How To Ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is coming up soon!

It’s that time of year!

This specially ticketed event is TONS of fun! There are exclusive treats and entertainment, free hot cocoa and cookies, fun meet-and-greets, and lots of attractions to enjoy. Disney has shared a list of all the rides that will be open during the holiday and party, and we were excited to see Magic Kingdom’s brand new ride on the list!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure just opened in Magic Kingdom in June of this year. The new ride replaced the previous Splash Mountain and takes you on an adventure down the bayou. Tiana is having a Mardi Gras celebration but is missing the secret ingredient — a band! You join her on an adventure to find the perfect music for the party.

On a regular park day, you can enjoy this ride by either purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass and selecting a Lightning Lane return time for it or by getting in the Virtual Queue at one of the two available times, 7AM and 1PM. There is no standby line offered for the ride during regular park hours.

The exception to the standby line rule for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is during the exclusive parties! During Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the ride did not use a Virtual Queue but instead offered a standby line. Now, the same thing will happen for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in November and December. You’ll be able to enter the standby line if you have your party wristband on to enjoy the ride throughout the night!
