Almost There! This Week at Walt Disney World
Previews Begin for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
It’s happening! Previews for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure are underway at Magic Kingdom, bringing fans closer to experiencing the highly anticipated attraction. Cast Member previews have started, with early guests sharing glimpses of the queue, character animatronics, and beautiful bayou theming.
While the official opening date is still a few weeks away, the buzz is real. Fans hoping to be among the first riders should keep an eye on Passholder and DVC preview announcements coming soon.
Tiana’s Tiaras, Food, and More
Greg’s Merch Minute dives into all the new themed items available throughout Magic Kingdom. From light-up Tiana tiaras to themed mugs and apparel, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate New Orleans royalty.
The food game is strong, too—look for sweet beignets and specialty dishes inspired by Princess Tiana’s story. It’s a full sensory celebration that’s “almost there” in every way.
Mickey and Friends and CommuniCore Murals
Over at Epcot, more progress has been made on CommuniCore Hall and Plaza. This week, new murals featuring scenes from Encanto and other Disney favorites have appeared. The Mickey and Friends meet-and-greet is nearly ready, and cast members have started sneak previews of the interactive space.
Dance Party at Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios has added surprise fun to the evenings—a pop-up dance party inviting guests to let loose to pop hits and classic Disney tunes. Located near the entrance of Animation Courtyard, it’s the perfect energy boost to end your park day.
