We’re getting closer and closer each day to the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World!

While we still don’t have an official opening date, we do know the ride will open sometime this year. At first, Disney shared a “late 2024” projected date, but we have our suspicions the ride may be opening up sooner than we originally thought. In fact, Disney just revealed an important piece of information about the ride — let’s get into it!
Disney World has updated the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure page on their website, and it has revealed an important piece of information about the ride — the height requirement! This was previously unknown, but now we can confirm that the ride will have the same restrictions that Splash Mountain did.
Progress on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
According to the Disney World website, the height requirement for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be 40 inches or 102 centimeters! This means older kiddos should have no problem riding with their parents. Little ones will have to stay behind until they meet that listed height!

This is just another sign that Tiana’s could be opening even sooner than Disney originally announced. The ride is projected to open in late 2024 in both Disney World and Disneyland — at least according to the original announcement. But, we’ve been seeing signs that Tiana’s could open even earlier than anticipated — at least in Disney World.
But, in a recent blog post, Disney removed the word “late” and stated that the ride is just opening in 2024. With Disney typically being pretty specific about their use of language, we can’t help but think this may be a good sign.
Look at the details!
As far as the ride construction goes, well, we think we’ve spotted some good signs over there too. Disney recently started adding all the incredible and lush foliage to the exterior of the ride which we had previously seen in the concept art. It’s hard to tell there was ever even another ride here with how much they’ve added!
