We’re keeping our eyes peeled for all the latest Tiana’s Bayou Adventure construction news out of Disney World and Disneyland. But there’s another special Tiana-themed addition coming to Disneyland soon — Tiana’s Palace Restaurant, which will open on September 7th! We previously got some initial menu details for this spot, and we’ve been watching as it actively gets constructed in the park but now we’ve got SO many more details to share!
Have you heard of the NEW restaurant opening in Disneyland soon?
Tiana’s Palace
Tiana’s Palace is opening in New Orleans Square in Disneyland Park on September 7th, 2023. It’s replacing the old French Market Restaurant and will bring an all-new menu and updated decor to the space. Another change is that Cast Members who work here will have completely new costumes! Take a look at those costumes here. [Read more…]

Earlier this year, Disney announced that the new Princess and the Frog-themed restaurant would be taking the place of the existing French Market Restaurant in New Orleans Square, opening on September 7th, 2023. Tiana’s Palace is part of a transformation based around the retheming of Splash Mountain into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and we have been excited to see how it evolves! Well, today we got some BIG news about this dining location — the full menu has been REVEALED!

Tiana’s Palace is the long-awaited Quick Service New Orleans-inspired eatery coming to Disneyland that will replace the French Market Restaurant in New Orleans Square. The spot is set to feature some of the pizzazz and flair of the restaurant from the film, along with authentic New Orleans flavors. We’ve been watching as construction on this spot takes shape, but now Disney has announced the restaurant’s official opening date!
A LOT of stuff is going on in Disneyland, and we’re having trouble keeping track of it all.

But we’re doing our best to keep you updated. We were there when the updated Toontown opened (and we even got to ride Disneyland’s Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway). We’re keeping an eye on the Adventureland Treehouse, plus we’re looking forward to learning more about those new restaurants coming to Downtown Disney. But we’re also keeping an eye on two Tiana-themed projects, and we have some HUGE updates to share.

Tiana’s Palace is currently under construction and set to open at Disneyland Park later in 2023. It will feature authentic New Orleans flavors in a Quick Service style restaurant. It is replacing the former French Market Restaurant. We previously got a peek at one of the signs for this new spot, but now something else has arrived!
We are LOVING all the new Princess and the Frog representation coming to Disneyland.

We love seeing Tiana in the Magic Happens parade. We can’t WAIT to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when it opens. However, we may be MOST excited about Tiana’s Palace Restaurant because, well…food! We’ve been following along with the construction of the restaurant, and something NEW and exciting turned up recently!
Tuesday, May 31st, 2023, truly marked the end of an era for the Disney Parks. Yep, Splash Mountain closed at Disneyland, which means that the ride made its final splash.
So long, old friend!
As our friend Sharpay Evans would say, though, “It’s out with the old, and in with the new!” It’s only been two days since the Splash Mountain closure, and yet lots of changes have already been made in the area. When we visited Disneyland the very next day, we were honestly a little shocked at everything that had already been added or changed in the area. Let’s check it out.
Since Disney first announced that Splash Mountain would be transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at both Disney World and Disneyland, we’ve been keeping up with all the latest updates.

We learned a bit about the inspiration behind the ride, and why you might want to wait it out in the standby line once it opens. But over in Disneyland, another new Princess and the Frog experience is coming — Tiana’s Palace restaurant. Since the new ride is being constructed on the East Coast as well, could a Tiana’s Palace restaurant come to Disney World?
