Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is getting closer and closer to opening in Magic Kingdom. There has been ride testing, the installation of new merchandise signs, a critter spotting, and more recently.

We are getting ready to join Tiana and friends on the New Orleans bayou to help save their Mardi Gras celebration. And Disney Parks just posted a video we think you would want to see!
We have been getting a lot of sneak peeks into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, including a look at some of the animatronics coming to the attraction. Some of the animatronics include Tiana, Louis, and Mama Odie. Well, Mama Odie just got a special visitor, and it made us smile.

Jenifer Lewis, the voice of Mama Odie, got a chance to see the Mama Odie animatronic in person, and let’s just say our hearts are smiling! She had such a wholesome interaction with the animatronics, as well as the Imagineers working on them. Take a look, we think you will have a smile on your face by the end:
@disneyparks “Hey sweetie, it’s Mama Odie.” ?? #Disney #DisneyParks #DisneyWorld #Disneyland #TianasBayouAdventure #DisneyImagineering #Animatronic #MamaOdie #JeniferLewis
And JuJu even made a special appearance! Jenifer Lewis exclaimed “There’s JuJu! Juju!” It was yet another moment that made us smile. Jenifer Lewis definitely approves of both Mama Odie and JuJu, and we are looking forward to seeing them inside Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

Jenifer Lewis even rounded out the video, singing with the Imagineers to “Dig a Little Deeper” from the Princess and the Frog movie. A heartwarming moment that will hopefully make your day a bit brighter!
