After years of waiting, Disney finally announced an opening date for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom!
Not only that, but we’ve officially got details on how the virtual queue and Genie+ will work, and just who will get to preview the new ride before it officially opens. Disney announced that Annual Passholders, Cast Members, DVC Members, and D23 Members would all have the opportunity to preview Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and if you’re a passholder trying to snag a spot — we’ve got an update for you!
Disney also announced that Annual Passholder previews for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be taking place on June 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 20! But, things were set up a bit differently than what we’ve seen with AP previews in the past.

This time around, passholders were required to make a Magic Kingdom park pass reservation on these dates in order to try for the 7AM virtual queue drop — which is only open to Annual Passholders. The 1PM virtual queue required a park pass reservation to any park, not just Magic Kingdom. Passholders were met with quite a long queue when trying to secure reservations on the morning of May 14th. At one point, our wait time was more than an hour!

Here’s the problem, though — Magic Kingdom park pass reservations are already sold out for Annual Passholders on every preview date offered. This means that if you didn’t already snag your park pass for the passholder preview dates, you won’t be able to try and snag the 7AM virtual queue drop.
As of publishing, though, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom still have availability for those preview dates, so you could still make a reservation at any of those parks and try for the 1PM virtual queue drop instead.

It also looks like Annual Passholders who have hotel reservations on any of these dates can still book Magic Kingdom park pass reservations, so if you’ve got a trip planned on those dates or are thinking about booking one — you might still be in luck! We’ll be keeping an eye on this situation as it’s entirely possible Disney could choose to release more park passes for passholders, but we don’t know for sure just yet.
