I kinda enjoyed the show and I think it fits on the boat perfectly.

How does a story that takes place in 20th century New Orleans fit perfectly in LS which is set in colonial America?

They said it fits on the boat, not the land. The show does not take place in LS, it takes place on the Rivers of America. :wave:

That is a huge strech.

Then it doesn't fit any better in Disneyland, seeing how you board the ship in Frontierland.

I agree, in that sense it works fine.


But in WDW, you ARE in LS...:lookaroun

When watching the show you're going to be more in Frontierland I would think. I have no idea where they will come out from in DL or if they will have a M&G in NOS in DL, but the show itself works fine on the river in WDW.

They could make a film called The President and the Eagle, a put in a show for that,would that fit better?

At Disneyland, the Tiana Meet & Greet takes place back in the Court of Angels in New Orleans Square, back in that little courtyard you can make out at the end of this alley;

The Court of Angels has been closed for a couple of weeks while they get it set up for the Meet & Greet, but this is the Court in its normal state;

Then the procession marches out four times per day through the alleys of New Orleans Square and down past Pirates of the Caribbean and the Riverbelle Terrace to the riverboat. These busy New Orleans Square alleys could be a real crowd control problem for the Tiana procession

^ Never been to DL, but in photos NOS has always struck me as having to be one of the most amazing spots there.

It shows up in online surveys and conversations as many folks "favorite" lands in Disneyland. I like the area a lot, it's very detailed and will fit the Tiana movie stuff perfectly, but I've always been more of a Tomorrowland guy.

It's nice during the day too, but night is even better. Especially in Club 33.

That doesn't look like a theme park...That looks real. Sheesh.

Oh, yeah, I know. We agree.:lol:

It's real. It's Disneyland USA. :animwink: And it really is a perfect setting for Princess Tiana. You have to wonder how much John Lasseter influenced the Studios placing the latest Princess in the exact place and time of a land that already exists at Disneyland.

New Orleans Square really was Walt's crowning achievement in theme park design. He opened it in July, 1966 about five months before he passed away. Walt Disney and his entire hand-picked organization were at the very top of their artistic game when they designed and built New Orleans Square in the mid 1960's, not to mention its signature attraction Pirates of the Caribbean. :sohappy:

Only if it stars Sam Eagle!

All I have to say is wow

All I have to say is wow

Disneyland does amazing stuff at Christmas. Amazing. And they go all out in New Orleans Square with a very funky look, like each shop owner did something a bit different from the shop or restaurant next door. But it all comes together.

My favorite thing about New Orleans Square at Christmas are all the street lamps decorated in different themes.

It will be interesting to see how Tiana meshes into all of this decorative frenzy in November and December. Is it possible putting Tiana and her jazzy procession in this New Orleans Square Christmas environment might be themed overload??? Maybe too much of a good thing and just too frantic???
