Tiana's Bayou Adventure Set to Open Earlier in 2024

The new Disney attraction, replacing the controversial Splash Mountain, is expected to debut ahead of schedule despite mixed fan reactions.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure, the new attraction replacing Splash Mountain at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, is expected to open earlier than previously announced in 2024.
Despite backlash from fans, Disney continued with its retheme of Splash Mountain due to the original ride's controversial inspiration from the 1946 Disney film The Song of the South.
Disneyland and Disney World have unique descriptions for the new attraction, but both will maintain a 40-inch height requirement and tell the same story.
Fans of the New Orleans princess can now encounter her and a hint at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on the recently released popcorn buckets at Walt Disney World.
One year after the closure of Splash Mountain, fan sentiment remains mixed with some excited for the change and others mourning the loss of the controversial attraction.
