Disney has announced that Tiana's Bayou Adventure, which is coming later this year to Disneyland, will include two reimagined merchandise locations.

The first location, Ray's Berets (currently The Briar Patch), will be the best place for guests to shop for headwear, apparel, accessories, toys, and more with firefly Raymond and his firefly kin in the coziest cabin in Critter Country.

Traveling further into the land, you'll come across Louis' Critter Club (currently on the left-hand side of Pooh Corner), where the friends of Tiana's Bayou Adventure call this local hot spot their home away from home. Louis' Critter Club is the place to go for apparel, accessories, home decor, and more, featuring some of your favorite critters and Princess Tiana.

The treats side of Pooh Corner will remain as a destination for must-have merchandise from Hundred Acre Wood, including beloved sweet treats like Tigger tails.

Critter Country will temporarily close on May 1, 2024, to make way for these land enhancements.

There is no word yet on which merchandise locations will be coming to Walt Disney World's version of Tiana's Bayou Adventure, but we should expect at least two.

Too bad I’m not fast with a camera… I saw the full sign when that construction door section was open. -

If I had to guess, everything else simply went to the dumpster

Any new developments on what’s become of the America Sings figures? Did some end up making the cut like was discussed previously? Archived? Scrapped entirely?

Not sure if this has been spotted yet…or if it’s ‘old news’…probably is but I will mention it regardless - While I was enjoying a cruise on the Mark Twain today I saw the official Attraction sign for ‘Tiana’s Bayou Misadventure’ in place. Looks the same as for WDW, maybe a little smaller in scale. Looked good. Sorry, no pix…it was a quick look. I lucked out as the door to the construction walls in that area was open as the Twain sailed by and I could seen the sign clearly. Also looked like some ride testing was going on earlier today, as I saw the canal flume flowing and also heard ride operator announcements. Edit - Ah, figured the Attraction sign would be ‘old news’ by the time I could post about it…carry on. -

I'm sorry but maybe I'm not understanding your response then. Sign 1. Standby Wait Time, Sign 2. LL Return Time, Sign 3. ? What is the 3rd one for?

I've said it twice.

I understand how it worked when it was Splash, I've used Single Rider myself in the past. That doesn't mean they haven't rebuilt/reconfigured the queue once you entered the barn for Tiana to accommodate Single Rider. Also given that WDW only has two signs for Tiana not three I'm not sure what the third one would be for here at DLR if not for single rider, especially since WDW never had single rider for Splash previously. So you have Standby/VQ and LL, what would the third one be for in your mind if not for Single Rider?

Well, go watch a video of the full queue. It's barely wide enough to accommodate standby and LL let alone a third option. I'm also pretty sure there are no other shortcuts to the loading area from the normal entrance. I'm pretty confident single rider will remain at the exit, but is a moot point for the moment because it most likely won't exist until the attraction is finished with virtual queue and goes back to normal operation. Here's a video of single rider, and while you did have to weave a bit through the exiting guests (and the walkways were plenty wide to accommodate that), there was a fairly good sized queue for single rider that was past where riders disembark. I've done it several times and it never felt like it was clogging up the exit. I don't dismiss that they could have done some queue changes during the update, but I still lean toward the third sign being a wait/return time indicator.

I could see them not wanting to clog up the exit anymore with single rider and creating a proper single rider line at the entrance.

Don't single riders enter at the exit? I doubt they will have 3 separate lines weaving through the interior queue. The third sign is probably standby wait time or LL return time, not single rider.
