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

[discos]

I think there'll be previews, just after the media event. CMs should be before media. But like Golden Oak, etc? Not sure yet.

Ah, okay. Was it Guardians or Tron where the media event was before previews?

Guardians media was after CMs, but before everything else. TRON media was after every preview type, but there was also nothing to reveal for TRON. Tiana will likely follow the same pattern as Guardians.

Also, unpopular opinion, but Friends on the Other Side is the worst song in the movie <ducks for cover>. Too much talking and not enough melody. Facilier is a great villain, but not because of the song.

I was waiting for someone to say this so I can agree with them! All the other songs are sooooooo much better than Friends on the Other Side.

Can we all agree we would be a lot better off if they were basing the ride on the story of the movie, like some were initially hoping?

Then you get a storyline that actually has stakes, an awesome villain, and you avoid unnecessary history/economic lessons that very few people care about and appear to be mainly virtue signaling.

Yea, it’s kinda’ like the attraction is substituting for a PatF II movie.

A little confused with all the different timelines for previews. Do we think this will be open to everybody by June 17ish??

So, we're visiting the MK June 14th and 15th. I'm assuming we'll likely JUST be missing the general public being able to ride?

Read my message again — I was talking about Tiana with the lantern.

Personally, I do not think it will be open by June 17. I think we will still have previews then.

So, we'ere visit MK June 14th and 15th. I'm assuming we'll likely JUST be missing the general public being able to ride?

Very likely so, unfortunately — but I don't want to pretend I know the exact preview dates, I don't.

Hey, if you hang around the entrance, you never know...

But then, you might not be getting your money's worth from your admission to MK.

Keep the faith. It's not impossible. I expect we'll hear more this week or next.

I think it'll go like this:

• June 3 is the first day CMs are currently blocked out of MK. So either:
  • (1) only MK CMs who work there will be able to do previews; or
  • (2) CM previews will start before June 3; or
  • (3) CM blockouts will change dates (and that in itself will be a hint).
• If CM previews happen before June 3, I would expect:
  • The week of June 3 to be Golden Oak/high-roller previews
  • Then the media event
  • Then DVC/AP previews
  • Then a soft or official open
• If CM previews happen after June 3, then all the other previews get pushed back to some time after the media event.

Could they potentially just drop previews all together and open the attraction and then have media day after the opening. I’m assuming they don’t want the media or even previews to share or leak ride content until after the public can ride.

You must be new here lol

Media will absolutely get to ride before the public. Especially for this ride, Disney will want the friendly's in there early

The "grand reveal" of the entire attraction will be from the media event - so literally every photo, video, or piece of information you could want will come on June 11 at the latest.

Bummer...thanks for the info though!

Thanks Len....I'm a faithful Disney Dish listener and appreciate the show every week!
