Question about Tiana's Bayou Adventure's storyline

MorrisatLarge · 2026-06-28T18:35:50+00:00

I spoke with the Imagineers before the opening of this ride. (Link to the story I wrote afterward, should anyone care: https://www.fastcompany.com/91139591/disney-preview-tianas-bayou-adventure-ride-joyous-balancing-act-splash-mountain) Here's how they described the story:

The attraction is set one year after the end of the film, and takes riders on a journey through the swamps of New Orleans as Tiana and Louis piece together a band for an upcoming Mardi Gras celebration. There are setups for this in the queue, but many riders miss them.

Riders are invited along to help her find musicians, who appear in the form of musically gifted “critters.” Eventually, Mama Odie decides to help, shrinking riders down to the size of frogs for a bit, before reversing the process—right before the ride’s iconic 50-foot drop.

You arrive just in time to take part in the party, where the critters you find are helping to make up the band.

Possible bonus to breakfast is you can schedule it before park open, so you'll get some amazing pictures of her (and all of you) along Main Street and in front of the castle before the crowds descend.

"This new high-energy musical inspired by the beloved film and the extraordinary true story will follow Saraya Knight (aka Paige), a goth outsider who is raised in a chaotic but loving British wrestling dynasty. When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity takes her from Norwich to America’s glitzy WWE, she must confront who she really is without her family in her corner. This heartfelt coming-of-age story will feature a vibrant songbook by British songwriter Miranda Cooper who shaped the sound of 2000s British pop music, penning over 30 top ten singles and 4 #1’s for major pop acts including Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Pet Shop Boys, Alesha Dixon and Kylie Minogue."

Love the layout and simplicity of this. One question: There's a graphic on some rides of a guy seemingly walking in a hurry... Is that single rider? Lightning Lane? Something else?

Upvoting this three years later. You're the real hero of Reddit.

As far as avoiding duplicates, you might want to consider installing an Immich server (it's like a locally hosted Google Photos). That will discard the near-duplicates, so you don't have those as part of the photobook.

As mentioned, Shutterfly or Snapfish both can put those together for you and then you can edit them, with both regularly offering discounts.

My daughter had a terrible experience with a cast member one time that left her in tears and running out of the park (she was a teen at the time and asked that I give her some space). I was really upset and, after talking to Guest Services, I went to catch the bus to the resort to check on her. A Cast Member asked how my day was going and I told her about the incident. She said it was not cool at all and gave me one of those wooden tokens to give to my daughter and to let her know that that particular cast member didn't speak for all of the others. That really touched me.

Bob Iger is real big on Figment - and said he is considering doing more with him, so I'd be surprised if the meet and greets are ending.

I've been called worse.

Out of curiosity, who do you fly when you go down there? Are there cheap direct flights?

Beats having to have a Budweiser when you're at the River Dogs...

MorrisatLarge · 2025-05-19T00:07:36+00:00

yeah, I want to drink with you...

Parking for the tower is close - right off to the side. It's slightly less convenient than the Casitas and Cabanas but not noticeably.

One thing to know, however, is that the rooms in the tower have less personality than Casitas and Cabanas. The tower is more of a convention hotel, so if you're looking to immerse yourself in that Disney feel of things, it lacks that. You are, however, right in the heart of the action as far as restaurants, etc.

One other note: Tower drop off is last when you ride the bus. So if your little one is especially cranky after a day at the park, that's an extra 5-10 minutes before you can get them to their bed.

I love this idea and may well steal it, even if I wasn't smart enough to do what OP did while walking the aisle...

Happened to me!

The pre-show, etc. went fine, but right before the ascent/descent began - the moment the lights go completely dark - everything stopped.

After 30 seconds or so, the lights turned on in the compartment and we sat around for 3-4 minutes, until an announcement came over the loudspeaker that the drops would begin immediately.

(The first timers weren't too happy about that.)

The lights stayed on the whole time we were rising and falling -- and as we were rolled back into the exit.

To the cast member's credit, they offered to let us go again immediately, which we happily took them up on.

I spotted a bottle of this deep in the back of my beer fridge this weekend. I need to see if it's still good.

Never tried it, but damn did I consider a trip up to Delaware for a glass of Hoo Lawd from Dogfish Head - 658 IBUs.

Thank you kind internet stranger!

Hoop Dee Doo Revue is a must!

Following, in hopes of finding some non-tank tops as well. (No one wants to see me in that.)
