In June 2020, Disney World announced that the water-based ride Splash Mountain would close to be rethemed into an attraction inspired by the Disney animated film, The Princess and the Frog.

We’ve been keeping up with all the progress of this new Magic Kingdom ride, and after years of waiting Disney finally announced an opening date! Not only that, but we’ve officially got details on how the virtual queue and Genie+ will work — and which lucky groups will get to preview this attraction before it opens!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will officially open to all visitors on June 28th, 2024! Not only that, but we also learned that Disney Vacation Club Members will get to preview the attraction before it’s officially open to other park visitors. There are lots of details you need to know, so let’s get into it all!
