Disney has a knack for weaving subtle tributes into their new attractions, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom is no exception. As fans explore the re-imagined Frontierland attraction, many have picked out a heartfelt nod to the beloved Splash Mountain within the queue’s barn.

Perched on a shelf above Tiana’s desk, this tribute is a great Easter egg for eagle-eyed fans. Among the items, you’ll find a green flower pot flanked by small statues of a bear, a fox, and a rabbit. These figures are charming references to Br’er Bear, Br’er Fox, and Br’er Rabbit, the iconic characters of Splash Mountain.

On the other side of the pot, there’s a frog statue, a subtle homage to Br’er Frog, the narrator of the classic ride. You will also note a riverboat next to the frog, which seems to be a nod to the riverboat scene guests would encounter in the large Splash Mountain finale scene.
