Haven’t seen this mentioned, and I’ve looked. I’m probably blind because I would have expected some chatter. What are the clues in the license plate telling us?

A lot of people are thinking the "528" is May 28th but personally, I don't think this has anything to do with the opening date at all.

I'm still sticking with either June 28, June 30, or July 1 for the official opening day.

June 28 is the last Friday before the last day of Q3 which is June 30, and July 1 is the first day of Q4, so it would not shock me at all if they want the official opening based off the fiscal year.

Those CM blockout dates for the first half of June could be preview dates for CMs, and they're blocking those days off because they don't want double CM capacity between the normal visits and preview capacity.

I could be wrong on all of this but my mindset going into the announcement on Wednesday is the opening date will be one of those 3 dates with tons of previews beforehand, rather than the official opening date being earlier than expected.

5/28/72.

Sounds like someone's birthday. Is someone on the design team 52 this May?

If I squint, I can make it into a turtle or beaver shape

I originally thought it was an AA critter as well before editing my post.

If that’s the case I’m going with June I think this is going to open a lot sooner than everyone thinks. Infact, wouldn’t shock me at all if this opened around Memorial Day. Perhaps to coincide with communicore hall I don’t think much is left.

This was on Wonderful World of Disney on May 28, 1972...

I was hoping it was going to be the numbers on the license plate removed from the Tiger Shark in JAWS (I know, wrong park) but I checked the numbers and they don't match.

37872 is the Orlando ZIP Code. 23 is probably for 1923. Is that the year the ride takes place?

More critters have been revealed, along with an attraction poster for Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

Previously, you learned about the critters who play Zydeco music – and now, let’s get ready to march with Rara! Often found at festivals and street processions, Rara is a musical tradition from Haiti that’s part of the musical history and melting pot of New Orleans. The genre includes unique instruments with beautiful, distinctive sounds.

Here are the Rara musicians you’ll discover further down the bayou!

Octavia the Bobcat – Octavia plays the vaksin, a single-note horn instrument popular in Rara music. She’s an adventurous bobcat kitten, and she loves climbing and hanging out in trees almost as much as she loves performing. This daredevil almost never gets scared.

Pawpaw the Bobcat – Not only is Pawpaw Octavia’s devoted grandfather, but he also taught her how to play the vaksin! Pawpaw lives to make Octavia smile and has the view that everything has a way of working itself out – he’s seen it all but isn’t jaded.

Claude the Louisiana Black Bear – Claude is a salt of the earth kind of bear (or, as they say in the bayou, “salt of the mound”) who plays his horn along with the other members of his family. He’s a tinkerer who loves to create with things found in the forest, and is frequently funny without intending to be, especially when it comes to his home-grown creations.

Bernadette the Louisiana Black Bear – Bernadette loves to enjoy life, from splashing in the waters of her bayou home with her cub, Sebastián, to playing the horn with her mate, Claude. She’s a clear thinker and is warm and supportive. Bernadette loves to sink into the bayou waters and munch on plants (so long as Sebastián is clearly within sight).

Sebastián the Louisiana Black Bear – Though he’s definitely a “mama’s cub,” Sebastián charted his own musical course as a drummer, despite his parents being devoted horn players. He’s happy to follow his friend Octavia’s adventurous lead as they explore and play, and is fascinated with the small details in the bayou, like the insects and mushrooms.

Phina the Gray Fox – Phina’s enthusiasm extends beyond her drumming, as she’s constantly thinking of new ideas with optimism and energy! This imaginative fox is continually starting new projects with excitement, and her friends accept and celebrate her unique thinking.

Here's the new attraction poster.

Notice the two fireflies on the top of the poster.

As posters go, it’s fine. Little more generic than I pictured but that’s fine. It was going to be hard to top the iconic splash poster. What does everyone else think of the poster? Love that they continue to make individual attraction posters. I assume DL’s will be different because they specified that this is WDW’s.

Opening still expected to be announced tomorrow?

I find it interesting that Tiana's Palace is in the art...

 

[wdwgreek]

Love the font choice for the word Boyou with the crown in the O. The post is a little busy, but I'm interested that they have Tiana's Place in the artwork...

reused AA?

Going off the background, I'm going to guess that's another Eric Tan poster?

May 28, 1936 is the date that Alan Turing submitted On Computable Numbers for publication, with a helpful assist by Tiana who was in a postdoctoral program at that point.

The phrase "Further down the bayou" makes me think these'll be the critters in the old Laughin Place.

Where is the fun?
This looks like a shopping mall advertisement. She's blocking the ride!

 

[GoneForGood]

The third band mentioned in TBA is likely comprised of frogs and the two fireflies we see at the top of the poster. There is actually even a plate at Tiana's Palace DL that to me, may be a clue.

Could be wrong, but that is my guess.

 

[Bocabear]

ummm Tiana, hon, could you just step to the right? You are blocking the ride... thanks dear.
