So the secret ingredient is botulism?

Why does every Tiana animatronic in the ride have the same half-lidded sorta-smiling-but-just-seems-mildly-cool-about-everything expression?

Obviously children will recognize her.It's truly wild hearing the claim that Tiana looks so off model that children won't be able to recognize her. First off, she doesn't.Secondly, that's really such a discredit to Anika Noni Rose whose stellar voice work really brings Tiana to life. I know I might be biased, but I think Anika is truly in the golden trio of princess voice actors with Paige O'Hara and Jodi Benson. To be frank, Tiana wouldn't be Tiana without Anika Noni Rose's inspired acting.
I've been lucky enough to ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure (with all the animatronics working none the less), and found it ridiculous that anyone would claim it was difficult to understand whose ride it is. If you have any clue who Tiana is, you'll know exactly who you're adventuring with.
That doesn't change the fact that the choice to do what they did was a poor one.

They haven’t recovered from last night’s party.

Rabbit head logs are back in stock! Get them while they’re still here!

I can only speak for myself, but making one of Disney World's best rides worse and then struggling to keep it open at all or with adequate show quality is not something to be satisfied with.
It's not something to laugh about and or gloat over either. As a paying customer, it's extremely disappointing.

Because she’s as bored with the nonsensical preschool “story” as the riders?
Too much special spice.
Disney can afford to retheme one of their most beloved attractions at the drop of a hat, but apparently Grammarly is too much for them.
So that's why the AAs don't resemble Tiana? It was her "aunty Tiara" all along?

Just checking to make sure I understand.
The final scene of the party appears to take place in New Orleans, not in the middle of the bayou.
So the entire premise of the attraction and catalyst for the “story” is based on they can’t find musicians in New Orleans?

It’s really hard to fathom how bad this turned out. I don’t think there is one person on earth (that wasn’t working on the project) that could have predicted it would be THIS bad.

The premise is that they are all booked for the celebration already. But, Tiana - the main host of the party - can't find a band...

It's fun to see creators talk about the effort put into small things when they also clearly put effort into the big picture and made something overall worthwhile.
This ride only seems to have had effort put into small things, though, so hearing about them isn't fun, it just highlights terrible priorities.

So every human musician in the entire city of New Orleans and surrounding area is booked for the evening and therefore the only solution is to venture out into the bayou to find little animals that can play music and bring them back to New Orleans to play at the party.
Uh, OK.

Not the most clever of stories (and really no excuse for it) but one could look past it if the execution wasn’t so terrible but a crappy story with crappy execution and crappy figures that just rock back and forth taking center stage? That’s too much. Then removing the tension from the lifthill and replacing it with ….nothing. I took my daughter on Little Mermaid yesterday. There is more conflict on the omnimover ride in colorful clamshells vehicles than the ride with the 50 foot drop.

It truly is. When they don’t even come within striking distance of my incredibly low expectations and create something this embarrassing and, as they say today, “cringe”, it is actually hard to believe.
Honestly, every person involved with this disaster should be fired.

I mean, spellcheck and/or Grammarly are exactly what would cause this.
