I can see why people line up for over 45 minutes for this ride! Thank goodness we had the lightning pass! I love the ride, the effects, the 3D, the music, the story. An all-inclusive thrilling experience! I have not seen the movie before going on this ride. I think it's going to be one of the next Disney movies I watch.

From the outside, you can see the final drop, which is steep and very fast, but once you're in line, you begin to enjoy the ride, especially if you're a fan of the movie. The entire ride is beautiful and includes other free falls. I thoroughly enjoyed this ride.

Probably one of the best rides - in top 5 for sure - in all of Disney. Waiting for 60 minutes to experience this ride was totally worth it. The ride itself was absolutely exhilarating and exceeded my expectations. The view of Cinderella Castle just before the final descend was breathtaking. Maybe I was hallucinating, but I was smelling beignet cooking towards the end. If it was intentionally staged, I have to say it was ingenuity. Waiting for 60 minutes for the ride was more than bearable. Observing little interior design details of NOLA of early 20th century + jazz music were quite an experience. Do not miss out.

Very well themed to Princess and the Frog Movie. The ride is so fun, has a couple little drops and then that last one is a doozy! The first row gets pretty wet but the rest and at the back you can stay fairly dry. But a super fun ride!

Ride didn't change from old splash mountain but the theme isn't as good. I understand why they change but the new theme is not a good story. Pretty poor.

This overlay was great! The story is a little lacking but the quality of the retheme is perfection. We had a great time on the ride and the imagineers really did bring the freshness of magic to the ride. Tons of little details, and we all loved being shrunk and return over the course of the ride. Well done Disney!!!!!!

You will get wet so get your poncho ready to avoid feeling cold. There is up and down which is not bad at all. The decoration is well worth the wait. You have to join the queue online on the app where it can be completed in one minute so you have to check the opening time for booking and be super fast to join.

Love the updates and the new theming! It totally captures the spirit of celebration and family that Tiana was trying to capture with her restaurant! I also loved how they tied in food to the experience. No imported smells or anything, but lots of ingredients all throughout the ride. The track is still the same, and the experience is no different than before the facelift, but if anything, it's more energetic and fun. My only complaint? It needs more Dr. Facilier! In fact, it has none currently! So, they do depart from the "plot" of the original Splash Mountain (no escape from the villains before the final drop). But, that's a minor complaint. Instead of the same plot, they do make the ride their own. Again, this is a great thing, as it brings more attention to the film it's based on, and it's a very fun experience from start to finish. Definitely an improvement! I hope maybe in the future they add Facilier in some fashion, but if they don't, I won't complain. It's still quite a great time and a wonderful attraction!

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is the reimagined ride that was previously Splash Mountain. The ride is located in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom Park. There is an identical ride at Disneyland as well! Tiana's Bayou Adventure is a water ride. You will get wet! There are big drops on this ride too! There is a height restriction of 40in minimum or taller to ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure. The ride is still a lot of fun! Right now, it's only available via virtual queue for Walt Disney World at Magic Kingdom. You can also buy a lightning lane for this ride as well! If you get in the virtual queue, you'll get a boarding number. Once your number is called, you'll have an hour to get back to Tiana's Bayou Adventure to check-in. There is a lot of singing on this ride! It's based on the movie, the Princess and the Frog. You'll see a variety of characters from the movie. The ride is beautiful though! The best part is viewing the Magic Kingdom park during the day and night time before the big drop! You'll also get a ride photo for Tiana's Bayou Adventure. This is a must go on ride, especially during the summer!

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is the replacement ride for the classic Splash Mountain, sad to see it go but out with the old, in with the new! Princess & the Frog is the theme of this ride, so cute! Definitely bring a poncho, you will get a nice splash towards the end of the ride.

Haven't had the chance to ride this but had to check it out before Disney removed the VQ. I've heard mixed reviews after they re-themed it so wasn't sure what to expect. I do feel like I left more wet compared to when it was splash mountain lol- which can either be a dealbreaker for some people but personally I enjoyed it! Some of the animatronics are not working which is expected it happens but didn't expect that to happen so soon! Overall fun ride and prepare to get wet!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay! My, oh my, what a wonderful day. Plenty of sunshine headin' my way, Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay! Gone is Splash Mountain and the Song of the South which was replaced with The Princess and the Frog theming. Hey, whatever floats your boat! This ride is an awesome ride on a warm day! If you sit in the front row, you will definitely get drenched! It felt like someone pour a bucket of water into my face!

