Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Launching in late 2024, the new attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, is poised to enchant visitors at both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. This immersive experience unfolds a year following the storyline of “The Princess and the Frog.” Tiana, the entrepreneurial force behind the employee-owned food co-op, Tiana’s Foods, has transformed an old salt dome into a hub for crop cultivation by her team. The ride takes participants on a journey with Tiana and Louis as they venture into the bayou in pursuit of a crucial ingredient for their Mardi Gras celebration. Keep an eye out for appearances by Prince Naveen and Mama Odie. For the latest progress on the construction, be sure to explore our most recent update.
Star Tours
2024 will bring exciting updates to Star Tours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris, introducing novel destinations, some of which have never been explored before. Additionally, in the spring, the beloved character Ahsoka Tano will become a new addition to the ride.
Haunted Mansion
Commencing January 22, 2024, The Haunted Mansion is slated for an extensive refurbishment. This project encompasses the enhancement of the Haunted Mansion grounds, featuring an extended outdoor queue, fresh gardens, a fountain, a gazebo, a greenhouse, and a themed retail shop designed as a carriage house. While speculation suggests that the standard version of the attraction may not resume until early 2025, there’s a possibility that the revamped grounds could debut in the fall of 2024, coinciding with the return of the Haunted Mansion Holiday.
Avengers Campus Attraction
While the prospect of an opening in 2024 seems slim, Disney Imagineering is actively designing a multiverse attraction showcasing King Thanos for Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure. In the concept art unveiled in September 2023, the ride’s world-jumping vehicle is prominently featured.
