Detailed Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Art Added to Online Walt Disney World Map

The virtual map of Magic Kingdom on the Walt Disney World website and My Disney Experience app has been updated to include a detailed artistic rendering of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on Magic Kingdom Map

Map showing an Frontierland in Magic Kingdom with various attractions highlighted with stars. The focul point is a mountainous structure labeled "Tiana's Bayou Adventure Opening June 26, 2024."

When the attraction was added to the map in June 2023, the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure logo was just placed over the image of Splash Mountain. The old attraction’s tree was even still visible. The new artwork shows the former mountain covered in lush greenery with the Tiana’s Foods water tower. The barn in the attraction’s queue now has yellow walls. Trees are no longer pictured on the peninsula surrounded by the ride’s flume on the right.

Illustrated map highlighting "Tiana's Bayou Adventure" attraction's launch date set for June 28, 2024, featuring a river, boat, greenery, and buildings.

The briars of Splash Mountain are replaced with floating lily flowers. The landscape is dotted with flowers and gray stones. Moss covers the edges of the millhouse roof and the welcome banner is just barely visible on the front of the building.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is labeled like other Magic Kingdom attractions but with the tag “Opening June 28, 2024.” The gift shops, Critter Co-Op and Tiana’s Bayou General, are not yet labeled.

In the story of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the mountain is now an abandoned salt mine in the bayou of Louisiana that the employees of Tiana’s Foods have turned into their headquarters. The attraction uses the same structure and ride track as Splash Mountain but with significant theming changes.
