Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Splash Mountain closed in January 2023, and it’ll remain closed until late 2024.
The ride will be themed to the movie The Princess and the Frog and when it reopens, it’ll be called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. On a recent trip, we noticed that even more Splash Mountain decor had been removed.
We’ll keep an eye out for more updates.
