Hi Justin,
Welcome to planDisney! I am excited to hear that you are planning a visit to the Walt Disney World® Resort and have plans to experience
Tiana's Bayou Adventure! Since I am not sure when your arrival date is, I am a little worried that you may have missed the
Annual Passholder preview days. These preview days ended on June 20th. We visited during the preview days. My husband and I have an Annual Pass and our girls do not. I was able to join the virtual queue and the girls were not in my party (nor was I able to add them) when I confirmed the guests eligible to experience the attraction.
The lucky news for you is that the attraction officially opens on June 28th! As long as your cousin has park admission, you should be able to include him as a member of your party when trying to access the virtual queue. If you are planning to visit before July 24th, consider also
purchasing Disney Genie+ (if available) to access the Individual Lightning Lane entrance to the attraction. If you are visiting on or after July 24th, be sure to review the
new info on Lightning Lane passes.
Whatever you do, I hope you are able to experience it. The music is simply fantastic. I also love the immersive feel, I felt as if I were right in the middle of the Bayou! If you have not yet done so, take a few minutes to catch up on the latest updates on Tiana's Bayou Adventure on the
Disney Parks Blog.
Justin, keep up the excellent planning. I just made a wish to the Evening Star hoping that you get your plans sorted out and are able to see Princess Tiana, Louis the Alligator, Mama Odie, and Prince Naveen.
Dreams do come true!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
