The official Walt Disney Imagineering account on Instagram has shared new images of Tiana's Bayou Adventure, currently under construction at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

The update includes a look at the mural taking shape along the exterior of Tiana's repurposed barn (formerly the entrance to Splash Mountain), which will be home to the main office of her newest business.


Disney says that more will be revealed about the mural artwork and its connection to New Orleans later this week.

Widened path to enable Beyond Big Thunder? 👀

That is a nice brick wall. Perhaps the children can sit on it.

It’s a great opportunity to teach them to enjoy life’s simple pleasures as they stop to smell the beignets.

Would have been a great place to implement a play kitchen.

Missed opportunity with the playground. It would be nice for the little ones to have something at the princess themed attraction!

No playscape is planned AFAIK.

I believe there were pictures earlier in the thread - it's just an empty spot right now. If nothing's there now, I assume nothing will be there upon opening. Of course, some sort of prefab structure could also easily be installed there if need be.

What's been done to the Laughin' Place Playground spot? Anyone have latest deets and pics?

have you seen it in person yet? I haven’t and I’m wondering if I feel the same thing. I’m hoping in person it has more life to it - which I’m guessing it does. There are several elements that look nice - and a few that don’t (looks at banner and fence mural haha)

It makes me think how this current crew would bungle the queue of Expedition Everest - which I view as one of the very best queue's in all of the parks - were it a new attraction and they were tasked with the design.

It just doesn't have the "wow" factor to me, looking more like an overgrown hill than anything. But it is what it is, and at the end of the day I'll be glad to have a water ride option back, since WDW as a whole could always use more options for cooling off.
