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

[Disney Glimpses]

Vacation? She's already waiting for her next assignment around a classic WDW ride that she can re-theme into something... else.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Sorry, couldn't help myself this morning.

Dear lord I hope this is sarcasm.

No

For me in the ending line of "Because your special spice makes us complete" sounds like "And always let your conscience be your guide".

So is it true “we” are the special spice, or is it the critters?

If true, some of the goofiest rumors around: set in a salt mine, we are the missing ingredient, being shrunk down to size, and no Facilier - seem to have come about?

Apparently Tiana’s Foods is very successful if they’re opening locations in both FL and CA!

What a great moment for @Drew the Disney Dude!

The previous Laughin’ Place Playground has been turned into stroller parking:

There is no reason this area couldn't have been re-themed to match.

 

[MouseEarsMom33]

While I understand your point and agree in principle of having the strollers out of the way, putting strollers in that exact location sends the signal of caring more about strollers than having a play area for children.

From pictures I've seen of the queue weeks ago, it looks like they have a garden play center for kids in the line similar to Winnie the Pooh ride. Keeping kids busy in the queue is likely more important.

Also, isn't Disney World itself a play area for children? The prior play area seemed extra and small to me (and I had young kids at one time at Disney World) and not needed for the ride.

Maybe a playground is too much of a liability

Some themed trash cans

The playground was small and lame.

Sign on the entry to the finale

I personally hated that playground. Dark and dingy. Always skeeved me out. Sorry

 

[ConfettiCupcake]

My children have outgrown the need now, but that little playground was really nice for something low key to do with a toddler smack in the middle of two rides that required rider switch.

When my children were smaller I always thought it would be nice to have more small areas like that near height restricted attractions.

 

[Starship824]

I'm sad to see the playground go and not be replaced. It will be missed.

It certainly wasn't the best, and not really up to Disney standards I would argue.

 

[JD80]

The true solution is that we should start very regimented and government mandated training regiment for 4 year olds so our weak children can walk all day without a stroller starting at the age of 4.

This will give us enough room to build god knows how many more playgrounds.

That was always my impression. I kept my kids from playing in there because god knows how many smeared boogers were all over the place. It wasn't like it was in sunlight or a CM was cleaning int regularly.

How did you know that’s how that ol’ playground was all held together? Original secret spice and all.
