We’ve been waiting for MONTHS to hear when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in Disney World and Disneyland.
While we’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction of the new ride, we keep getting more and more excited to ride it! Now, the company has shared that an official announcement would be coming later tonight, May 12th.
Disney has just announced that tonight’s episode of American Idol is Disney Night! Not only will the contestants be singing songs from various beloved Disney films, but there will also be a special announcement about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!
According to Disney’s wording, we’ll hear a “special announcement as we gear up to celebrate the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World.” We’re pretty sure this announcement is meant to be the opening date of the ride, before it was accidentally announced on Disney World’s website.
The episode airs tonight at 8PM EST/5PM PST, so tune it to hear the official announcement. We will pass it on to you as soon as we hear, so stay keep following AllEars!
