We’re “Almost There,” y’all! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be officially opening in Magic Kingdom to the public TOMORROW, on June 28th.
Now, we finally had a chance to check out the ride for ourselves, although it’s been having some technical issues. We have seen a sneak peek at some Tiana’s Bayou Adventure merchandise, but one select group of Disney World visitors is getting EXCLUSIVE merchandise that will be available soon!
So when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure officially opens, the two shops it will eventually have — Critter Co-Op and Tiana’s Bayou General — will not be opening with it. BUT new ride merchandise will still be available. If you happen to be a Disney World Annual Passholder, we’re just going to tell you that you’ll need to make a beeline straight for the Emporium because you’re getting EXCLUSIVE Tiana’s Bayou merchandise there.
That’s right, if you’re an Annual Passholder, you can grab some exclusive limited-release Tiana’s Bayou Adventure souvenirs starting on June 28th. You’ll find the new exclusive collections at the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A., and then later at Criter Co-Op and Tiana’s Bayou General in Frontierland. You will also be able to use Mobile Checkout at both Emporium and Critter Co-Op. We also have a sneak peek at one of the exclusive items, a Tiana’s Bayou Adventure t-shirt.
Passholders must have valid theme park admission to enter Magic Kingdom, as well as a park pass reservation unless visiting the park after 2PM. At the time of purchase, you’ll need to present your valid Passholder ID, which can be found in the “Tickets and Passes” section of the My Disney Experience app.
For those wanting to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on opening day, there will be a virtual queue available or you can purchase Genie+ (which will become Lightning Lane Multi-Pass in a month) and try to get a Lightning Lane through that. We can imagine that there will be a LOT of demand for the ride over the next few days, so you’ll have to be quick and lucky to grab a spot!
We’ll be in Magic Kingdom on opening day for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to report on crowds, lines, and anything else, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
