Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is shaping up to be quite the musical adventure, coming this year to Magic Kingdom and a later to Disneyland. Today, we have details on several more critters who will be providing the soundtrack for the upcoming retheme of the former Splash Mountain.

Plus, some new non-musical friends have also been introduced and we’ve got a look at them seemingly from INSIDE the attraction!

What to Expect

In the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Princess Tiana is getting ready to throw a big party, but there’s been a bit of a mix-up between Prince Naveen and Louis and now the search is on for a band.

We already met a cute critter crew who will play in Zydeco style and also a whole band playing in the style of rara music, and now we’re meeting a yet another new group who will play in the the musical style of Afro-Cuban music!

About the Critters

Each of the new critters has their own intricate name and backstory.

• Felipe the Frog – Deep among the cypress trees, you’ll hear band leader Felipe making musical magic on the piano! Felipe is also the proprietor of an exclusive bayou night club, where the local fireflies love to dance the night away to a musical recipe of hot rhythms and spicy melodies. He’s an old-school family guy, especially to his “family” in the band.
• Mayra the Frog – Have you ever seen a frog play a flower blossom like a trumpet? You will when you meet Mayra; be sure to stick around for one of her toe-tapping solos. Mayra’s the most ambitious of the four frogs and has been practicing her instrument since she was just a tadpole!
• Mondo the Frog – Mondo is a natural on the conga drums, which he made as a happy accident when his favorite bottle cap got stuck on his second-favorite acorn. From there, the rhythm in Mondo’s soul took over! He’s very copacetic and accepts what comes, a trait as steady and reliable as his drumbeat.
• Isabel the Green Tree Frog – Learning from Mondo’s example, Isabel loves getting lost in the music playing her congas. She’s the youngest member of the group, and there’s nothing she loves more than “going with the flow” and getting to play drums all night long!

• Gloria and Delores the frogs are best friends who love to observe folks as they float in logs down the bayou. Don’t be surprised if they keep their watchful eyes on you as you float by. The amphibious friends love to sit back, relax and catch up on all the gossip from around the bayou.
• Lari the armadillo is a mischievous fella, while quiet in demeanor, he seems to always show up where you least expect him to. He has quite the habit of “borrowing” things that aren’t his (although those things eventually make it into the right “paws”).

See it for Yourself

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure retheme of Splash Mountain is expected to open at Magic Kingdom Summer 2024 and at Disneyland late 2024. An official opening date for either attraction has not yet been announced.
