We know that the new ride will reopen sometime in 2024 at both parks, and we’ve even seen a model of what it’ll look like when it’s finished. Now, we have more details about the inspiration behind the transformation!
Yesterday was a busy day in Magic Kingdom — it was the last day to ride Splash Mountain before it closed for retheming as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

The closure is planned to last almost two years. But Disney is wasting no time! While Tiana’s Bayou Adventure isn’t scheduled to open until at least late 2024, that hasn’t stopped Disney from preparing for construction already.

Disney shared a roundtable discussion in which the panel discussed the new Mardis Gras finale plans for Splash Mountain, new characters, and concept art. There was one interesting comment made about the future for Princess Tiana, and we can’t help but wonder what it means!
Ever since Disney made the announcement that Splash Mountain was going to be reimagined with a The Princess and the Frog theme, the attraction and merchandise have become wildly popular.

Ride times have been hovering around 35-45 minutes daily while we’ve seen virtual queues for the Splash Mountain store exceed four hours! People are serious about snagging their Br’er Bear Plush!
