Work Begins on Bringing Tiana's Bayou Adventure to Life at Magic Kingdom

Crews were working on draining Splash Mountain this morning as the first step in bringing Tiana's Bayou Adventure to life

I wonder if we'll get more Tiana-specific art on the walls as the retheme progresses

Looking forward to the pics of the bulldozers and construction pits.

Seems interesting that the new narration is referencing Tiana's most known musical number. Maybe they're planning on using the movie's music after all.

The original press release says that they plan on using music from the film as well as new songs

Has anyone spotted ladder yet?

Are the restrooms back there blocked off or are they still accessible?

Still accessible for now. I only say for now because I’m assuming at some point they will renovate the bathrooms and the surrounding area

I agree with you, because I thought they'd already be blocked off.

I hope Twig stays on top of the final drop for the foreseeable future

I am curious to see if/how they do a transition from the Frontierland theming of the bathrooms and gift shop into something more strongly reminiscent of New Orleans and the Bayou.

It probably will only take 6ish months to renovate the bathrooms, they’ll probably wait to the last minute for them. These are the only restrooms in that area. The other closest are in Pecos Bill & in the Pirates Gift Shop

I found this amusing.

Didn't Splash Mountain have a basketball court built into it?

It's been speculated that if they were thinking of expanding the New Orleans/Bayou theming past just the ride, it would look something similar to this:

The Purple area would be New Orleans, stretching from the train station to Pecos, and down to the adventureland bridge. Naturally, Pecos would be rethemed to Tiana's Palace. Golden Oak could be a great place for a grab and go beignet.

The Green area would be frontierland, including the coco/encanto expansion behind it. It's been stated by forum insiders that if that pad get used, they'd drain at least part of the Rivers of America, so a proper path connecting the two halves of Frontierland could be built there.

Seems like a lot of work to make a mini land with just one ride and two food options. If the suggestion wouldn't get me murdered, I'd sacrifice Country Bears to New Orleans as well, and give them the option for another attraction.

Anyone hear any rumours of a conversion to pay toilets?

My family of critters is rabidly awaiting a premium experience.
