We’re just days away from being able to check out Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride in the Magic Kingdom!

The Princess and the Frog-themed ride is set to open to everyone on June 28th, 2024 after sets of previews for Cast Members, Annual Passholders and more Disney fans. Since construction started in early 2023 in Frontierland, we’ve been eagerly waiting for the opening of this attraction! We previously got a sneak peek at the animatronics, new characters, queue details, and more, but now we’re getting a glimpse inside the ride FOR THE FIRST TIME!

Now we do want to stop right here and say there are several SPOILER ALERTS in this post — so if you want to be totally surprised when you ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for the first time, you should probably click out of this. 

Disney Imagineering just dropped a new episode of their YouTube series, “We Call It Imagineering.” This one is all about Soundscapes in the parks and there’s LOTS of interesting info in it, but we were most interested in the shots of a Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride-through in the video! You can watch the whole video here.

Grammy Award-winner PJ Morton wrote a new song for the ride — “Special Spice” — and the video takes us along for his first time experiencing the attraction with his song.

Here’s a look at Tiana greeting riders on the lift hill…

…and a closer look as you ride by her.

The new song — “Special Spice” — plays during the finale scene of the ride, and we got so many looks at this room overflowing with animatronics!

We’ve got Mama Odie…

…and a banner welcoming us to Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen’s home, Fleur du Bayou.

Here’s a look at Tiana and Louis…

…and another Tiana animatronic because she appears in multiple ride scenes.

Just as we have watched the outside of this ride be covered with flowers and greenery, the inside has similar lush landscaping.

We also got a glimpse of a ride sign warning that we may get wet on the ride — no surprise with that hill!

That final scene will include all of the musical critters we help Tiana round up during the ride for her party playing “Special Spice” — with Louis directing the band. Prince Naveen will be playing his ukelele, and Prince Ralphie will be o the drums!

“Seeing my song on the ride for the very first time was mind blowing to me,” Morton said. A full version of the song will be released on Friday, May 31st on all streaming platforms — so you can listen before you ride. AND we’ve got the PERFECT SHIRT for you to wear when you go to Disney World to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for the first time!
