Okay, it’s SO exciting leading up to the opening of a new ride in Disney World.

We’ve been obsessing about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure way back when Disney first announced that the new ride would replace Splash Mountain. We’ve loved seeing all the details come together while we followed along with the construction of the ride in Magic Kingdom. We lost our MINDS seeing some of the animatronics for the ride (and they are SO impressive). We recently even heard a new song from the ride with even MORE of a sneak peek. Now, though, we’ve seen another KEY detail of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure: it’s what the Cast Members will be wearing!

Okay, so this isn’t the VERY first look we’ve seen of the outfits because we’ve seen Cast Members in their outfits riding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. But that didn’t give us a very good look at the new outfits. Now, we’ve seen the outfits IN FULL. We love how cute they are. The new costumes have pretty patterned shirts with a fun little tie, along with berets (the beret is totally giving us Naveen vibes).

Paired with brown pants, these Cast Members look like they just stepped right out of the bayou. A huge thank you to Cast Members Becky and Jilly for modeling the new outfits for us. Don’t they look AMAZING?

It’s a good thing we don’t have long to wait for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to open. Early previews start in June for Cast Members, DVC members, D23 Gold members, and Disney World Annual Passholders. The ride opens to the public on June 28th — we can’t wait to make a splash in the bayou!

The ride will pick up after the events of The Princess and the Frog. Tiana now has a successful business, Tiana’s Foods, and she’s throwing a HUGE party for the people of New Orleans. But she’s missing a key ingredient for something she needs for the party, so we’ll have to hop into a log and take an adventure down the bayou to find it for her.

We’ll be meeting some new characters along the way, like some fun musician critters, as well as some frogs and a quiet, mischievous armadillo. Of course, some familiar characters, like Louie and Mama Odie will be putting in an appearance. We’ve also seen an animatronic for Tiana’s BFF, Charlotte “Lottie” La Bouff.

One thing’s for certain. We’ll be checking out Tiana’s Bayou Adventure as soon as we can, so you’ll be getting ALL the juicy details. We’ll also be there on opening day in Magic Kingdom reporting live, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
