Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has been welcoming folks down to the bayou for a while now, and just when we thought we had seen every little detail — Disney goes and adds something new for us to see!
The ride is hosted by none other than Princess Tiana, of course. She’s hosting a Mardi Gras Party for the people of New Orleans and you’re invited! Whether or not you’ve had a chance to check out this ride or not, the next time you do it’ll be like the first time thanks to these new additions at Magic Kingdom.
Something NEW has popped up at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom! When the ride first premiered, many fans were upset to see that Ray the Firefly was nowhere to be found. Since Tiana’s Bayou Adventure takes place after the final movie scene from The Princess and the Frog, Ray is dead after being killed by Dr. Facilier. At the end of the movie, Ray is reunited with his beloved Evangeline, the star he falls in love with after mistaking her for a firefly.
But now, Ray and Evangeline have been added to a scene close to the attraction’s finale in the form of two stars!
Disney shared a behind-the-scenes look on the Walt Disney Imagineering Instagram page and said, “Imagineers added extra magic to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” by adding Ray and Evangeline.
We’re not quite sure if these additions were planned to be there from the very beginning or if Disney decided to add them recently, but either way — we’re thrilled to see more characters from The Princess and the Frog movie at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!
In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for the latest news from Disney World and more. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more updates and announcements so you don’t miss a thing!
