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

Yes, and they could be final or they could be placeholder until they re-theme the shop to sell Princess and the Frog merchandise. Kind of pointless to be overly concerned about it while the area is in constant flux.

After six or seven scouting trips from Glendale to New Orleans there wasn’t much left to temporarily decorate the stores for the next year and a half, so off to Michael’s they went.
Sounds like they need another 3 research trips

The point of the placeholder is to placate people who would have said "They took away those carvings and didn't even replace them with anything, that's definitely a downgrade in the effort level".
This is so clearly temporary it's not even funny. Be grateful they at least made some effort in the meantime, unlike WDW which would absolutely have ripped them out and left things blank until the shop gets the real refurb we all know is coming.

Did I miss something? What is this placeholder & wood carving conversation about?

Thank you. I was so confused. Why did they reopen the store? The one at WDW never reopened after the pandemic

The really strange thing is that there are subtle differences between the online listing and what they have up. Did they make these themselves and model it after what they googled?Sadly even a broken clock is right twice a day.
