Well, don’t fret because I’ve got a few helpful things you need to know before riding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when the attraction opens on June 28.
Tips on How to Ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
1. Drop on in-to virtual queue…
When Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens on June 28, it will use a virtual queue. Guests can request to join the virtual queue via the My Disney Experience app at one of two times: 7 a.m. or 1 p.m. While a standby queue will not be available during the attraction’s initial opening days, we expect to open a standby queue soon after the attraction’s opening.

Didn’t bring any? No worries. There are plenty of places to find ponchos in Magic Kingdom.
