Liberty Square Riverboat

The Liberty Square Riverboat has been closed since August 21st.

Liberty Square Riverboat

This attraction closed around the same time last year, so this seems to be a regularly scheduled refurbishment. Luckily, the Riverboat is going to reopen this week, on August 30th!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Splash Mountain closed on January 23rd, and it’ll remain closed until late 2024.

Disney is re-theming the ride to give it a Princess and the Frog theme. When it reopens, it’ll be called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

On a recent trip, we spotted the new “Tiana’s Foods” water tower up in front of the ride. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates.

Over on Tom Sawyer Island, the barrel bridge is currently closed. In fact, it’s missing completely!

A Cast Member told us that the bridge had been removed for refurbishments, and they’re not sure when it might be back.
