I think each of the three big rides are great. All are very atmospheric and take you into their worlds, each very different worlds. Plus I just love Disney boat ride attractions. I think the area and its attractions are a Grand Slam any way you measure it.
Other than needing special passes to...
Universal is making big inroads for this family who loves Disney. For the first time ever, we are staying our entire trip on Universal's property and not a Disney hotel. THAT should say something.
^^^ This imagineering concept art was a photo I took decades ago when it was out in front of the Carousel building. So glad I did! I've seen it on so many sites. It just makes me smile.
It's a good thing Tiana is part of the ride's name. That way everyone knows its her at the beginning regardless of how old/young she looks or what she's wearing. ;)
I'll go on the record saying I prefer her princess look.
I say its no wonder that Tony Baxter left the project after Carmen Smith (or whoever is directing the project) turned Tiana's Bayou Adventure into "Tiana's Business Venture".
