Hi Marisa,
Welcome back to
planDisney! There is nothing better than helping our friends plan magical Disney vacations, so we are so glad that you are here with us.
I feel just as much excitement to climb a mountain and cross a river with the Princess herself on
Tiana's Bayou Adventure. I can't wait to see how Disney Imagineers bring these funny, charming, thoughtful characters to life in this special place. It's going to be fantastic. Not to mention, with an anticipated opening date of late Summer 2024, I think we will all welcome a chance to cool off from the Orlando sun down in New Orleans!
While we can't know for sure this far out, it would be unlikely that a new attraction would need refurbishment so soon, outside of a mechanical problem. The best way to keep informed about the crew in the bayou would be to follow
Disney Parks Blog for any announcements about planned refurbishments. Then you can plan accordingly.
I know early 2025 must feel far away, Marisa, but it will be here before you know it! To help pass the time until your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation, I have two quick suggestions:
1. Check out the incredible
Princess Tiana merchandise at DisneyStore.com. (That
play dress is kind of irresistible.)
2. If you have an Alexa device, check out
Hey Disney! There are plenty of jokes, books, sounds, games, and character interactions to keep you entertained until it's time to pack those bags and make your way to Walt Disney World Resort.
I hope that's helpful, Marisa! Come on back and visit us at planDisney with any other questions.
Our "Dream wouldn't be complete without you in it."
Adventure is out there,
Sally
