Tiana's Bayou Adventure Now Using Standby Queue at Magic Kingdom

Posted: Tuesday February 25, 2025 9:55am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

As of today, February 25, 2025, Tiana's Bayou Adventure has officially transitioned from a virtual queue to a traditional standby queue at Magic Kingdom.

Guests no longer need to use the My Disney Experience app to secure a boarding group and can instead join the physical queue at the attraction entrance.

First Day of Standby: What We're Seeing So Far

Magic Kingdom opened at 9:00 am today, and guests quickly began lining up for Tiana's Bayou Adventure. The ride suffered from a delayed opening but started operating at 9:45 am with a 35-minute wait.

Lightning Lane Multi Pass remains available for guests who want to bypass the standby queue.

@wdwmagic how does @wdwstats measure downtime? Looking at TBA the rapid deltas in wait times seem indicative of downtime rather than organic wait times. For a ride that does have a lot of capacity, you would think it would be flatter.

I agree that's a fair statement. Now, to say it is as popular as Splash (or especially a Splash with a pretty significant update budget) is a different story. A lateral move with that amount of spend is problematic. But, to say it doesn't have a level of popularity somewhat near Splash at it's end (maybe up, maybe down) would be very suspicious - absent compelling data. I still think it was money poorly spent on a very poorly designed story. But, that's a separate topic to your point. :)

You know, people like blood sausage, too. People are morons.

We always go fall or winter and on our winter trips, Splash would regularly drop below 30 minutes and was even walk on much of the time outside of the busiest days. I just don't buy that TBA is unpopular with most visitors. I don't like it, but according to people who have actual guest numbers, it is just as popular as Splash.

I welcome the standby. On a recent visit, I “won” the 1PM Guardians VQ lottery but the boarding group’s estimated return time was over 6 hours away. If I were alone maybe I would have hung around for the 6 plus hours to ride it but I was with family and I was the only one who wanted to ride it and no one understandably wanted to stick around waiting for me to ride one attraction. Now with standby, I can jump In standby and meet up with family when I get off (like the old days).

For the park’s newest attraction the first day the VQ wall disappears? I’m not sure Splash consistently posted Barnstormer numbers, yet here we are on its first fully public day of operation.

I am not a fan of TBA either but this is kind of an odd argument. Sure, the change over will keep some away but you can't possible think cooler weather doesn't have an impact on wait times for water rides.

Even Splash was quiet on cold days. The last time I rode it, shortly before it closed, it was walk-on. It was also a chilly winter night. None of us had gotten all that wet on it in some time, so we thought we'd be okay. I came out okay, but the rest of my group got soaked which wasn't much fun in the cold.

Here is a look at 10 am through 1 pm wait times

Yeah that’s the problem now that the ride sucks. It went from something you went on to enjoy the world class experience, to something you ride because it’s hot and you want to get wet.
