Disney has announced the early Annual Passholder preview dates for Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

The previews will take place on June 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 20, 2024. To participate, Passholders must make a park reservation and join a virtual queue on the day of the preview via the My Disney Experience app, with opportunities to join at 7:00 am and 1:00 pm each day.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure Annual Passholder Preview Dates

Passholder previews will take place at Magic Kingdom park on June 13, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 20.

Park Reservations & Virtual Queue Required

A virtual queue will be in place for Annual Passholder previews of Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Here's how it works.

First, make a park reservation to Magic Kingdom park on a preview date to have the opportunity to join the 7:00 am virtual queue for that day. Or, you can make a park reservation to any theme park on a preview date to have the opportunity to join the 1:00 pm virtual queue.

On the date of your reservation, request to join the virtual queue by using the My Disney Experience app. There will be 2 opportunities to join each day of previews.

The 7:00 am virtual queue will be available to Passholders with a park reservation to Magic Kingdom park for that day.

The 1:00 pm virtual queue will be available to Passholders with a park reservation to any theme park for that day. As a reminder, Passholders must enter the theme park where they have a reservation prior to visiting Magic Kingdom park. Or, on June 13, 14, 17, 18 or 20, they can enter Magic Kingdom park without a reservation after 2:00 PM.

Passholders do not need to have entered a theme park when they request to join the virtual queue.

Important Information

Passholders must have a Walt Disney World Resort Annual Pass with valid admission on the preview date. Applicable pass blockout dates apply. Park reservations are limited and subject to availability.

Each Passholder can request to join a virtual queue no more than once per day.

Passholders may hold boarding groups for the preview virtual queue and an attraction virtual queue at the same time, when available.

Joining the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to participate in the preview. Boarding groups for a virtual queue are limited, subject to availability and are not guaranteed. Not all boarding groups may be called to return, based on availability of the attraction. Learn more about virtual queues.

Offering, dates and hours are subject to change or cancellation without notice or liability

I'd opine that they chose to leave the significant gaps, but that's just me.

The scenery and props were designed for the Disneyland space so they had to leave significant gaps for Disneyworlds longer flume.

Yes, there is little implied motion in any of these figures, or steps of figure. It's bad storyboarding.

The other issue I have with the animatronics on Bayou is that everyone is just standing/sitting firmly on the ground. There's no dynamic or interesting poses that allow for interesting animation. Splash had Br'er Rabbit jumping along the fence, Br'er Bear in the tree and thrashing around on his back, Br’er Fox springing up from the background, the Possum babies above the river hanging by their tails, turtles being lifted by geysers, the entire riverboat rocking back and forth... Everything on Bayou just looks so static in comparison. Edit - Forgot about Rufus the Turtle who bobs back and forth slightly. But it's still a very simple animation loop.

Curious enough I met Troy Landry at the Poly in 2020 while it was open just for DVC and diners. Nice fellow.

They also don't interact much with each other and are very self contained vignettes that don't build to anything. Think of the geese who's fishing line has nabbed another's hat, or the fish that jumps through the empty net. Think of the vultures looking at each other and finishing the other's sentence. Think of the rabbits commenting on the Brers chasing each other while a projection effect plays in the background. All of that is gone...and the heavier reliance of screens makes the new scenes look physically flat. The ride's soundtrack is doing the heavy lifting of giving life to the scenes, not their staging or animation.

Shelby would run them over with his boat so we escape over the falls!

Yes, this. Both of this. I dunno if they really qualified as "evil", but yes, the film dig have frog hunters. It still would've been a major downgrade from Brer Fox, though... I don't think you could make those frog hunters threatening at all. I suppose they could've made up a brand new villain, but they probably couldn't be bothered (or they knew people would still be complaining that we got this new character instead of Facilier).

Louis wasn't made of wood. Bruce is one to be wary of.

They could of had this guy going after Louis...

Didn’t the movie have evil frog hunters or something like that? They could’ve introduced conflict with those guys going after the critters if they didn’t want to go the voodoo route. Could’ve been similar to Brer Fox or the witch from Snow White.

no, I guess I didn't...there was nothing memorable about them to me... I was really focused on trying to figure out what sort of entrepreneurial enterprise Tiana would get into after she got her prince and her dream of opening the restaurant...you know, the focus of the entire movie...lol