I was the biggest fan of splash mountain but the physical aspect of the new has not even three percent of the explanation that splash mountain had the ride looks different it is just the worst ride remake in Disney history

The update to Splash Mountain. Tiana's Bayou Adventure is STILL a fun attraction, and thankfully Disney has worked out a lot of the ride issues. I took friends for their first visit and of the 4, 2 of them said it was their favorite ride of the day. You WILL get wet, so be prepared.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is located at Magic Kingdom in Frontierland and has replaced the former Splash Mountain. It has recently reopened and although the ride track is exactly the same, the ride is looks and feels totally different. This currently is a virtual que only attraction. This means that if you have a reservation for Magic Kingdom at 7:00am you can try and join the virtual que from the My Disney Experience App. If you are able to get into the que, it will assign you a group number. Once your group is called you have an hour to return to the line. If you cannot get a group number at 7:00am, if you are inside the park, at 1:00pm you can try again for a group number. You will need the My Disney experience app to do all of this. There is no other option at this moment to get on the ride. The ride is themed after The Princess and the Frog movie and takes you on a journey through the bayou. All the characters from the movie are a part of the ride as well as some new characters. There are many drops in this ride as well as the giant one at the end. This one you can see from the park. You do ride in a log vehicle, 4 rows with 2 seats per row. You could probably fit three with smaller adults or children in the row. As the previous name implies, you are going to get wet. There are signs throughout the que to remind you, but you will get wet possibly even soaked. The ride itself is very cute, the colors, the lights, the music, everything is very pretty. I really enjoyed this ride; I thought it was remodeled extremely well. I was a fan of Splash Mountain since it was such a classic ride, but this was an excellent reimagined ride. I actually cannot wait to get on it again. I sat in the front and was completely drenched, totally soaked. But overall, it is completely fun, we laughed the entire time. They do take a photo on the large drop at the end so be prepared. I hope that they take the virtual que away soon so we can ride it multiple times. I for sure recommend going on the ride, you will not be disappointed. I cannot say enough good things about it! Make sure to check it out next time you are in the park.

Tiana's is super fun they did an amazing job converting it from Splash Mountain to an entire new attraction! There's tons of singing all the lovable characters from Princess And The Frog as well as some surprises around every single turn! You will get wet as I got kinda drenched but in the hot Florida heat it felt amazing so do yourself a favor and go get wet you'll be happy you did! If you love these movies like I do then you totally will enjoy this awesome attraction as it's perfect for all ages as it's just a few drops the way a log flume should be! Overall a super fun and awesome edition to Magic Kingdom so do yourself a favor and don't pass it up on your next visit because it really is a good time from start to finish!

Amazed with the transformation! Loved the old design, but as a huge Tiana fan, I absolutely love the new theming. They did such a great job bringing you into Tiana's life. The decor, music, and animatronics were very impressive. There wasn't really a storyline to the ride itself, but it was nice to sing along, see out favorite characters from the movie, and go on Tiana's adventure!

I loved it. I was actually quite curious about how the reskin for this ride was going to work. With the change from Maelstrom to Frozen they changed the route of the track at the beginning but that's not the case here. The track is exactly the same but wow is this different. Approaching the ride it honestly looks lovely now. The "mountain" is covered in flowers and greenery. The interior of the queue building is quite charming with lots of little things to look at. I had seen videos of the advanced animatronics that were going to be in the ride, but I was concerned about whether it would be like the Navi River Journey in that it has mostly screens instead of characters with one impressive animatronic at the end. That is absolutely not the case with Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Characters pop up multiple times and their range of motion is so impressive. There are screens being used, but the vast majority of the ride is practical effects. It was in the middle of the ride that I realized that I could not stop tapping my feet. I just loved the music for the ride and how the characters were interacting with it. Between this and Runaway Railway Disney has just been killing it with new ride music. There have been many reports of downtime for the attraction and my day was no different. It was down for at least three hours the day I was supposed to ride and I started to get concerned that I wouldn't be able to ride at all. When it finally did start again it was flawless for my first experience. I hope that's the case for you as well.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is the newest Magic Kingdom attraction. It has recently opened where Splash Mountain used to be. It is basically a face lift to the retired Splash Mountain. The ride is exactly the same as the previous, however, the set design is 100% different. This is a log style water ride, with two per row, four rows per vehicle. The line can get very long since it is new, and at this time, it is currently only available to ride by joining the virtual que or buying a lightening lane for additional charge. If you join the virtual que and are lucky to get a spot, it will assign you a boarding group. When your group is called, you can then enter the line. The virtual que is designed to be shorter waits in line but again, it can get pretty long. This ride will also be open during the extra parties Magic Kingdom has: Not so Scary and Very Merry Christmas Party. The ride's theme is The Princess and the Frog, which will take you on a journey through the bayou. All the characters from the movie are a part of the ride as well as some new characters. The ride itself, has many drops along with the classic giant one at the end, which can be seen from the park. As a reminder, you are going to get wet. The first row will always be the wettest row, no doubt. We went recently with some friends, I was in the back and my wife in the front row, friends in between. She was absolutely soaked when she got off. Shoes, shorts, shirt, everything was totally soaked. I myself, in the back row with another friend, we were pretty dry. A few sprinkles on our clothes but other than that, pretty dry. It really does depend on the row. The ride itself is very cute, very colorful, very light in areas, but you really feel like you are in the bayou. The music is fantastic as well, playing songs from the movie along with new songs as well. I really enjoyed this ride; I thought it was remodeled extremely well. Being a fan of Splash Mountain, this was a nice remodel. I still miss the old ride, as it was such a classic and iconic ride, but I understand why it was changed out. This ride made us all laugh, we sang along, we took photos and laughed some more. It was a really great time, and I look forward to riding it again. Don't forget to stop and look at your ride photo, they take it on the way down the last big drop. I definitely recommend checking it out!

