As the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World draws near, set for June 28, Disney has unveiled an inside look at the creative process behind the attraction’s iconic water tower. Crafted in collaboration with Orlando-based Icarus Exhibits, the tower features a majestic tiara topping its 32-foot structure and bears the Tiana’s Foods co-op logo, integrating elements from Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog.”

The design and construction process was a partnership between Walt Disney Imagineering and Icarus Exhibits, a local business specializing in themed environments since 1987. Peter Ricci, principal show manager at Walt Disney Imagineering, highlighted the longstanding relationship with Icarus, noting their consistent delivery of exceptional results. The collaborative effort included meticulous planning from initial design mock-ups to the final installation, ensuring the water tower not only resonates with the story of Tiana’s Foods but also enhances the immersive experience at the parks.

The project is a testament to Disney’s commitment to supporting local small businesses, showcasing how such collaborations can lead to spectacular creations within the parks. Icarus, having contributed to various Disney projects over the years, reflects on the growth and opportunities this partnership has provided, expanding their reach to other major clients like NASA. The new Tiana’s Foods water tower, now a part of the landscape at both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park, is ready to greet guests, adding another layer to the rich narrative Disney parks are known for.
