Tiana's Bayou Adventure construction - October 27 2023
Posted: Friday October 27, 2023 10:05am Et by WDWMAGIC Staff

Today, we have the latest look at the construction progress for Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.





Three large tree trunks have arrived this week, taking up position on the right side of the mountain. There are connectors throughout the trunks to attach branches.



Scaffolding has been removed in some areas, giving a clearer look at the new greenery and paintwork.


At the main entrance, work is underway on new walkways and a small elevated structure. We also get a clear view of the new Malaika Favorite mural.









Magic Kiingdom's Tiana's Bayou Adventure was said initially by Disney to open in late 2024, but recent wording from Disney has dropped the "late." There may be hope for a slightly earlier-than-anticipated opening.

So how long until Iger swoops in with a hose and washes it off?

Broken animatronics yes (this is normal and expected in todays Disney), but they keep running guests through it. I will thinking of breakdowns that stop the attraction from running guests through it.

Most reliability issues are animatronic issues, not the ride itself.

The Disneyland version has been broken for 2 months and they haven’t even tried to fix it.

I just threw a number out there. I think you are right Tiana being not as popular as the previous attraction, I think the stand by would probably be (a total guess) max of 60 minutes.

There’s no evidence this line would reach a 90 minute standby.

I think it’s because it doesn’t operate reliably enough to support a standby. With VQ, when it breaks down, your boarding group is not called. Yes it does break down when boarding groups and LLs are loading too, but think of the nightmare when it breaks down with a 90 min standby full of people.

Why does this ride have a VQ still? The one in Disneyland doesn't even have one lol
