Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

[BasiltheBatLord]

How did a stuffed British teddy bear fit in with North American critters of The South previously?

I really enjoyed the implication that Song of the South and Winnie the Pooh took place in the same fictional universe.

Oh no we will be there at the end of October til 2nd of November so we will miss it. Since we live in Europe we can only go every few years.

Maybe they‘ll open previews before.

Tiana's BAYOU Non Adventure going to BAYOU Country featuring Pine tree filled back woods, a rustic Country Bear themed eatery and Winnie the Pooh. Really odd decision. Critter Country name is all encompassing. For what? The name change accomplishes nothing.

It accomplishes in distancing the land even more from its past, which is the point.

Not thrilled about the name change. Somehow, Pooh feels like it makes even less sense where it is than it did before.

All they had to do was nothing to the name. Nothing at all. But they couldn’t even do that.

They should have just left it as “Bear Country” in the first place.

Bayou Pooh truly is ridiculous. Again, I vote to demolish MAoWtP and replace it with alligator bumper boats.

Winnie the Pooh takes place in Christopher Robin’s mind.
(edit)
And… the Remus stories take place in… okay, actually, that kind of works…

Another example of them being concerned with the wrong things. Nobody cares.

Maybe you guys will get a Door Coaster, too. This scene takes place in the south, possibly on the edge of a bayou with gators:

I wouldn't say nobody cares.

Like 3 or 4 people care

I think its a bit more than that. But its not anything to argue over. Lets just move on.

Well I’ll go out on a limb and say there are more people think this name change is stupid than people that are traumatized by the name Critter Country. Man, what are we at 12 degrees of separation now? The generic name of the land that housed the ride that was based on the animated segments from SotS is a problem too? I actually don’t think that’s why they re changing it. Somebody thought it was a good idea to just nonsensically change the name of the land to make Tiana “fit better” at the expense of everything else in the land not making sense.

Go back and review this post -

Critter Country was specifically named after the Uncle Remus quote "where critters are closer to the folks and folks are closer to the critters" so this change is in line with the desire to scrub all SOTS references from the parks.

Cue people suddenly saying they cried every time they looked at a Dland map or walked into that section of the park.

It... it was horrible... my skin tingled... and I wept... truly wept.

Just amazing that they replaced a “problematic” IP with an IP that has a “problematic” villain.

Facillier was featured in the promo video for Villians Land, so they likely haven't discontinued him.

Single character from an IP is not the same as an entire IP. Also as I recall they have and continue to use said character in the Parks even if not on the attraction. So that says something about how Disney is not really thinking the character is “problematic”.

And will feature in the Villains skins for Fortnight.

It’s going to be a real shame if the DL version ends up better than the WDW one.

I like your optimism, but aside from some minor pacing and staging changes I would expect it to be mostly the same.

No it’s not but does put you in a little bit of a predicament when it comes to the story and riders expectations particularly when that villain happens to be a fan favorite.
