Hello there and welcome back to planDisney, Tom. Thanks for stopping by with your question. It looks like we're in final countdown mode for your trip. Let's get to your question and make sure we tie up any loose ends before you arrive.
We're almost there!
Tiana's Bayou Adventure officially opens this Friday, November 15th, and just in time for your visit. You must join the
virtual queue to experience this attraction and you will have three opportunities throughout the day to join. The first opportunity will be at 7:00 a.m. and you do not have to be on Disneyland property to do so. You only need to have a theme park reservation for Disneyland Park and can request to join the queue from your Good Neighbor Hotel or wherever you might be. If you aren't successful at 7:00 a.m., no need to fret, you still have two more chances to secure that boarding group at 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. You must have entered the theme park to be eligible to join at these times.
The 7:00 a.m. virtual queue for
Haunted Mansion Holiday will work the same way in that you must have a theme park reservation for Disneyland Park to be eligible to join at this time. If you aren't able to join the 7:00 a.m. virtual queue, there will be another opportunity to join at 12:00 p.m. To be eligible, you must have entered the park with your ticket scanned. If you are visiting the parks with a group, I recommend linking your tickets in the
Disneyland app so that you can all join the queue as a group and ride together.
I had a chance to ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure during my recent visit to Walt Disney World Resort and thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't wait to experience this attraction at Disneyland Resort to compare notes.
Tom, I hope this has been helpful. I'll be sending all the pixie dust your way in the hopes that you get to experience both of these attractions during your visit. Get those fast fingers ready. It's almost time for your magical adventure and I'm wishing you all the best!
