Welcome Home, Jeffrey--and welcome to planDisney! It's always a great day when I get to meet a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member. Like Louis the trumpet-playing alligator, I'll be by your side as we journey to the bayou to track down an answer to your question.
Allons!I'm so excited that we're "Almost There" for the opening of
Tiana's Bayou Adventure. We longtime fans of
The Princess and the Frog have been eagerly awaiting this reimagining of Splash Mountain into a new attraction featuring Tiana and friends at
Magic Kingdom Park.
Although the official opening date for this attraction is scheduled for June 28, certain groups like DVC Members and Annual Passholders often have a chance to experience new rides and shows at
Walt Disney World Resort in advance of the general public.
There are two DVC preview events currently scheduled for Tiana's Bayou Adventure--June 12 and June 19. Registration opened at 10:00 AM today (May 16) for eligible Members. "Eligible" in this instance meant you had to have a qualifying reservation over one of the June dates that you booked with your DVC Membership by May 12,
and qualify for Membership Extras.
Jeffrey, at this time it appears that there is no longer availability for either date. A link to a virtual queue to register was sent out to Members who met this criteria via email, and it was posted on the DVC website. I am sure demand was high! Sadly, I don't have a June trip scheduled, so I'll be wishing on the Evening Star that I get to experience this attraction on my next trip "Home" this fall.
I'm sorry this wasn't the answer you were hoping for, but Tiana and friends are here to stay (hooray!), so those of us who will miss out on the June previews will have plenty of opportunities to check out this new attraction! Thanks so much for visiting planDisney, Jeffrey, and please don't hesitate to reach out again if I can help with any other questions about all things DVC and Walt Disney World.
Au Revoir!Susan