I know people have mixed opinions on the transformation of splash mountain to this. I will say it was sad to see such a staple ride go away but Disney did a really good job with the upgrades and animatronics. Go in with an open mind that change is ok and appreciate what the ride once was and the memories you created when it was splash.

Got so soaked from the drop and when finished they don't have dryers but still a good ride

This is the worst disaster in Disney history. The ride has zero cohesive story, less than a fourth of the animatronics, no villain or protagonist, wide swaths of empty dead space with fake plants slapped all over to cover what beautiful sets and art they destroyed, a completely forgettable finale song, and a pointless drop tacked on with no climax. The ride cannot even operate reliably and constantly breaks down or has numerous characters frozen in place. The entire attraction feels outsourced by the lowest bidder, not the pride of Imagineering that Splash Mountain was. It was made to shill merchandising and drastically reduce upkeep cost, nothing more. They will do the same to Walt Disney's Rivers of America without shame.

My overall score for this ride would be 7/10. The animatronics are cutting edge and very nice! I do think the 3D animation looks nice too. But it just doesn't feel right without a villain. Maybe the ghost of Dr Facilier could be taunting us at the lift getting ready to take us to the other side, and Mama Odie at the top would grow us back up and send Facilier back to where he came from! Still like Splash better since I grew up with that version. Tiana is good, but Splash is BETTER.

Horrible experience. We waited in line for more than hour and then we finally got on the ride. Everything was good and we were going up the track before the first drop and it just stopped. Everyone on our boat was confused because it was a scary position and no one was saying anything. Shortly after, we went down the drop and it was so fun! So, I thought that would be it. Nope. We were continuing to the next drop before we saw many boats had stopped before us, so then it stopped AGAIN. Everyone just thought it would be another one of those stops that were really short, but after about 10 minutes, we were still sitting there, and they kept saying that the ride would continue in a moment. Every 10 minutes, they kept saying the same thing that the ride will continue immediately or shortly or whatever, but it never really did. Then, about five minutes later, they finally said that we were going to be evacuated and someone was coming to help us. But then still, it took them another 10 minutes for them to come, even though they kept saying that someone was on the way. This was a really annoying situation because again, we waited more than an hour for this dumb ride that won't even work. What's even more annoying is that as we were waiting for the ride to start again, I scrolled through many articles and I saw that this has happened many times and they continue to do absolutely nothing about it. I would not recommend going on this ride if you do not have a lightning pass because it takes forever to get on and it will probably break down. I'm sure if this ride worked it would be very good, but I'm still very disappointed in the experience. But, they did give us a free lightning pass for the inconvenience. So kudos for that I guess.

Great ride great robots and great layout and screens this ride feels like an upgrade to splash mountain the outside at night it's great!

the craftsmanship is amazing the animatronics are stunning I kinda don't like the 50 foot drop cause 1:I have almost fell out of the seat and 2: I was in the front so I am soaked and I have asthma but other than that it's amazing but it's not better than the og splash mountain. TRY IT

This is a complete disaster of an attraction. It is not original and everything about the ride is cringy. The original Splash Mountain was so much better. Disney World is no longer a place of great entertainment.
