It seems that all sorts of changes are taking place on the West Coast!

Over at Disneyland, we’re SO CLOSE to welcoming the addition of Tiana’s Palace Restaurant, which opens to the public on September 6th. Plus, the Mint Julep Bar will return once Tiana’s Palace opens! As if there wasn’t already enough excitement taking place over at New Orleans Square, Disney just shared some exciting news.

Disney shared that NEW UPDATES would soon take place near New Orleans Square! Not only will the grounds of Haunted Mansion be expanded to house an all-new merchandise shop and garden themed to Madame Leota, but the plaza area next to Tiana’s Palace will also be enhanced as well.

“This area is one that holds a lot of memories and history,” Disney said. “A new, elegant, park-like setting will be a place to relax and enjoy the ambiance and live entertainment under the shade of new and historic trees.”

Wow! Based on the artist’s concept, we can already tell that the area will make for a beautiful new addition. Construction on both the Haunted Mansion expansion and the plaza enhancements next to Tiana’s Palace will begin in January 2024 — which is pretty soon!

We’ll continue to keep you updated with more news regarding the updates so that you’re always in the loop. As soon as construction starts, we’ll be there to check that out, too! Make sure to follow along for more so that you never miss a thing.
