Today, we have the latest look at the construction progress for Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Three large tree trunks have arrived this week, taking up position on the right side of the mountain. There are connectors throughout the trunks to attach branches.

Scaffolding has been removed in some areas, giving a clearer look at the new greenery and paintwork.

At the main entrance, work is underway on new walkways and a small elevated structure. We also get a clear view of the new Malaika Favorite mural.

Magic Kiingdom's Tiana's Bayou Adventure was said initially by Disney to open in late 2024, but recent wording from Disney has dropped the "late." There may be hope for a slightly earlier-than-anticipated opening.

You're spoiling the surprise. That's the real opening date... to drive synergy and strategic spend. I believe it will become a festival center in the meantime.

I happen to have a one day ticket to the magic kingdom I never used. I can't wait for them to announce the opening date. Being that I recently rode the one in Tokyo, it'll be quite an experience to compare the two. Definitely would plan to go at that time since Splash happens to be practically my favorite ride of all time.

If you haven't seen it in person....well, it's actually worse. And the washed-out yellow of the barn is certainly a choice.

The rainbow mural in the queue kills me. They're really turning one of the greatest theme park attractions of all time into a "live, laugh, love" house.

And the final drop is the crash of '29?

So far, the exterior is looking ok for what it is. But I really don't like that mural.

There will be a re-education camp, er... room - rather than a gift shop at the end of the ride.

I know you're just joking around, but the idea of the animals being reskinned as humans, but still looking animal-esque, sounds terrifying.

I did hear a rumor that The Laughing Place is becoming The Sensitivity Training Room but thought nothing of it. Now I’m not sure what to think. I am now certain that the rumor I heard about the iconic double drop becoming the Double Dip Recession sequence is true. Apparently, the flume will simulate riding the stock markets.

that is not Aunt Tessa, that is Eula Mae Johnson from Human Resources...

His family members make up the entire collection of Bond villains? To be fair, instead of exclaiming to my kids, “there’s Brer Roadrunner!” I will just exclaim, “there’s Tiana’s great aunt Tessa (who is the same size as a roadrunner)!” At least we can be certain the visuals will still be better than those on Ripsaw Falls.

I'm hearing that Naveen's entire royal entourage will be present and playing instruments! They are all humans, but they have very strangely-shaped features—for example, one of them playing the guitar looks like a turkey that pulled a rubber human mask over itself. Others have long snouts and sharp teeth like gators.

Wow. There is a lot of work going on beyond a re theme. Looking forward to seeing this when its finished. As long as the flume remains the same as it was, I am happy.
