Now, let’s get to the aforementioned guidelines. In order for Magic Key holders to ride the new attraction, they must have a Disneyland Park reservation on the day they wish to ride. They will then be given the opportunity to join a virtual queue in the Disneyland app beginning at 7AM. A second virtual queue will open at 12PM (noon) for Magic Key holders who have already entered Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure.

To access the virtual queue, find the virtual queue section of the home screen and select “Join Virtual Queue”. From there, you’ll select the option to join the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Magic Key Preview virtual queue, and then wait for a notification that your boarding group is called. Boarding queues will be able to check in at the standby queue entrance within a designated return window.

As previously mentioned, those who are unable to participate in the previews won’t have to wait long to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The ride officially opens in the rebranded Bayou Country land at Disneyland on November 15th, just three days after the last preview date. Per the official Disneyland website, riders will “embark on a thrilling water ride through the bayou with Princess Tiana, Mama Odie and gator pal Louis. It’s a musical journey full of twists, turns and festive fun that crescendos with a 50-foot drop—as well as a swingin’ soiree. Watch out… you may get wet!“
