Disneyland Welcomes Community Partners as First to Enjoy the New “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure”

Children and chaperones were among the first to ride the highly anticipated new attraction.

Children from the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Anaheim-Cypress, among other fine organizations in the area, were the first to experience the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disneyland.

What’s Happening:

  • Disneyland recently welcomed a few of their community partners as the first guests to experience the park’s newest attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
  • Their adventure into the newly named Bayou Country also included a special surprise appearance from the voice of Tiana herself and Disney Legend, Anika Noni Rose.
  • Children and chaperones from the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Anaheim-Cypress, Anaheim Family YMCA, 100 Black Men of Orange County and Girls Inc. of Orange County were among those in attendance as they journeyed down the bayou in the brand new Disneyland attraction.

  • In the new attraction, based on the 2009 film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, The Princess And The Frog, Tiana wants to give a big thanks to her family and friends and the entire community for all the support they’ve given her by throwing an amazing party during Mardi Gras season. When it turns out there’s been a bit of a mix–up with the party preparations, Tiana invites us to meet her at Tiana’s Foods to help with the missing ingredient for the party. On Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, you’ll join Tiana and Louis on a trip to the bayou, where they meet all sorts of unexpected new friends who have a special role to play at the party.

  • Talented voice actors from the film will reprise their roles in the attraction, including Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen, Michael Leon Wooley as Louis, Jenifer Lewis as Mama Odie, and the one and only Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana. The new attraction officially opened at Disneyland on November 15th, and another similar version of the ride has already opened at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
  • If you’d like to take a journey down the bayou for yourself, be sure to reach out to our friends at Mouse Fan Travel who can assist with all your booking needs.
