop on in!
