He is but the animatronic's been broken during testing.

Then why are you looking for a band IN THE BOG, Louis? There are other places in New Orleans to find musicians, aren't there? Oh, good! Because with Tiana's luck, Naveen probably forgot to invite caterers for the party too. "Why? We've already got a pretty good band." "Yeah, but what we really need are tiny musicians most of the people at the party probably won't even notice. Like, I dunno, frogs." "...why do we need music-playing frogs?" "Because shut up, that's why." This line implies that she's going to make the musician frogs gigantic too. That's a pretty amusing mental image. Is she implying that Juju isn't a guest? And is the Juju animatronic even in the Disneyland version?

Imagine the amount of things they could have done to improve the park with that 140 million dollars if they hadn't invested it in making the park worse.

Ray's firefly kin and the fireflies swirling through the log are 100% recycled from the movie.

I'm reading this in late October and you wrote this in late August. The reason is that these AAs react due to the motion of the logs coming near them. This wasn't needed with Splash. Guests could figure out what was going on. But Tiana needs AAs to describe the plot as you float through. Bad concept IMHO.

They must have wrote that part of the script the day they were doing AA Tiana’s hair with an authentic hotcomb.

Here's all the dialogue for Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Made because I was bored and had some time to kill- Scene 1- Mill “Hey there y’all are! Louis is up ahead, let’s join him and find a band for our celebration! To the bayou!” “Welcome y’all! Let’s meet up with Louis and find some musicians for our party! Look out bayou, here we come!” “Hey y’all, thanks for helpin’ me look for musicians for our party tonight! Louis, they’re on their way!” Scene 2 – Garden/Slippin’ Falls “Yoo-hoo! Any bands down there?! Come out, come out, wherever you are!” “Yoo-hoo! Calling all musicians! Man, it’s hard to find a band in the bog!” “Hello? Anyone down here who can blow a horn and jam? Hello?!” “If you’re lookin’ for musicians, ya don’t have far to go! Tell the people Mama told ya so! Ah-hahaha!” “Gumbo gumbo in a pot. We need a band, whatcha got?” Scene 3 – Zydeco “Tiana was right! There are musicians out here, and they are cooking!” They’re the bee’s knees! I would love for y’all to play at my party!” “Tiana wasn’t kidding y’all! This zydeco band she found sure can play! Hallelujah!” “They sure can play! We’ll ask them to join the band for sure!” Scene 4- Rara “Tiana you were right! The bayou’s got just what we need!” “My, my! This Rara band can jammmm!!!!” “Mmmm, listen to this! These cats CAN PLAAAY!!!” Scene 5 – Louis Butt “I’m asking all of them to play at the party! But we need to keep searching high and low!” “How low can I go?!” “I hope they all come to the party to play, but let’s explore a little more!” “How’s this?” Scene 6 – Dip Drop “Time to think big! Time to get tiny!” (Tiny echoes as the log drops) “Y’all ready to get down to business? Ah-hahah!!!” “Unusual places hides unusual talent!” “Talent’s everywhere if ya dig down deep enough! Ah- hahaha!” “Where’d our friends go?” “I dunno!” “We have to find them!” Scene 7 – Tiana and Louis Peer In “Hmmmm, y’all got itty bitty little buddies!” “But you found the sound I was craving!” “Y’all small as frogs!” “Ha! Been there, done that! But you found the sound I was craving!” “Wow! This joint is hopping!” “These tiny musicians you found really bring the heat!” “Huh?! How’d you get so teeny-weeny?” “These tiny musicians you found really bring the heat!” Scene 8 – Big Lift Hill “Let’s getcha big again, ‘cause the bigger you are, the bigger the Splash you’ll make at the party!” “Ah-haha! Hope y’all enjoyed getting tiny! Now let’s get y’all back to your big, beautiful selves!” “Juju says its time I getcha back to size! Invite all your tiny friends to tag along too!” Scene 9 – Big Drop “Now let’s getcha to the party! You’ll get there in no time, guaranteed! Hang on y’all! This is gonna be good!” Scene 10 – Finale “I knew y’all would make a big Splash at this party! Ah-haha! See y’all again soon!” -Juju pops up- “Juju! Beignets are for guests!” -Juju pops up- “Juju! Be careful with my beignets you bad boy!” “Remember, this party wouldn’t be what it is without you! Ah- Haha! Bye!” “Tiana sure knows how to make a party special! Hee-hee!” – Juju pops up- “Juju!” “What a band!”

I think that, IIRC, the fireflies might be taken directly from the film? Someone can correct me on that if I’m wrong, but yeah, it doesn’t look great. The 3D stuff should be cel-shaded way more to blend it in better, but 3D graphics across the parks have frequently been poor with a few exceptions.

Just checking: Why in the pointless “shrink to get inaudible frog band” portion are the fireflies 2D animation and Tiana/Louis 3D in the exact same scene?

I miss it too. But the atmosphere of the scene is different enough that I was able to convince myself I was in a different ride (as opposed to the fairly obvious gutted Splash vibe given off by all the other scenes).

] Which they could have easily kept.

That’s the worst one for me. I miss the riverboat!

The only scene I was able to take myself out of the Splash context was the party scene at the end. That lasts for all of 10 seconds before the unfavourable comparisons to Splash started back up once I hit the tunnel to where Brer Rabbit used to be.
