Today, as part of Magic Key previews, we were able to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ahead of its grand opening on November 15. Park passes for Disneyland Park are completely sold out on the ride’s opening day.

The attraction, which is inspired by “The Princess and the Frog,” takes over for Splash Mountain which closed on May 31, 2023.

With most walls now down around the attraction, we were able to get a look at the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure sign and Ray’s Berets. The sign is virtually identical to the sign at Magic Kingdom.

Once through the touchpoints that begin the line, guests will enter the Main Entrance at the newly themed millhouse. The building is yellow with blue doors.
