Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will officially open to the public on June 28 at Walt Disney World Resort’s Magic Kingdom.

Princess Tiana serves up delicious Louisiana favorites, and we’ve been serving you all kinds of news about her new ride. Your appetizer was a deep dive into the authenticity of the New Orleans inspiration. Your soup-and-salad course savored the profiles of critter bands and sweet moves of new Audio-Animatronics figures. And now, it’s time for the main course … Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens June 28 at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida!

If you were like me, you were glued to the screen as the talented Top 5 hopefuls of “American Idol” sang their hearts out with some of our favorite hits during the ever-entertaining “Disney Night.” Not only was it fun to see award-winning country singer Kane Brown mentoring the contestants out and about around Walt Disney World Resort, but it was an absolute delight to watch the voice of Mama Odie herself, Jenifer Lewis, perform “Dig A Little Deeper” on that iconic “Idol” stage before Ryan Seacrest shared the opening date for our attraction here in Florida. It was a pinch me moment!

Music to Our Ears

Just like we celebrated our exciting news live on television with that showstopping performance by Jenifer Lewis, we also celebrated down in New Orleans with the culture and people who helped to inspire both the film and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. PJ Morton – five-time Grammy Award winner and contributor to the attraction’s soundtrack – and members of the Chase family came together with Princess Tiana and Louis in the heart of Crescent City.

The voice of Mama Odie from Disney Animation’s “The Princess and the Frog” actress and singer Jenifer Lewis and legendary musician Terence Blanchard performed “Dig A Little Deeper” on ABC’s American Idol show Sunday night just before the June 28 grand opening date of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World Resort was revealed.

Founded in 1952, the iconic St. Augustine High School Marching 100 is a staple in Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans, LA, and has performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, NY and the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena, CA. PJ Morton, who contributed to the soundtrack for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, is also a St. Augustine High School alumnus.
