Opening Date Announced for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in the Magic Kingdom

Mark your calendars because Disney has announced a magical opening date for the highly anticipated Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland.

Get ready to set sail on June 28th, 2024, for a whimsical journey through the heart of the bayou alongside Princess Tiana and her jazz-loving alligator friend, Louis. This exciting new attraction transforms the beloved Splash Mountain ride with a complete thematic overhaul, both inside and out.

Here is the official release:

“Drop on in” with Princess Tiana this summer, as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens in Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort on June 28!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure invites guests to join beloved characters Princess Tiana, Mama Odie, Louis, and all-new friends on a thrilling adventure, all set against the music and excitement of a New Orleans celebration. This new attraction will feature dozens of Audio-Animatronics figures, a foot-tapping soundtrack, and a celebration where everyone’s welcome.

They got music, it’s always playin’

Music is at the heart of New Orleans, and guests will be tapping their toes all throughout the attraction thanks in part to adorable critters, who play instruments made of natural materials found in the bayou. Tiana’s new friends include an otter, a rabbit, a racoon, a beaver, a turtle and more. Their spirited stylings will turn the bayou into a party with Zydeco, Rara, and Afro-Cuban music authentic to the region of New Orleans. There will be new, original music alongside favorite tunes from the film, created in collaboration with award-winning artists PJ Morton and Terence Blanchard.

In addition to musical critters, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure welcomes talent voices from the film as they reprise their roles, including Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen, Jenifer Lewis as Mama Odie, Michael-Leon Wooley as Louis, and the one and only Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana.

Grab somebody, come on down

As guests float through the cypress trees and Spanish moss of a beautiful Louisiana bayou, they may see some familiar faces as part of the dozens of entirely new Audio-Animatronics figures. Along with Princess Tiana, Louis and Mama Odie, keep an eye out for Eudora, Charlotte, Prince Ralphie, Prince Naveen and others. Between Disney’s iconic storytelling, technologically advanced Audio-Animatronics figures, and a thrilling 50-foot drop, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has enough fun for everyone!

As Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Princess and the Frog” makes its home in the Crescent City, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is more stuffed with authentic NOLA artistry than Charlotte is with Tiana’s “man-catching” beignets! Artwork from Louisiana artist Malaika Favorite will delight guests as part of the queue, and guests can see an original metalwork weathervane from third-generation master blacksmith, Darryl Reeves and his apprentice, Karina Roca. New Orleans artist Sharika Mahdi’s artwork has inspired the attraction from the beginning. And, for some lagniappe (a “little extra”) guests will have a nose full of the sweet scent of beignets being kept warm in the oven – reminiscent of strolling through the French Quarter – as part of the attraction queue.

Dreams do come true in New Orleans

The heart of Tiana’s story reminds guests that everyone has the potential to make their dreams a reality. With teams of Imagineers, Disney Animation artists, cast members and Louisiana artisans working together, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is sure to pass a good time when it opens at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida on June 28, 2024, and later in 2024 at Disneyland Park in California!

Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World Resort Obtains A Landmark Achievement in Culinary Excellence

Walt Disney World is home to many magical wonders, from thrilling rides to unforgettable shows, but nestled within the opulent Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa lies a true gem that has transcended the typical theme park fare to achieve global recognition: Victoria & Albert’s. This fine dining restaurant recently made headlines as it was awarded a coveted MICHELIN Star, a distinction that marks it as the first restaurant owned and operated by a U.S. theme park to earn such an honor.

Victoria-Alberts-at-Walt-Disney-World-Resort-A-Landmark-Achievement-in-Culinary-Excellence-3

Victoria & Albert’s has been a bastion of high culinary artistry, largely due to the vision and dedication of Chef Scott Hunnel, who led the restaurant for over 25 years. Under his mentorship, the current Chef de Cuisine, Matthew Sowers, has continued to elevate the dining experience with a commitment to using the highest quality ingredients sourced from across the globe. The restaurant boasts a wine list that features over 500 meticulously selected labels, complementing an exquisite chef’s menu that promises a harmonious dining journey.

Victoria-Alberts-at-Walt-Disney-World-Resort-A-Landmark-Achievement-in-Culinary-Excellence-4

Opening its doors alongside the Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in 1988, Victoria & Albert’s has consistently aimed to create unforgettable memories, maintaining that good food and service will always be fashionable. This philosophy resonates throughout the elegantly appointed spaces of the resort, where guests can experience the grandeur of its lobby, complete with stained-glass domes and shimmering chandeliers, and the melodic sounds of a grand piano.

