First merchandise for Tiana's Bayou Adventure arrives at Target

Apr 05, 2024 in "Tiana's Bayou Adventure"

Posted: Friday April 5, 2024 11:40am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Some of the first merchandise for the upcoming Tiana's Bayou Adventure attraction at Walt Disney World is now available at Target.

Disney Store at Target is now selling The Princess and the Frog Louis Cuddleez for $39.99, complete with a Tiana's Bayou Adventure tag. You can buy it online for delivery, but availability in-store is limited.


We expect a significant amount of merchandise to be available alongside the opening of Tiana's Bayou Adventure. In addition to Target and Disney Store online, there will be two gift shops at the attraction.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure opens this summer at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, and later in 2024 at Disneyland.

    ….by the Imagineers? lol

    That would have required an inordinate amount of thought and imagination.

    I always said that they should have done a Tiana’s Western Expedition fusion sort of ride. You can still have the missing ingredient theme, she’s hunting out west with her New Orleans pals, only to find a familiar face from the past has also followed them….

    We’ll have to wait for him to explain how it works. Seemed pretty busy today. I’m sure there is a reasonable reply on the way.

    Does he have someone conducting exit polls in the gift shop? Funny, nobody asked me of what I thought the 3 times I went on the ride.

    It was always going to be a weird fit. You’re taking a rustic cavernous structure themed around small woodland critters and shoving humans in their place. Granted, they could have done a better job with it than they did. What we got was basically the worst case scenario. I doubt they’ll fix it so long as it’s “serving its purpose” as a flume ride.

    Disney isn’t retooling it unless the next CEO decides to pull a drastic (positive) culture shift of even higher, well placed investment. Think ala Igers original mandate to correct their “brand withdrawals”. Which he did with DCA. Then they promptly decided to completely overhaul their overhaul.

    Agreed. Not sure why we have to settle for “bushes” at Tiana, “snowflakes” at Frozen, and plastic “fish” at mermaid.

    I feel like they don’t even have to do that much if they really wanted to do the bare minimum, like even just add a few basic sets so we’re not floating by nothing for 90% of the ride. Like I can’t imagine making and placing a couple little critter houses is that hard or expensive

    If they ever rework Tiana it still has lots of potential- it’s not terrible.

    any guest rating is tricky - if I leave a Broadway show and someone asks me for a poll right after I would certainly rank it very high even if it was just average. (An average broadway show is still excellent). But will I revisit the same broadway show multiple times on future visits? That’s another question.

    4.5 from guests, based on what Len stated previously (and the same ratings they got for Splash) vs. 4.3 on the site is something being "easily skewed"?

    Tony the Tigger3 days ago

    I’m totally guessing, but he’s probably talking about polls taken in the park, those on his site are reviews by people who choose to leave a review, easily skewed. I could certainly be wrong.

    pulling an “um ackshually 🤓” to a guy and his own website is wild
