To celebrate the opening day of Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney Records has released the attraction's full soundtrack across all streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify.

Among the standout tracks is the all-new, original song "Special Spice," written, produced, and performed by Grammy-Award winner PJ Morton, with vocals by Anika Noni Rose, the original voice of Princess Tiana and a Disney Legend.

Fans of "The Princess and the Frog" will hear new renditions of beloved songs from the film, including "Gonna Take You There" and "Down in New Orleans." These tracks have been revitalized for the attraction and the queue area by renowned musician Terence Blanchard, alongside PJ Morton.

  • Anika Noni Rose – The beloved voice of Princess Tiana returns, singing vocals on "Special Spice."
  • Jon Batiste, Jon Cleary, and Trombone Shorty – Grammy-award winning musicians who bring their unique flair to various songs throughout the attraction.
  • Tarriona "Tank" Ball – A New Orleans native who performs a new rendition of "Dig A Little Deeper."
  • Dirty Dozen Brass Band – Playing and singing "They All Asked for You," a song well-known in New Orleans.
  • Preservation Hall Jazz Band – Contributing to tracks like "Louisiana Fairytale," "Tailgate Ramble," and "Bourbon Street Parade."
  • Leah Chase Kamata – Singing "Do you Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans" in the queue area.

This addition, like the Ray and Evangeline stars just create big-ol question marks as to why they are being added. Were they always planned? Are Imagineers actively trying to "fix" the attraction with small tweaks here and there?

It's that scene from 1984 with the huge head but instead it's saying CO OPPPPPP.... CO OOPPPP

I can't make out what the employees are saying, I'll just assume it's "Tiana is such a strong female individual with her employee-owned food co-ops and her inspiring other girls of color to work hard and become big successes! Also, Disney is so woke!" or something along those lines.

There’s also a regular gumbo.

No, Tiana has gone vegan with the plant-based “7 Greens Gumbo” at DLRs Tiana’s Palace… You know, because of all the Southern vegans that existed back in the 1920’s.

That would make a great running post...."Things overheard from Tiana's Sweatshop Foods Factory Break Room"..... I'll start: "if we can get the critters to play music for a party for free, can we also get them to pack boxes and run the factory for free?

I can't make out what they're saying. So I'll fill in the blanks (forgive me, I think the recent weirdness of some of the other threads is rubbing off on me): "It's so strange how our boss can only move when the logs in the river through the middle of our factory start floating towards her." "Yes, and she keeps talking about how great those animals can play. Like, that's literally all she says. I'm a little concerned, because she ought to be discussing our company budget—how can we afford to let all these animals run loose in our food factory?" "I know, right! The incident with the bear sniffing up all the powdered sugar a couple months ago...I don't think the lawsuits have been settled yet, but it's not gonna be cheap." "Well, I ain't payin' for it. I say we charge the alligator that hangs around all day between his trumpet gigs. That in itself is weird, because alligators don't have lips!" "Well, maybe we should get back to work." "What are we even doing here, cooking? Packing food? Making beignets that will definitely not taste good by the time they get to where they're going?" "That's true. Who in 1927 is bulk ordering crates of beignets to be shipped somewhere? It doesn't actually make sense. You know what, I quit." "Me too. I'd say we could hitch a ride out of here on one of the company logs, but they're down for maintenance."

Oh good. When the ride is down we can listen to the door. Unless they turn off the audio when the ride is down. ;)

Good to see they have their eyes on the ball in terms of what’s been missing with this attraction.
