Disney CEO Bob Iger addressed shareholders at today's Walt Disney Co. Annual Shareholder meeting but did not provide any update on the opening of Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World or Disneyland.

Despite updating shareholders on recent openings at the parks and mentioning the possibility of an Avatar experience at Disneyland, Bob had nothing to say about any upcoming projects at Walt Disney World.

Today's meeting was widely expected to offer an opening date for Tiana's Bayou Adventure, but it appears that plans are still fluid, and Disney is not yet ready to commit to a date. There are no major Disney events between now and the previously announced "summer 2024" opening, meaning a social media announcement is now the most likely scenario.

The development of Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Walt Disney World is making significant strides. The exterior is nearing completion, and Imagineers are already conducting test rides on the attraction.

And they covered the side facing the drop. Now everyone can stop worrying 😝

A current look at the fence — about 50% covered as of now.

I have no problem with the placement of the banner (I know some have asked why it’s outside), but its content and design are disappointing in the extreme. “A Celebration of Family and Friends of New Orleans” just sounds so clunky and unidiomatic.

Well, duh. 🤣 :rolleyes: See, I told you it was a dumb question!

Not sure if this was mentioned before but it looks like they added a rope for "set dressing" to make it look like the banner is tied onto the millhouse.

They probably just left the boats there and drained the water around them. There are also wheels on the bottom of the boats so they can be manually pushed through parts of the flume that are flat even without any water. Though again, i'm sure they just left the boats there while cycling and then drained the water after.

That's just where they are when they drain water

Dumb question ~ how can they be cycling logs with no water?

Our vacation ends on the 28th so Tiana's gift to me will be an extension!

I'm still guessing first week of July. FWIW, MK's hard ticket after hour event stops after 6/27.
