Exciting news for Disney fans! Walt Disney World has unveiled a complete POV video of the much-anticipated ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. This ride replaces the beloved Splash Mountain with an enchanting new experience based on the 2009 animated film “The Princess and the Frog.”
Set after the events of the movie, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure takes guests on a magical journey through the lush bayou, following Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, and their friends. Gone are Dr. Facilier and the memorable firefly Ray, but the new adventure introduces us to Princess Tiana’s family and friends in a lively setting. You’ll be delighted to encounter characters like Louis the alligator, Mama Odie, Eudora, Princess Charlotte, and Naveen’s younger brother, Prince Ralphie. The narrative sees Tiana and Louis prepping for an exciting Mardi Gras performance.
Disney Imagineers have gone all out to bring authenticity to this adventure. They took multiple trips to Louisiana to soak up the local culture, attend Mardi Gras celebrations, and ensure every detail feels genuinely New Orleans. The ride is filled with vibrant animatronics and features a thrilling drop reminiscent of what made Splash Mountain famous.
Fans will be thrilled to know that familiar voices are returning, with Anika Noni Rose, Bruno Campos, Michael-Leon Wooley, and Jenifer Lewis reprising their roles from the film. The attention to detail combined with original character voices promises a magical and immersive experience that resonates with Disney magic aficionados.
The transformation of Splash Mountain into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure marks a significant moment for Disney World, blending nostalgia with fresh storytelling. While Disneyland and Magic Kingdom have adopted this change, Tokyo Disneyland remains the only place where the original Splash Mountain continues to operate unaltered.
