We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again — 2024 is the year of Tiana!

Yes, we know, there are a LOT of other things happening in Disney World from the end of the EPCOT Transformation to brand new hotel buildings to highly-anticipated restaurants. But Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has had a ton of hype around it since it was announced and now we have a new update!
The new ride is coming to both Disney World and Disneyland this year, with the first opening at Magic Kingdom on June 28th! Ahead of previews and the grand opening, Disney gave us a first look inside including a snippet of the original song, “Special Spice”.

But now, you can listen to “Special Spice” on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music! The song is written by Grammy winner PJ Morton and sung by Anika Noni Rose, a Disney legend who voiced Tiana in The Princess and the Frog.

Disney also released a fun TikTok of the Cast Members for the attraction and then a clip of the finale. The song seems to perfectly match the lively vibe of the scene — we can’t wait to see it come together in person!

Since Splash Mountain closed in January 2023, we’ve been watching for every update, big and small. Now we know when the new attraction opens, there will be two ways to ride – via Virtual Queue (which will open at 7AM and 1PM each day) or by booking a Lightning Lane after purchasing Genie+. Before opening day though, Disney is hosting previews for Cast Members, Annual Passholders, DVC Members, and D23 Members.
