New Orleans Street, WDW

[cdunlap]

This is an entire area within a Frontierland courtyard. The architecture is similar to the French Quarter, with wrought iron hurricane lamps lighting the way. The attractions here are Going Down The Bayou With Tiana, Tiana’s Palace, Dr. Facilier’s Voodoo Emporium, Thieves Market At Lafitte’s Landing, and Lagniappe Trinkets. The rest of the buildings are decorative.

Going Down The Bayou With Tiana is a log flume in which guests float through the bayou with Tiana, Naveen, and Louis on the festive night of Mardi Gras Eve.

Lagniappe Trinkets is a souvenir shop located in a houseboat on the bayou. After going down the bayou with Tiana, guests can peruse this shop.

In the center of town, Tiana’s Place stands. This is a sit down restaurant with Gumbo, Mint Juleps, Beignets, Jambalaya, Crayfish, and Cafe Au Lait.

To the left of Tiana’s Palace, there is a stately manor house inspired by The Cabildo. This holds Thieves Market At Lafitte’s Landing, a port turned marketplace of Pirates owned by the famous New Orleans Pirate, Jean Lafitte. Once guests enter, they see a pond. Where the guests are standing is a dock in front of a collection of Pirate Ships, each of them holding POTC merchandise. Above the dock, a sign that says Lafitte’s Landing hangs. The ships sell many different things. Queen Ann’s Revenge sells hats, eyepatches, and swords, The Black Pearl sells Toys, a Chinese Pirate Junk named Hu Chihong, in English, it’s Crimson Tiger, sells clothing, food, and drinks in a paper lantern lit setting, and the Wicked Wench has the cashier. All the employees talk like 1700s people. (Thou shalt payeth here, my lords.) The entire market is open air, not enclosed.

To the right of Tiana’s Palace, there is a dark alley that leads to Dr Facilier’s Voodoo Emporium. This is a Savi’s type shop in which an employee of the doctor’s, dressed in his suit but with a fascinatior if female, leads guests in creating A talisman similar to the one on Facilier’s Necklace, A mask similar to the giant horned mask he displays, and A Mystical Staff, similar to Facilier’s cane. The talisman is made by putting the mouth on the top of the head. It has a button effect where the eyes glow red as drums play. The mask is a few pieces that connect. The two horns and the lower jaw go on the head. The effect is a button being pressed, causing it to project shadow demons from the eyes. The Cane, plastic ball on plastic rod, projects lavender and lime fireworks that explode into sigils, similar to the end of Friends On The Other Side while the song, beginning with Are You Ready, plays. The shop’s interior is lined with African masks that blink and move their jaw. The center is a crescent shaped desk with a red table cloth with packages containing materials for the objects. The CM spiel is the following:

(The door creaks open on its own as flames jet from three skulls, illuminating the name)

(The CM walks out the door with a staff)

CM: Hello there, I’m [NAME] and I work for Doctor Facilier. Enter the Voodoo Emporium with me and be seated at the table, for I will teach you how to do the mystic art of Voodoo.

(Guests enter and sit on a stool in front of the desk. The CM enters first and goes to a large armchair)

CM: First, I shall teach you how to create a talisman, all you need is in the package.

(Guests open the package)

CM: Now just attach the lower jaw to the top. I can help if needed.

(After everyone finished, CM says this)

CM: Now, press the button on the back and hear spirits banging on the drums in the Other Side. Now, we shall move on to a Mystic Mask, just like the ones surrounding.

(The Masks blink and move their jaws)

CM: Now, attach the horns to the top, then, the jaw to the bottom. I can assist if needed.

(After everyone is done, CM says this)

CM: Now, press the button to release Spirit Shadows from The Other Side! The final thing is a Mystic Staff, like what I carry!

(They raise the staff)

CM: Attach your crystal ball to the rod, then press the button to release the spirits of The Other Side! It is with remorse that I bid you farewell now, exit and come back once more!

(The CM points at the door, which opens on its own. Once the CM is done talking, they run into a cabinet. This is to make it seem like they magically vanished.)

(Guests exit)

Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if the courtyard is big enough to have all of that.
