New ‘Mardi Gras Season’ Posters Added to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Construction Walls at Magic Kingdom
New “Mardi Gras Season” posters have been added to the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure construction walls at Magic Kingdom, joining Southern Dome Salt Company stamps, Tiana’s Foods signs, Tiana’s Foods advertisements, and a Louis photo op.
Mardi Gras Season Posters
The new posters are at multiple spots along the construction walls, including around the attraction’s future entrance under the Frontierland train station.
The posters are mostly purple, with touches of yellow and green — the colors of Mardi Gras. They read:
Celebrate Mardi Gras Season
Everybody’s Welcome!
At the home of New Orleans royalty — Princess Tiana & Prince Naveen
The image on the poster depicts a band comprised of a banjo player, a drummer, a tambourine player, a trombone player, a bass player, and another singer. Palm trees are silhouetted around the border with hands holding jazz instruments.
Mardi Gras is usually celebrated in February or March every year, marking the end of the Carnival festival season. Though Mardi Gras has already passed this year, the holiday will be celebrated year-round on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

While visiting Magic Kingdom on Friday, we also heard music playing from the attraction. “Down in New Orleans” from “The Princess and the Frog” was audible behind construction walls. Guests have heard this song testing at the attraction before.
Hear the song in our video below.
A quick look around the rest of the construction site didn’t reveal many more changes, and the stormy weather meant crews weren’t out working. New gold detailing has been added to the tops of some of the blue lampposts in the queue.
One crew member was watering plants under the train station. More plants have been added around the sidewalk that loops under the station.
The wait time and Lightning Lane signage still haven’t been installed at the attraction’s entrance. The frames were installed earlier this week.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open at Magic Kingdom on June 28. Read more about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

VIDEO: Journey Into Imagination with Figment Flushing Toilet Effect Fixed
The flushing toilet effect on Journey Into Imagination with Figment in EPCOT has been fixed, reportedly after reportedly not working for many years.
Journey Into Imagination Toilet Effect
The flower-painted toilet is right above guests’ heads in the bathroom of Figment’s upside-down house. The inside of the toilet is lit with a yellow-green light. Though the light has been on, the flushing effect has not been operational for some time. The upside-down house was part of the previous version of the ride, Journey Into YOUR Imagination.
