Disney4me Posted May 12, 2024 Report Share Posted May 12, 2024 Well, this is interesting. Model of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at the 2022 D23 Expo For MONTHS, we’ve been watching all of the progress happening in Magic Kingdom as Splash Mountain is transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. We’ve been watching for updates about the ride’s animatronics, eagerly awaiting the chance to smell beignets in the queue(!!), and sharing the latest news with you. Disney already announced that the ride would be opening in Magic Kingdom in the summer of 2024, but then we got a SURPRISE announcement. Disney shared a press release stating that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in Magic Kingdom on June 28th, 2024. The news came early on the morning of May 12th, but here’s where things get interesting. Before dropping the press release, Disney teased a “special announcement as we gear up to celebrate the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World!” There’s a “Disney Night” episode of American Idol premiering May 12th at 8PM ET on ABC. ©Disney But shortly after sharing that press release with the opening date, Disney took down the announcement. So…did Disney accidentally reveal the opening date EARLY? The press release dateline reads “(TBA, 2024),” which leads us to believe that this was NOT ready for the public to see.

Press Release Removed From Press Website So, I guess we’re gonna wait and see what’s announced on American Idol tonight and hope it’s the OFFICIAL official opening date! We’re Expecting Disney To Confirm Some BIG Tiana’s Bayou Adventure News TONIGHT Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a Princess and the Frog re-theme of Splash Mountain.
