Disney Park Pass Reservations are now at capacity for the early previews of Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom.

As of 10:00 am and just an hour after becoming available, June 13, 14, 16, and 17 are now at capacity, leaving only two dates available on June 18 and 20.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure preview

To participate in the Tiana's Bayou Adventure previews, 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.

For Passholders without a reservation for Magic Kingdom, note that the 1:00 pm virtual queue will be available to Passholders with a park reservation to any theme park for that day. 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.

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

They would have saved a ton of goodwill with fans of the original ride.

In the weird way, Naveen became the blink and you'll miss him character

Tha Realest21 hours ago

Sadly, the film didn’t do that great, and relying on “blink and you’ll miss them” tertiary characters more than main characters (Naveen, Facilier) was certainly a choice.

Somebody didn't pay much attention to the movie them. The turtle is heavily featured in When We're Human, and then again at the end. The Raccoon from the ride (who has an adorable plush) is also directly from the movie. Sure, some of the animals are new for the ride, but their designs fit directly with the world of Princess and the Frog.
