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.

I actually love this a lot hahaha. I wish Disney weren’t afraid (outside of this show) to actually reference Splash today like they do with other yesteryear attractions. Maybe this is a start? Probably not, but I love how in line with Deadpool it is! Hoping this joke isn’t something that is eventually cut because of some unnecessary backlash.

At least we can all laugh about it, with Deadpool? Right?

I’d say it’s pretty clear what Disney thinks about most of their fans and their opinions lol

In case you wondered what Disney thought about opinions of Splash Mountain being retired.

Unfortunately, the only language today’s Disney speaks is money. The only way to get them to listen is to stop going to the parks, stop going to their movies, and stop buying their merch and food. That’s why Universal Orlando and Dollywood are getting nearly all my theme park funds these days. And when I use my cheap locals pass to visit WDW, it’s usually to take a nice walk around and then leave without spending a dime.

The top of the hill looks like fake Rainforest Cafe foliage used to cover something up that used to be there. I still can’t get over how visually unappealing and disproportional it looks. Might as well add a Spirit Halloween banner to the top- at least it’d give you something to look at.

The perspective is so badly done on this. It has always looked like Tiana and the Alligator were 70ft tall.

I was always against the entire thing. And I still am.

For me the whole attraction would have to feel like this art. Originally I was against the boat in the tree. I would have preferred the tree by itself. But I'd take the boat over what we have now.

I was one of those "optimists" at the time of the announcement. The concept art is gorgeous because it holds Mama Odie's treehouse at the top feeling like a WDI stroke of genius. Having that giant tree with hundreds of lights would seriously be that "cherry on the top" to the ice cream evening out the disproportionate shape of the original- But now they made it look like an atrocius un-architecturally resonant further-disproportionate load of dog water at the bottom of the barrel. Tbh I would have been happy about the entire ride if they kept that element. It would also be gorgeous behind HM...

I cant say it did the same for me at the time as this was the concept art released with the original announcement so I was angry but I can say now that I wish the ride felt like this piece of art. It captures the magic of the movie. Tiana looks like Tiana. They're not overdoing it with wordy purple banners and food murals.
