Tiana's Bayou Adventure Virtual Queue

January 7 2025 saw the second-longest 1 pm virtual queue window for Walt Disney World's Tiana's Bayou Adventure, staying open for 8 hours.

After just over 200 days in operation, the only longer window was December 24, 2024, when it reached 8 hours and 59 minutes. Cold weather with near-freezing wind chills likely kept guests away from outdoor attractions, particularly those involving water, contributing to the extended availability.

On typical weather days, the virtual queue fills much faster, especially for newer attractions like Tiana's Bayou Adventure, which has an average 1 pm availability window of around 60 minutes.

While the afternoon window has seen record-setting availability, the 7 am virtual queue drop has shown no signs of slowing down. Guests continue to secure their spots within seconds, with the queue often reaching capacity in under a minute, even during the cold snap.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure remains one of two Walt Disney World attractions still operating a virtual queue, the other being EPCOT's Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind.

While Disney has suggested a standby queue may be introduced at some point, no timeline has been announced. Notably, the attraction has operated without a virtual queue during special event evenings, including Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, where guests have been able to ride using only a standby queue with wait times typically between 25 minutes and an hour.

The 1pm afternoon VQ drop lasted the entire day again. Last happened on Christmas Eve.

I suspect this has to do with reliability issues (ride availability as well as AA reliability within the attraction when it is “working”). Certainly not how they planned Frontierland to be going while they take down BTMRR and start doing away with ROA.

Good point. After everything that is being worked on is closed/walled off, I assume country bears will be in high demand. I presume all shows will fill up now and there may even be a standby queue for country bears, It will be interesting to see what happens.

Country Bears are about to have back problems from carrying Frontierland

When you are pying that much for a day ticket and any add-ons you cannot afford to miss anything in the park especially while BTMRR, TSI, and the Riverboat are down...

People can always pop into Frontierland to take some shots at the shooting gal.....oh, wait. Never mind.

It seems that most of the people who like the attraction are those who were on board with the retheme from the start. Coincidence?

Rode this over the holidays. With the exception of the final Tiana animatronic in the party scene, every single Tiana animatronic did not have its mouth moving when it spoke. I agree that it’s a decent ride, just a shame that they can’t seem to ever have it working properly.

It had a great day today from what I can tell. If it ever went down (maybe it did, I wasn’t looking much as we went through the park), it didn’t go down long.
