I went to Disneyland on Saturday the 21st and was there from park open to park close. Here is my honest review for Tiana’s, out of 10.
0/10. It never opened.
Say whatever you want about the source material, or whatever ride issues Splash had, at least it could actually open for Guests. That they were able to take an attraction that could operate reliably from park open to park close for over 30 years and screw it up so bad that it needs to close early, if it ever opens at all, is just pathetic.

Hey, I thought I told you to go on the 14th?

Oh believe me, I didn’t forget your recommendation! We were going with a friend who had never been and shortly after I made that post, they let me know the 14th would no longer work with their schedule.
We had a good time otherwise, all things considered. We did pretty much everything else in the park, including breakfast at Plaza Inn and dinner at Cafe’ Orleans. You get one chance to make a first impression, though, and this was TBA’s for all three of us.
Although I doubt he was too heartbroken about it. When we walked over to the standby entrance to talk to the CMs, he saw the sign and was like, “Wait, who is Tiana?” lol

Glad you guys had a good day and got to ride everything… except Tiana. How were the crowds? I guess it couldn’t have been too bad if you got to ride everything but then again maybe you only had Enchanted Tiki Room and Pooh on your list
. How were the LL return times?

So it was obviously crowded, though it wasn't anything we weren't used to (especially after having worked there for over half a decade). Our plan was pretty standard: get there at opening and utilize Lighting Lanes whenever possible. We also paid for the individual line skip for Rise.
We took our time with breakfast and had a lighting lane ready to go for Space right afterwards. In terms of return times, the only ones that were unreasonable were Indy and Matterhorn, because they were both also having intermittent issues throughout the day and kept shutting down and coming back up. On any of our return times we didn't wait longer than 20 minutes each, I wanna say. We got lucky with Matterhorn and Indy, too, because we just happened to be in the right place at the right time when they came back up (in Indy's case, we were in line at the Bengal BBQ and saw then open up, then hopped right in line).
Getting lucky was a recurring theme (other than Tiana's, of course), lots of stuff just sort of "happened to work out". We got in line for "it's a small world" holiday while waiting for another Lighting Lane to kick in, but it just happened to be while the parade was going by that area so the posted 45 minute wait time ended up being 10 minutes after we walked by all the clueless Guests in line who refused to move forward because they were more interested in filming the parade on their phones than they were in moving forward for the attraction they were queued up for.
The Fantasyland stuff and Toontown we knocked out in quick succession using standby late at night (around 11pm), nothing other than Pan was longer than a 5-10 minute wait. Mickey and Minnie's was posted as a 20 but we walked right on (the cartoon they play took longer than the line we waited in).
We were in the park from roughly 7:30am to midnight, so we didn't go wanting for much by the end of it all. Aside from Tiana's, it was a good time. I think the longest wait of the day for us was our first ride through Haunted Mansion Holiday (we went twice), because we actually wanted to see the new queue at least once. That wait was maybe around 45 minutes. We also waited maybe around 20 to 30 for the Canoes because they only had 2 out on the river at the time. Other than that, I want to say we waited around 20 minutes or less for pretty much everything else.
