The Walt Disney World Resort announced that its upcoming Tiana's Bayou Adventure attraction at the Magic Kingdom will finally debut on June 28.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is set in New Orleans and the surrounding Louisiana bayou during a Mardi Gras celebration. The ride will feature music and theme songs from The Princess and the Frog movie, as well as new music created just for the attraction.

In addition to Tiana and the film’s familiar tunes, the Bayou Adventure will also feature other popular characters like Mama Odie, Louis and Prince Naveen, as well as new characters designed specifically for the new attraction.

For Disney World visitors looking for the new ride, it will replace the classic Splash Mountain, which closed in 2023. 

At Disneyland, plans are in place for another Tiana's Bayou Adventure to open in late 2024.

While the attraction is scheduled to open on June 28 to the general public, Disney World officials revealed that Cast Members, Annual Passholders and eligible Disney Vacation Club Members will be eligible for a sneak peak, starting on May 14.
