Will Tiana's Bayou Adventure be Open During Special Events?

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is Disney World’s newest attraction, but there has been some confusion surrounding its operating hours. In this post we answer whether or not the ride will be open for special events like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened June 28, 2024. It picked up where the movie left off: with Tiana’s success! We can see what Tiana’s life looks like now with a successful restaurant.

Our team has been able to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and we all love it! It is a very cute attraction and you should definitely plan to ride it during your next trip.

Operating Hours

Finding opportunities to ride can be a bit tricky. For one, it is not part of Early Entry (only Tomorrowland and Fantasyland attractions are open during this time). Second, it is not open for Extended Evening Hours just like Splash Mountain was not open.

There has also been some confusion with its schedule during special events. At one point, it was on the list of open attractions for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Then, it was promptly removed and the question has been left unanswered for quite a few weeks now.

Now, the webpage for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure states that on party days it is open during the special ticketed event. However, it is not currently on the list of available attractions on the Halloween party page.

It’s safe to assume the attraction will be running during the party, and thus other special ticketed events as well.

It may utilize a virtual queue during the event like TRON does, but more details will likely be released closer to the event.
