Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

[Honeycomb]

I normally refuse to watch POVs of U.S. rides I haven't ridden (e.g., Remy's and Tron), but the exception for me will be Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Overall, I am not a fan, but I realistically will likely ride both versions at some point in time, even if it isn't until 5 years from now. Most of the animatronics look good, but it's that darn gumbo mural and yellow barn that gets me every time.

 

[Honeycomb]

Let's get to the really important issue here.......

.....do we watch the videos online before riding it?

Yes.

 

[Too Many Hats]

I'm fortunate to live 30 miles from Disneyland, so I will experiencing Tiana spoiler-free.

That said, it's going to be difficult to avoid spoilers during the period between the Orlando and Anaheim openings. Might need to take a break from Disney theme park online stuff for a bit.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Yes.

Yeah, I'll be watching as well. If it were something I were "jazzed" about (pun intended), I might try to avoid watching, but in this case, living in Chicago, not planning a trip until at least summer 2025, I just want to see what they did.

I think I'm most interested in seeing what the differences between the two versions are, since the rides were always quite different before. I'm sure they're trying to minimize that now, since it's cheaper to make two copies of the same thing, but certain things probably have to be different still.

I am, but that's because I don't visit the parks as often anymore due to the pricing and reservations prioritizing Key Holders over folks buying day tickets.

And I want to see the effects working rather than how the attraction ends up after a few months. Looking at you Rise cannons!

The keyholder reservations always run out before tickets do from everything I've seen. That's part of what the magic key lawsuit was about.

These blog posts are so friggin weird.

Pure Disney magic. Good for Mondo the Frog.

Yeesh.

Stop being so uncopacetic!! Try being languid.

Yes, but they can reserve multiple days at a time. If I just want to buy a ticket and go to the parks, it becomes a nightmare.

This has been happening slowly, as I remember even before reservations, I bought a ticket at the parks and the lines moved so slowly because everyone in line was buying APs, so each transaction took forever due to having to go through the contracts and such. I just wanted to give them my cash and get my ticket, but that was no longer the priority.

Per a TDR insider. If true, and if experiencing the Tokyo version of Splash interests you, you might want to make your trip sooner rather than later:

Splash will get a re-theme in a few years.
The pressure is getting into OLC from WDC.
Thats all im going to say and OLC cant say no on this one.

Interesting. I wonder if they’ll create something new. I can’t imagine Princess and the Frog being as popular over there.

I can't imagine it closing before Space and Buzz Lightyear are finished.

For more context:

I've seen some discussion on certain places about TDR and Splash, but I can't for see them changing it anytime soon. With the huge tomorrowland revamp and whatever else is coming, I feel like that would be an awful a lot to have down. Rumor is Disney is not happy that Splash exists in Tokyo basically, and apparently is willing to pay now. Who knows, all I know is these next few years are going to be super interesting for TDR.

Probably accurate.

Scaffolding is coming down already!!

Why does the top of the mound look like its sliding off?

I'm not an insider, I was just looking around on Japanese Twitter and saw that, very interesting time for OLC regardless.