Victoria-Alberts-at-Walt-Disney-World-Resort-A-Landmark-Achievement-in-Culinary-Excellence-2

The recognition by MICHELIN is seen as a dream come true for the team at Victoria & Albert’s, yet it is just the beginning. As Chef Sowers aptly puts it, the restaurant continues to aim higher, now aspiring for a second star, all while striving to transport guests away from the mundanity of daily life into a world of culinary delight. As more guests are drawn to this exceptional dining venue, the focus remains unwaveringly on the quality and creativity of each dining experience, proving that at Disney, the magic is not only in the attractions but also in the unforgettable flavors that await at Victoria & Albert’s.

Mickey and Minnie Deliver Joy at Children’s Hospital of Orange County

Laughter filled the halls of CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County) as Mickey and Minnie Mouse made a heartwarming return! These beloved characters, absent since 2019, brought the joy of Disneyland directly to patients’ rooms. The precious moments of meeting favorite Disney friends created lasting memories and a much-needed escape for children and their families during their hospital stay.

“When Disney comes to visit CHOC, Disney’s magic isn’t just a fantasy—it’s a beacon of hope, joy, and wonder that transforms moments of uncertainty into cherished memories for patients and families alike,” said Eric Mammen, Creative Arts Supervisor – Child Life Department at CHOC. “We are so grateful for the opportunity for our patients and families to experience these moments provided by the Disney characters and cast members.”

In addition to sharing smiles with their favorite Disney pals, patients were also left with a small touch of magic with their own plush Mickey Mouse to remember the visit and inspire them for the future.

Disney has a devoted legacy of providing joy for patients at CHOC, dating back to Walt Disney’s time on the hospital’s founding board in 1960 and his fundraising efforts to help bring the hospital to life in Orange County.

As CHOC celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, the Disneyland Resort is proud to continue its longstanding support in a variety of ways, including the hospital’s beloved annual fundraiser, CHOC Walk in the Park, which has raised over $44 million for healthcare programs and research for over 30 years. From supporting the child-friendly design of the Bill Holmes Tower to creating the interactive “Turtle Talk with Crush” show in the lobby and countless hours of commitment by Disney VoluntEARS each year, the resort is committed to providing moments of joy for patients and families at CHOC.

Following the success of the 2023 walk, which raised over $2.2 million, Disney previously announced that CHOC Walk in the Park will return to Disneyland Resort on Sunday, July 21, 2024! The 5k walk takes participants on an inspiring early-morning journey through Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park – while raising funds one step at a time to support the hospital’s vital programs and research.

New Cruise Terminal Coming to Port Canaveral

Get ready for smoother sailing! Port Canaveral announced plans for a brand new, multi-user cruise terminal. This strategic move will help them accommodate the booming cruise industry, welcoming the world’s largest ships across various cruise lines.

Here’s what you can expect:

Faster Construction: The new terminal will be built at the existing North 8 berth, minimizing disruption and allowing for a speedy completion within two years.
Cost-Effective Expansion: This strategic location offers significant cost savings, allowing them to invest more in guest experiences.
Operational Flexibility: The multi-user design ensures the terminal can adapt to different cruise lines and ship sizes.

“We have cruise partners with immediate needs to locate assets in Florida and Port Canaveral is where they want to be,” stated Capt. John Murray, Port Canaveral CEO. “Our ability to efficiently bring a new cruise terminal online was key to retaining and growing this important business segment that supports many jobs and delivers high value to our regional and state economy.”

Why North 8 Berth?

Perfect Location: The new terminal will be built at the existing North 8 berth. This spot is ideal because:
- It shares a basin with the existing Cruise Terminal 5, making efficient use of space.
- North 8 was built in 2018 with flexibility in mind, so modifications to accommodate larger ships will be minimal.
- The vacant land around North 8 allows for construction with minimal disruption to current port operations.

Designed for the Future:

The new terminal will be equipped with the latest technology to seamlessly handle various cruise lines and ship sizes. This multi-user approach will further enhance Port Canaveral’s position as a leading cruise destination.

“A new cruise terminal and the business it will deliver builds on our Board’s commitment to the economic prosperity of our Port community,” said Micah Loyd, Chairman of the Canaveral Port Authority Board of Commissioners. “This proactive, business-oriented strategy reaffirms our commitment to ensure the State of Florida continues to prosper from cruise tourism and remains the ‘Cruise Capital of the World’.”
