In the heart of Florida's Walt Disney World Resort, an attraction is on the horizon that captures the essence of New Orleans' Mardi Gras: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. This summer, guests of the Magic Kingdom Park will be transported into a world inspired by the beloved Disney story “The Princess and the Frog” and the vibrant legacy of Princess Tiana.
Tiana's Magical Journey Begins
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure celebrates the culture and music of New Orleans in a way that takes guests straight to the heart of Mardi Gras. Princess Tiana, now at the helm of her adventure, guides visitors “a little deeper” into the events that follow the film. A nighttime boat ride through the bayou promises an atmosphere filled with music, magic, and the hospitality of new friends.
Music that Captures the Soul of New Orleans
The music, the beating heart of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, immerses visitors in the soundtrack of New Orleans. In collaboration with musicians PJ Morton and Terence Blanchard, a blend of original pieces and familiar tunes from “The Princess and the Frog” was created. From Zydeco to other regional music styles, the sounds are authentic and inviting.
Meeting old and new friends
The attraction houses an impressive collection of audio-animatronics, including many beloved characters like Louis, Mama Odie, and Princess Tiana herself. Additionally, new faces make an appearance, accompanied by the voices of famous actors from the film. This ensemble of characters vividly expresses the story and allows visitors to become part of Disney's magical world.
An artwork honoring New Orleans
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is not just an attraction, but also a tribute to the art and culture of Louisiana. Works by local artists like Malaika Favorite and Sharika Mahdi, as well as artful metal works by Darryl Reeves and Karina Roca, enrich the experience. The scent of freshly baked beignets wafting through the air completes the immersive experience, evoking memories of the French Quarter.
An Unforgettable Summer Experience
With the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom Park, an unparalleled highlight awaits. This attraction is a declaration of love for New Orleans and its distinctive culture – an invitation for all to experience the magical world of Princess Tiana and the joy of Mardi Gras firsthand. An adventure that remains memorable and makes every Disney fan's heart beat faster.
