A BIG addition is coming to Disneyland Park!

We’ve been watching the construction of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for months now, and after the opening of the same ride in Magic Kingdom, we’re even more eager to check out the Disneyland version. It’s opening soon, and now we’ve got a FIRST LOOK inside the ride!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland is set to open on November 15th, 2024. The ride features a storyline set after the finale of The Princess and the Frog, with Tiana, Naveen, and Louis planning a massive bayou celebration. As part of a media event, we got to set foot on the ride a little bit early.

However, there’s one big problem — the party needs musicians! Tiana and Louis head into the bayou to search for some talented critters to play at the party and find some surprises along the way. The ride features several songs from the film, as well as an all-new tune in the finale.

We’ve already gotten the chance to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure several times in Disney World, but now we’re eager to check out the Disneyland version. Starting with the queue, you enter the attraction area and you’re immediately greeted by the office and kitchen area of Tiana’s Foods.

There are plenty of hidden details throughout the queue, including photos of Tiana and her family.

We even spotted the recipe for the gumbo that Tiana’s dad makes. She framed it along with his signature gumbo spoon — how sweet!

Before you get to the loading area, you’ll spot a small screen that shows the safety video. Let’s ride!

Once you board the log, you’re off on a bayou adventure! Here, the ride was very similar to the Magic Kingdom version, except it seems to have a little less “dead space” throughout.

You first take a lap outside of the mountain and ride through the garden area. Such a pretty view!

Then, it’s time to head down into the bayou and search for some critters. There are several animatronics of Tiana and Louis throughout.

We spotted some musical critters — let’s take them to the party!

Of course, one of the most stunning scenes is the room with all the fireflies. Ray’s whole family showed up to party with us.

After that, it was time to dig a little deeper with Mama Odie. Who’s ready for the big drop?!

We took a short lap around the base of the mountain and then headed to Tiana and Naveen’s party. It’s a Mardi Gras celebration!

Here we spotted Lottie and Eudora in their finest party clothes…

…as well as Tiana, Naveen, and Louis. This scene features a brand-new song, written for the ride!

And that’s a wrap on our visit to the bayou! Stay tuned to DFB for more updates about this new attraction.
