Walt Disney Imagineering has released the new attraction poster for the upcoming Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom.
The attraction poster features a vibrant and colorful design, set against a yellow background with decorative elements that evoke the feel of a bayou. In the center stands Tiana from Disney's "The Princess and the Frog," smiling and striking a confident pose with one hand raised. Surrounding Tiana are whimsical outlines of Madame Odie, Louis, and several critters enjoying music. The poster's border is adorned with stylized drawings of foliage and swamp details, further emphasizing the bayou theme. At the bottom of the poster, in bold yellow text on a dark green background, reads "Frontierland," signaling the location within Walt Disney World where the attraction is found. The Walt Disney World logo is present in the bottom right corner, rounding off the poster's design elements and setting the tone for a music-filled adventure in the Bayou.
The Imagineering team has also revealed a second set of musical critters that will appear in the attraction in audio-animatronic form.
Often found at festivals and street processions, Rara is a musical tradition from Haiti that's part of the musical history and melting pot of New Orleans. Here are the Rara musicians you'll discover further down the bayou.
Octavia the Bobcat – Octavia plays the vaksin, a single-note horn instrument popular in Rara music. She's an adventurous bobcat kitten, and she loves climbing and hanging out in trees almost as much as she loves performing. This daredevil almost never gets scared.
Pawpaw the Bobcat – Not only is Pawpaw Octavia's devoted grandfather, but he also taught her how to play the vaksin! Pawpaw lives to make Octavia smile and has the view that everything has a way of working itself out – he's seen it all but isn't jaded.
Claude the Louisiana Black Bear – Claude is a salt of the earth kind of bear (or, as they say in the bayou, "salt of the mound") who plays his horn along with the other members of his family. He's a tinkerer who loves to create with things found in the forest, and is frequently funny without intending to be, especially when it comes to his home-grown creations.
Bernadette the Louisiana Black Bear – Bernadette loves to enjoy life, from splashing in the waters of her bayou home with her cub, Sebastián, to playing the horn with her mate, Claude. She's a clear thinker and is warm and supportive. Bernadette loves to sink into the bayou waters and munch on plants (so long as Sebastián is clearly within sight).
Sebastián the Louisiana Black Bear – Though he's definitely a "mama's cub," Sebastián charted his own musical course as a drummer, despite his parents being devoted horn players. He's happy to follow his friend Octavia's adventurous lead as they explore and play, and is fascinated with the small details in the bayou, like the insects and mushrooms.
Phina the Gray Fox – Phina's enthusiasm extends beyond her drumming, as she's constantly thinking of new ideas with optimism and energy! This imaginative fox is continually starting new projects with excitement, and her friends accept and celebrate her unique thinking.
Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open in the summer of 2024, but Disney has yet to announce a precise date.
