The Magic Kingdom braille map now includes Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which officially opened on June 28, and Country Bear Musical Jamboree, which opens in July.
The braille map is mounted over a railing outside the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. The map’s current design was introduced last year when Splash Mountain was removed.
The lands of Magic Kingdom are color-coded (for any seeing folks who may glance at the map) but also have different textures. Attractions are labeled with raised English and braille letters at the ends of raised lines.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Country Bear Musical Jamboree are both on the left side of the map.
A new paper Magic Kingdom guidemap featuring Tiana’s Bayou Adventure was also released.

Welcome to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World! Join Princess Tiana and her jazz-loving alligator friend, Louis, on an enchanting journey through the shimmering bayou. This exhilarating log flume ride, inspired by Disney’s beloved film The Princess and the Frog, takes you on a musical adventure filled with twists, turns, and a thrilling 50-foot drop.
Set a year after the events of the movie, Tiana has created an employee-owned food cooperative called Tiana’s Foods. As you float through the bayou, you’ll help Tiana and Louis find the perfect band for her Mardi Gras celebration. Along the way, you’ll encounter new and familiar faces, including Mama Odie, Prince Naveen, and a host of musical critters playing instruments made from natural materials found in the bayou.
Prepare to be immersed in the vibrant sights and sounds of New Orleans, with a foot-tapping soundtrack featuring both new and classic songs from the film. With dozens of advanced Audio-Animatronics figures and stunning visual effects, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure promises a magical experience for guests of all ages.
So, grab somebody and come on down to the bayou for a celebration like no other! Let’s watch the full ride POV of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World!
A new Princess Tiana sipper has debuted at Magic Kingdom to celebrate the park’s opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
We found the sipper for sale at one of the Castle hub carts, but it can also be purchased from The Friar’s Nook. The sipper can be added to the purchase of any soft drink, and is limited to two per person, per transaction.
The cup portion of the sipper is a translucent green color, and features art of Ray the firefly, Louis, Tiana’s Palace, a Tiana’s Place menu, a crown, filigree, and more.
A plastic figure of Tiana in her lilypad dress sits at the top on the matching green lid.
A clear green straw wraps around the exterior of the sipper and sticks up at the top.
This Princess Tiana sipper design is similar to a Princess Belle sipper that was released last August at Disneyland Park.
Will you be grabbing this sipper on your next visit to Magic Kingdom? Let us know in the comments or on social media.

Among the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure merchandise available at Magic Kingdom is a toy that hints at a potentially lost Splash Mountain reference.
We found it for sale in the Emporium, but it will likely also be for sale in Critter Co-Op once the store opens.
The toy resembles one of the ride’s log vehicles. Three critters — Rufus the Turtle, Sebastián the Louisiana Black Bear, and Phina the Gray Fox — sit in the seats. And a rabbit head is on the front of the vehicle.
A full-body Br’er Rabbit figure used to be on the front of the Splash Mountain logs in Magic Kingdom, as seen in the photo below. Just Br’er Rabbit’s head was on the logs in Disneyland and the toy seems inspired by those logs specifically.
For Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the rabbit figures were removed from the logs and were not replaced with a different figure. The toy suggests that Disney was originally planning to keep the rabbits as an homage to Splash Mountain. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure also features critters, including Gritty the Rabbit, so it would have made sense. But it seems Disney decided to remove the figures at the last minute and it was too late to change the design of the log toy.
There is a Splash Mountain tribute in the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure queue.

Golden Oak Outpost at Magic Kingdom has new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure-inspired lavender lemonade, beignets, gumbo, and hot honey chicken.
Golden Oak Outpost is a quick-service kiosk near Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, between Frontierland Adventureland.
The special Tiana’s Bayou Adventure menu items are Frozen Bayou Lavender Lemonade, Tiana’s Famous Beignets, Hot Honey Chicken with Sweet Potato Fries, and Shrimp Gumbo with Sweet Potato Fries. For now, the themed dishes are the only food items available at Golden Oak.
Golden Oak also sells bottled beverages and water.
Chicken Nuggets tossed in Hot Sauce-Honey served with New Orleans Olive Relish and Cajun-spiced Sweet Potato Fries
This chicken is better than your standard Walt Disney World chicken nuggets. The sweet potato fries were also delicious and had a nice kick. The chicken nuggets weren’t as spicy as the fries. It was enjoyable and we ate every bite.

Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gumbo topped with Cajun-spiced Sweet Potato Fries
This was a favorite in our group. The flavors are on point. The gumbo is even better when combined with the sweet potato fries. For only two dollars more, this is a better option than the chicken. It leaves us wanting more.

Light, sweet, and fluffy Beignets with Powdered Sugar and drizzled with Honey
The flavor of these beignets is great. You can taste a lot of honey. There’s an overly gratuitous portion of powdered sugar. The inside of the beignets are delicate and soft but the exteriors are a little tough, leaving us to think they had been sitting around for a while. There are better beignet options at Walt Disney World, namely at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort.

Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with flavors of Lavender inspired by New Orleans’ influence on American Cuisine
This is extremely refreshing on a hot summer day. The lavender flavor was quite prominent — perhaps a little too much so. But there were few complaints as the drink was still delicious. A little less lavender would’ve gone a long way.
