Not the queue barn, but the mill from the Disneyland model is painted a sort of mossy faded yellow.
I'm assuming the queue barn isn't going to appear as weathered as that though.

I think this looks much better than the saturated yellow I saw in that picture from earlier minus the cheesy sign.

The WDW render doesn't have that sign btw, but you can't really tell what color the barn is either. Also, there may be variations between what is in these models/renders and what is built. The watertower design and tiara for the WDW render is different than what was built (they just cloned the Disneyland design).

I'm glad I'm not the only person that saw something along those lines at first glance!
Who knows what it will actually look like, but the first thing my mind invented from that image was Sid & Marty Krofft style imagery!

Of course they did it's cheaper to make two of the same things rather than multiple unique set dressings.

This is what passes for theming in modern Disney. Imagineering should be embarrassed.
That sign could be simplied to say "A Celebration of New Orleans". And leave it at that. The "Everyone is welcome" is already implied and the "Tonight Only" blub is superfluous.
The nobility titles should also go as it's counter to Tiana's all are equal Co-op premise. Instead of "welcoming us" we should be "joining them" for this celebration.
What a mess.

We can also listen to the press releases. They're accurate in this regard.

This is silly.
It’s been confirmed multiple times over that the attraction will feature a large animatronic cast, with several being notably advanced. Every source I’ve spoken to who would know has said as much, as have multiple reliable voices on this board. And the Disney press releases.
At some point this stuff you’re pulling just becomes bitter denial.

Ahh, It’s called negative rooting. If you were a Met fan you would understand.
Anyway, I do hope they do what they say and don’t do budget cuts.
Time will tell, let’s see what happens.

Right?
They really believe they need to quite literally spell it all out for us lately.
It's why I disliked the bulk of the Jungle Cruise overhaul.

We've heard several sources saying there will be a lot of animatronics. And not just from me or their PR statements. I'm confident it'll have far more than the likes of Rise of the Resistance, Frozen or even Tokyo's Beauty and the Beast.
However, by what standard is "a lot"? Beauty and the Beast has about 17-18 proper AA's. Frozen has 15. That's actually considered "a lot" by modern Disney standards, when more often you'll see numbers in the low single digits. Splash at WDW however had approximately 55+ proper AA's. And Splash at Disneyland had 76-78.
So in the context of Tiana, are they aiming for Splash Mountain quantities, Frozen/BATB or something in between? The PR statement said "dozens". So i'll assume it'll have at least 24, which is relatively more than anything else they've built in the past few decades. Another person on this forum a while back said it would have have "over four dozen" new animatronics, around half of which would be state of the art. That's much higher at 48 figures, quite a lot by modern standards. Though still perhaps still not quite as many as WDW's Splash, and a lot less than DL's Splash.
There's also a rumor, stated by two different people, that the Riverboat finale would be gutted and replaced by a projection mapped facade of Tiana's Palace restaurant. With all of the old animatronics being scrapped. One of the two people said that this scene would only have 6 animatronics, a reduction from the 26 that Disneyland's Splash has or the 18 that WDW has. That's kind of a devastating loss if true. This source has yet to release the renders they said they were going to upload. Though given that this claim has been reiterated by another seemingly separate individual a while back, there's a decent chance it's true. Disappointing if so.

A while back someone I know asked the source who claimed to have the renderings; source said that they were told not to by whoever gave the renderings to them + they also said they did not want to get people fired from their jobs. Unknown if this is true or not, just thought it would be interesting to share
