Hey there, Tina, so glad you stopped by planDisney!
Looks like you'll be making quite the journey to the
Disneyland Resort in the new year, I can imagine the excitement that you and your family have. I would be counting down the days! I'm here to share more about some changes at Disneyland Park's
Critter Country that I am absolutely thrilled about!
While it's not fun being the bearer of not-so-magical news, I have to share that the Splash Mountain attraction will not be returning but don't fret because a new attraction is taking its place (with the same familiar water drop from the mountain). Splash Mountain has been reimagined to
Tiana's Bayou Adventure, featuring Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen with friends from the film The Princess and the Frog, and some new critter characters. While we don't have an exact date just yet, it has been announced as later this year (2024), and you can bet I am counting down to my journey through the bayou. The animatronics look lifelike and stunning. The Imagineers did an amazing job bringing Tiana's story after her wedding to life. You can read more about this reimagined attraction on
Disney Parks Blog.
I sure hope that you and your family will be able to experience Tiana's Bayou Adventure while you're in town! In addition to the attraction, you can dine at
Tiana's Palace for some eats, walk through New Orleans Square shops, including
Eudora's Chic Boutique, and explore Ray and Louis'
new shops in Critter Country! I hope that when you visit, you'll have the most magical time, Tina. Keep an eye on Disneyland's
Instagram as they tend to announce new things happening at the parks, like the opening of this magical new attraction! If you have any other questions feel free to hop back over with
another message!
'Til then, blue skies and sunshine!
