Tiana's Bayou Adventure delayed opening

Posted: Tuesday June 18, 2024 12:47pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has notified guests via My Disney Experience that today's 1 pm virtual queue for Tiana's Bayou Adventure Passholder previews will not be available (Tuesday, June 18, 2024).

Main Entrance to Tiana's Bayou Adventure

Tiana's Bayou Adventure has been experiencing frequent shutdowns throughout the previews, resulting in several hours of downtime each day. Delayed starts have been common, with yesterday's preview delayed by 3 hours.

Today's shutdown has halted the virtual queue at boarding group 26, and drained all of the water in the ride path. It isn't clear if or when previews will resume for today.

One more day of Annual Passholder previews is planned for June 20, 2024, with the ride set to officially open to all guests on June 28, 2024. To participate in the preview, 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.

Thank you for your input! Although today was my first post on this website, I’ve been watching for your data points when I’m at Disney for a few years now. Extremely useful!

No official reason but maintenance and low demand/ridership during the cold weather are the primary reasons. Believe the early closures continue into early February for now.

Thank you for tracking this! I’m assuming they’re closing the ride at 6 pm again? Any idea if there’s any reason for this and is it expected to continue?

Interesting. I had group 9 and definitely did not get the notification until 9:23 (after the stoppage). I did not get there until after 10 and entered without issue.
