REVIEW: Tiana's Bayou Adventure POPCORN Exists, and There's Cheese Involved, People.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is here!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom

After years of construction and weeks of previews that prooobably could have gone better, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is FINALLY open to the public! The highly-anticipated Magic Kingdom attraction opened on June 28th to massive virtual queue demand and a crowded park. Like any other major Disney World opening, Tiana’s is being accompanied by a new merchandise collection, and our focus today: SNACKS.

There’s a litany of new snacks available for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The two that caught our eye today are the NEW popcorn mixes available at the Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Confectionery for $15.99 each.

Yum!

One is more of a savory mix, while the other one is sugary and sweet! So, are these unique creations worth a try? Let’s find out!

Tiana’s Bayou Crunch

This mix is made up of cajun cheddar popcorn with M&M’S, peanut butter chocolate candies, cheddar crackers, pretzel pieces, and white chocolatey drizzle.

We found that the flavor mixture of the sweet ingredients and the popcorn and Goldfish worked well enough, producing a sweet and savory combo. We also noticed a low heat in the dish, which likely indicated some spices used here.

Overall, we’d recommend the Bayou Crunch mix to anyone looking for a different spin on popcorn or simply wanting a savory treat. That said, we’d probably recommend steering clear if you’re simply in the mood for popcorn on its own and don’t feel like digging through so many layers.

Tiana’s Sweet Popcorn Serenade

This second popcorn mix is made up of carmel popcorn with praline pecans, M&M’S caramel chocolate candies, pretzel pieces, and dark chocolatey drizzle.

If that description didn’t make it clear, this mix drops any pretense of savory and goes for FULL-ON sweet. It’s very chocolatey — perhaps for some too chocolatey — though the pretzels give it a hard crunch and the caramel popcorn counters that with a little bit of a chewiness.

We’d definitely recommend this snack if you have a sweet tooth, especially if you have someone else with a sweet tooth to share it with. However, it’s probably best to stay away from it if you don’t care for milk chocolate.

These somewhat ooey gooey popcorn mixes are just some of the special snacks debuting with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, including a real-life version of Tiana’s beignets that are a core element of the attraction’s story.

Disney giveth, and Disney taketh away. Forget about the fresh fruit waffle — there’s a new menu over at Golden Oak Outpost (with BEIGNETS)!
