Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, New Attraction Coming to Walt Disney World

Just in time for Mardi Gras, Disney announced that soon it will be Mardi Gras every day when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens at Walt Disney World Resort this summer in Orlando. Following the events of the beloved Walt Disney Animation Studios 2009 film "The Princess and the Frog," this new attraction “digs a little deeper” into the story of Princess Tiana and reminds guests that the heart of Tiana’s story is that everyone has the potential to make their dreams a reality.

At Tiana’s Bayou Adventure the princess will be joined by a whole boatful of new friends to light up the bayou with music and magic. Guests will float through the cypress trees and Spanish moss on their way towards a stomach-swooping 50-foot drop that ends with a refreshing wave of water. Fans can expect to see some familiar faces as part of the dozens of entirely new Audio-Animatronics figures created by Disney’s world-famous Imagineers. As guests make their way through the attraction, there will be new, original music alongside favorite tunes from the film, created in collaboration with award-winning artists PJ Morton and Terence Blanchard. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure welcomes back voice talents reprising their roles from the film, including Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen, Jenifer Lewis as Mama Odie, Michael Leon Wooley as Louis and the one and only Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana.
