We’re about to get a NEW ride in Magic Kingdom!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has been under construction for a while now, taking over the old home of Splash Mountain, and the opening date for the new ride is looming closer! We’ve been eager to check it out with the new animatronics, new storyline, and fun details, but before it opens, we’ve got some important details to share.

Disney World has announced that when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens, it will be available as part of Disney Genie+. That means this ride will NOT have an individual (or a la carte) Lightning Lane. To ride, you can purchase Genie+ for Magic Kingdom (or get the multi-park Genie+ option) and reserve a Lightning Lane for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

If you don’t wish to pay to skip the line, you’ll be able to ride instead with the virtual queue.

Learn more about the virtual queue for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure HERE.

The ride will likely be incredibly popular for the first few months that it’s open, but it sounds like Disney doesn’t expect the virtual queue to stick around forever. Once demand starts to go down, they’ll change it to a standby line.

Tiana’s Foods Water Tower

To book the Lightning Lane for this attraction, you’ll need to have the My Disney Experience app downloaded on your phone, be logged into your account, and have your park tickets linked. For the full details, make sure to check out our guide to Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes.
