News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

[ToTBellHop]

I heard rumblings of July target but August/early September (is that still considered summer?) was looking more likely?

I doubt they’d say summer now if September was the target. The smallest delay and they’d miss summer.

If they say summer in February, they are confident that it will hold its grand opening at a time most people consider summer. Fall arrives in MK around August 9 with MNSSHP…

That's the same photo opp from the Disneyland walls, but the posters etc are new..
Also the "New Orleans Square" term in official WDW wording

Looking at the New Construction Walls..... Would MK consider a Mardi Gras Season? To counter USF's Season???


I'm guessing No Special Entertainment this Summer to go along with the Opening? Would be Awesome if Tiana's Showboat came back!!!!

Kinda what I figured. That's how it was looking a few months ago so if they locked in summer, they must've done something to pick up the pace. Nice to know Disney can still accelerate projects when they want to.

Yeah, interesting on the last point. Perhaps it’s an oversight?

Yes indeed! Seems like a no brainer.

or, and this is doubtful but always possible, a teaser for Beyond Big Thunder

1. They obviously used the same DL poster
2. You could look at the term generically. Her restaurant is in New Orleans. Hence "New Orleans Square Musicians"

How much of those delays are covid related thought? I kinda give them a bit of a pass since there were the better part of 2 years that were totally messed up with supply chain and workforce issues.

This is the big question we will never get answers to.

The area where the queue is located is a square and the fencing is now distinctively French Quarter. I could see signage calling that “New Orleans Square”.

They had water running again yesterday.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have accelerated previews instead of month long CM/AP/DVC preview rounds. They probably thing additional capacity and additional marketing material outweighs extended previews for 3-6 weeks.

And urk off the guests that can't ride the riverboat anymore unless you make reservations again due to that..Let's just say..

Particularly if they retheme Pecos Bill to Tiana's Place or Palace. Then they really do have a New Orleans Square area.

Looks incredibly uncanny and off model.

And yet, we will still never know the mystery of the removed directional sign that stood in that same spot about why they call The Haunted Mansion sign as Gastley Mansion...

Reminded me of...

I had a feeling they were going to try to get Tiana back up amd running at some point in the summer going two summer seasons without your premier water ride is a hard pill to swallow operations wise.

Oh god no not THAT bad. They’ve had 12 years to improve from Ariel and they did.

But it’s worse than the Belle figures.
