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.

People don't know how to film a dark ride. It's amazing how youtube will return the latest videos even if you want something from 15 years ago.

This looks 2D to me but hard to tell given the angle. Guess I do not remember this at all.

No charm allowed.

It was originally a 3d animation that looked terrible.

Was this changed on the mermaid ride? I remember it only being 2D.

Yes, it was. I looked for it when I rode.

Does anyone know the exact spot in the queue that used to look down at the final Brer Rabbit animatronic. It was definitely filled in, right?

I wonder if Disney will change the on-screen Tiana and Louis to 2d like they ended up doing for Mermaid.

So much potential for a new build if they had done one. A better story with the aesthetic of the HDYD scene’s dark bayou for the whole ride would have been awesome. I wish they did something better with the Laughing Place, it just feels like they had to add the shrinking section to fit the existing rockwork (in side-by-sides it’s obvious they didn’t even alter any of the roots).

Lol. The crap story/ dialogue part would be disappointing no matter what but still think I’d be pleased with the other features I mentioned. It’s certainly more fun than Webslingers and MMRR. The infrastructure, scope/ scale and ride time is very much not 2020’s Disney and that would be appreciated.

Yes, but presumably a new build also wouldn't be constrained by the pace and size of Splash's infrastructure and not have a 50ft drop just because it's already there.

If it was a brand new build but still had the same pre-school level story, bland repetitiveness and still shoved most of the cast of PatF aside in favor of a bunch of sappy-looking generic animals, I would be just as disappointed as I am now. In fact, I’d be more disappointed because that would mean they started with a blank slate and STILL couldn’t do better than “Can you spot the animal musicians? WHEEEEE, you’re all special!!!”
