Taking place on March 23, 2024, in New Orleans, Louisiana, the D23 event will celebrate 15 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios' classic The Princess and the Frog.

D23 says, "Guests of this event will get a peek at what's cooking with Tiana's Bayou Adventure-coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort later this year. At a specially curated presentation, you'll discover new ingredients at play from Walt Disney Imagineering, detailing the impeccable research, collaboration, and creative development that is bringing elements of the real-life magic from New Orleans to this exciting attraction. It's going to be a can't-miss deep dive into what fans can anticipate from this new adventure with Tiana, Naveen, and a whole bayou of friends, both new and familiar!"

The D23 Down in New Orleans event on March 23 also provides one of two upcoming opportunities for Disney to announce an opening date for Tiana's Bayou Adventure, the other being the Annual Shareholders meeting on April 3.

That is a nice brick wall. Perhaps the children can sit on it.

It’s a great opportunity to teach them to enjoy life’s simple pleasures as they stop to smell the beignets.

Would have been a great place to implement a play kitchen.

Missed opportunity with the playground. It would be nice for the little ones to have something at the princess themed attraction!

No playscape is planned AFAIK.

I believe there were pictures earlier in the thread - it's just an empty spot right now. If nothing's there now, I assume nothing will be there upon opening. Of course, some sort of prefab structure could also easily be installed there if need be.

What's been done to the Laughin' Place Playground spot? Anyone have latest deets and pics?

have you seen it in person yet? I haven’t and I’m wondering if I feel the same thing. I’m hoping in person it has more life to it - which I’m guessing it does. There are several elements that look nice - and a few that don’t (looks at banner and fence mural haha)

It makes me think how this current crew would bungle the queue of Expedition Everest - which I view as one of the very best queue's in all of the parks - were it a new attraction and they were tasked with the design.

It just doesn't have the "wow" factor to me, looking more like an overgrown hill than anything. But it is what it is, and at the end of the day I'll be glad to have a water ride option back, since WDW as a whole could always use more options for cooling off.
