Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Opens June 28th in Disney World

Here’s everything you need to know about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

The wait to experience Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is almost over. The ride officially opens in Disney World on June 28, 2024. Still no word when the ride will open in Disneyland but they have started testing logs in the Disneyland location.

You can check out our exclusive video of that here.

Until then though, we here at Your Disney Scoop have everything you need to know about the thrilling ride with an amazing 50-foot drop!  Here’s the top 5 things you need to know.

Virtual Queues

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will use a virtual queue. You can request to join the virtual queue via the My Disney Experience app at one of two times: 7 a.m. or 1 p.m. While a standby queue will not be available during the attraction’s initial opening days, Disney World officials say they expect to open a standby queue soon after the attraction’s opening.

Visit disneyworld.com/virtualqueue for more details about how virtual queues at Disney World work and what you need to know before visiting Magic Kingdom.

Disney Genie+ service

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will also be included as a Lightning Lane entrance in Disney Genie+ service. Guests may check the app on the day of their visit for pricing and availability.

New Photos

Disney PhotoPass Service will serve up a special photo as you experience the 50-foot drop on this amazing, new water ride.

You Will Get Wet 

Yees, you are probably going to get wet on this ride, but there are ways to stay dry. Ponchos or Shower caps work great!  I personally use the shower cap method on water rides all the time. You can see me here getting ready to experience a water ride in Disneyland using the shower cap method. My kids prefer using ponchos.

Ponchos are available at several stores at all Disney Resorts, including the Magic Kingdom, where you will ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.  You can also buy affordable ones on Amazon. Here’s a link to my Disney Amazon Shop for purchase. If you do purchase from this link, I do receive a small commission.

New Merch & Food

Starting June 28, you can grab all new merchandise for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and “The Princess and the Frog.”

Merch will be found at the Emporium and the Critter Co-Op in Frontierland.

Additionally, special beignets will be offered at  Golden Oak Outpost and The Friar’s Nook.
