food IS a theme park
Remember when Walt Disney Animation Studios announced a long-form TV show based on our beloved The Princess and the Frog?
Tiana Topiary
This is not the update we wanted to give on the show that was slated to stream on Disney+.
We are “almost there!” It was an exciting weekend as Disney FINALLY announced the opening date for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom
We have been keeping a close eye on the construction progress in Magic Kingdom, and we are excited that we finally know when we will be able to travel through the New Orleans Bayou with Tiana and friends. The attraction will officially open on June 28th, 2024, and we have the perfect thing for opening day!
We’re simple people. We like chocolate Mickey bars, photos of puppies, and trips to the Disney parks. Know what else we like? Parades! You never know who you might see in a parade, plus we love a good parade float or antique car. Anyone else?
Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland
Recently, Los Angeles, California hosted its annual Kingdom Day Parade, which celebrates the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The parade is known as the “World’s Largest & Longest Running Life Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King,” and even featured appearances from some SPECIAL Disney characters!
Did someone say GUMBO!? We are now drooling!
Tiana’s Palace
We just celebrated National Gumbo Day at Tiana’s Palace in New Orleans Square at Disneyland Park and it left us wanting to learn how to make Tiana’s House Gumbo at home — and now we can!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is opening next year in Disney World and Disneyland, and we’ve gotten some pretty major updates on the attraction recently!

We learned more about the music for the ride, saw the water tower go up in front, and heard details about the animatronics. Now, Disney has revealed another Tiana-themed update! [Read more…]
Meeting our favorite characters in Disney World can feel like a magical experience.
Mickey and Minnie at Cinderella Castle
Whether you are visiting the Great Goofini at Pete’s Silly Sideshow or are dining with Donald in his Safari attire in Tusker House, meeting Disney characters is a ton of fun. But sometimes you don’t need to wait in line or spend a ton of money on a character meal to have one of these fun interactions. Did you know there is a Disney Princess in Magic Kingdom who greets guests in a secret location?
One of the things that makes dining at Disney parks unique is their character dining experiences.
It’s always a treat to talk to Princess Tiana!
Whether it be classic characters like Mickey Mouse or our favorite princesses, there’s nothing quite like getting to meet the characters you love while enjoying a tasty meal! There’s a new Princess and the Frog-themed restaurant coming to Disneyland soon — so is this spot going to be a character dining experience too?
You’ve likely already heard that the Splash Mountain ride in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World is being transformed with a new Princess and the Frog theme. We’ve heard when the rides will open, seen a lot of concept art, and even learned that more Princess and the Frog-themed areas are going to accompany the attraction. But now we’re ready to dig a little deeper and discover MORE about the new ride! (Mama Odie would be proud of that pun.)
New logo!
At the 2022 D23 Expo, we got to check out a small-scale model of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (that’s the new name for the ride, in case you didn’t know). By closely examining this model, we were able to learn a LOT about what we might see when it finally opens in a couple of years! [Read more…]
Princess Tiana is a big deal right now, with the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride opening in Disneyland and Disney World in 2024, a new Tiana’s Palace restaurant opening in Disneyland, and a gift shop themed after Tiana and Eudora opening in Disneyland as well! But that’s not the only big news about the princess from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog.
Princess Tiana
Now, there’s a bunch of new merchandise available online for Princess Tiana fans — not the least of which is a new pair of Minnie ears! Come with us to check out all the new items. [Read more…]
