The Princess and the Frog-themed ride will open to everyone on June 28th, 2024. But previews for exclusive groups of Disney fans start next week . We just got a first look inside the attraction, but now the CONSTRUCTION WALLS are down! Let’s get into it!

We were SO EXCITED to see that Disney has taken the walls down around Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!

The construction walls are DOWN at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!

And with those walls down, we’re getting our FIRST LOOK at the ride sign!

It’s the first time we’re seeing the sign for the new ride!

We know that lots of things change between the initial concept for a ride and the actual construction and ride design, but wow, that sign is SO CLOSE to the one we saw in a model displayed at the D23 Expo in 2022.

New Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Souvenirs Are Coming to Disney World!

We were there at rope drop to get our first look at what was behind the walls, and there were big crowds waiting for the rope to drop in Adventureland. Kinda chaotic!

Lots of folks ready to go at rope drop!

We can finally see those adorable frogs on a log!

FROGS!!

Now, if you’re planning to ride when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens at Disney World, here’s what you need to know! There are two ways to do so. You can either purchase Genie+ and make a Lightning Lane reservation for the attraction, or you can join the Virtual Queue at 7AM or 1PM. The Virtual Queue can be TRICKY, especially for brand new rides – learn all about it here.

Just remember that you won’t be able to walk up and get in a standby line for this ride when it opens — you’ll need to prepare by using Genie+ or getting in that Virtual Queue, so do your prep work in advance!

Don’t forget — this ride is also coming to Disneyland! Construction is moving quickly in California, too! We don’t have an opening date for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland just yet, but it is set to open sometime in 2024.

The Disney Parks Instagram account shared a first look at the new sign in a new post. The sign itself is made of twisting greenery to form two poles, which hold up a purple sign that reads “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.” A small yellow lily flower sits inside the “O” in “Bayou.” Two large pink lily lamps illuminate the sign on either side.
