Tiana’s Bayou Adventure continues to get closer and closer to completion at Magic Kingdom. Most recently, crew and cast members were spotted riding the updated attraction.
The folks over at Mickey Blog even spotted Charita Carter, Executive Creative Producer at Walt Disney Imagineering, testing out Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

Ride testing already taking place at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure suggests the attraction could welcome guests in the earlier portion of its Summer 2024 window. Rumors have pointed at June 10 as a potential opening date based on other new offerings appearing at other Walt Disney World theme parks on that same day.
Whenever Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens, we predict there will be a sizable preview window before the official opening date. We think multiple weeks of previews for various groups (cast members, annual passholders, Disney Vacation Club members) are likely.
It’s worth noting that the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is Walt Disney World’s primary marketing push for 2024. Currently, there aren’t are other major additions in the pipeline. That may change before 2024 is all said and done (a nighttime parade, maybe?), but Disney will want to push and promote Tiana’s Bayou Adventure as much as possible. That means lots of previews and lots of hype well in advance of an official opening date.
