The new permit contracts Balfour Beatty Construction LLC. Belfour Beatty Construction has previously worked on Pandora – The World of AVATAR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT.


The permit will expire on June 30, 2024, but that doesn’t necessarily mean construction will be finished by that date. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is scheduled to open sometime in 2024.

The all-new adventure which will bring guests into the world of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ film “The Princess and the Frog” like never before is coming to Magic Kingdom in Florida and Disneyland park in California in late 2024.

Walt Disney Imagineers have been frequent travelers to Louisiana while conducting extensive research to ensure Tiana’s Bayou Adventure preserves the heart and soul of the city that inspired Princess Tiana’s story. From exploring the French Market and the bayou, to consulting with academics, chefs, musicians and cultural institutions, Imagineers have received inspiration from all over the region and learned from local experts along the way.

First announced in 2020, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will take guests on a musical adventure inspired by the beloved story and characters from the fan-favorite film. Picking up where the film left off, guests will join Princess Tiana, Naveen and jazz-loving alligator Louis on an adventure through the bayou as they prepare to host a one-of-a-kind Mardi Gras celebration where everyone is welcome. Along the way, guests will encounter familiar faces, make new friends and travel through the bayou to original music inspired by songs from the film as they are brought into the next chapter of Tiana’s story.

Disney has not shared a set closing date for Splash Mountain but rumors have been circulating that it could be January of 2023. Are you looking forward to the new Tiana’ Bayou Adventure or will you miss Splash Mountain?
