OK, admit it. When you see a group of Cast Members dressed in plaid (the V.I.P. team) pass by in Disney World, are you looking for a celebrity in tow? It’s no secret that celebrities love Disney World just as much as the rest of us — in fact, we’ve been seeing a TON of famous people in the parks lately. You just never know who you might see! But recently, Disney has been hosting Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride previews for some familiar celebrities.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
As you may have heard, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is Magic Kingdom’s newest attraction, and it’s set to open on June 28th. Ahead of the big opening date, though, select Disney fans have been able to attend special ride previews! But wait until you see who just rode Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Their reaction to the new ride is PRICELESS.
Recently, Auliʻi Cravalho got the chance to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! You may recognize that name as the voice of Moana in Disney’s popular animated film. Miss Cravalho came READY to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure; she’s even wearing a pair of exclusive new Minnie ears! As you can see, she started with a big smile on her face.

But she quickly learned what makes this a SPLASH ride — there are lots of sudden dips and drops in this attraction. Prepare to get wet!

As you can see, Moana, er, Auliʻi Cravalho looks like she had fun! We love to see Disney princesses supporting each other. Watch the full video below!

By the way, Auliʻi Cravalho also stopped by EPCOT. Any guesses where she went? DUH! She visited EPCOT’s new Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana attraction. Side note — we’re loving her Loungefly bag. PERFECTION!

Who doesn’t love seeing a celebrity enjoy the Disney parks? It’s nice to know that when it comes to water rides, even literal Disney princesses have the same reaction when spritzed with water. Same, girl.

Like we said, you never know who you might see in Disney World! The cast of The Princess and the Frog also got the chance to see the new ride, and Mama Odie’s voice actress (Jenifer Lewis) declared the ride, “SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD.” That’s four “goods”!
@disneyparks “So good, so good, so good!” is an accurate way to summarize #TianasBayouAdventure 🤩✨ #Disney #DisneyParks #DisneyWorld #MagicKingdom #Tiana #VoiceActor
Phew! Who’s next? Can we see Amy Poehler and Phyllis Smith from Inside Out ride it next? In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
