You will be able to join Princess Tiana and Louis as they prepare for their first Mardi Gras performance.

The Disney Imagineers have said that the ride will have amazing music and will be set in New Orleans and the Louisiana bayou. Tiana is a modern, courageous, and empowered woman who doesn’t lose sight of what is important. Update: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is expected to open in late 2024.

I am looking forward to this attraction because I like the Princess And The Frog movie and I know the Disney Imagineers are going to do a great job on this ride!

Important Disney World Theme Park News

Disney World just sent me this email explaining about how to make reservations. Now you have to have a reservation or else you can’t get into the parks.

Entering a theme park requires both a reservation and valid ticket or annual pass for admission to the same park on the same day.

Walt Disney World theme parks will begin opening on July 11, 2020. Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will open on July 11, 2020 while Epcot and Hollywood Studios will open on July 15, 2020. I will be telling you about the safety measures the Disney parks will now be taking.

Disney Vacation Club properties at Disney World and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground will begin to reopen on June 22, 2020. Disney Vacation Club properties in Vero Beach, Florida and Hilton Head, South Carolina will open on June 15, 2020.

Phased Reopening Of Disney Springs Information

Disney Springs reopened on May 20. I am going to tell you the safety measures Disney Springs will now be taking. The Disney World parks and Disney hotel resorts are still closed though.

You are required to wear a face covering if you are ages 3 and up. (If you are reading this I am pretty sure you are older than 3.) All the face coverings should:

  • Fully cover your mouth and nose and let you remain hands-free
  • Fit comfortably and snugly against the side of your face
  • Be secured by either ties or ear loops
  • Your face covering should be made of breathable material and either disposable or reusable

You are NOT allowed to wear a costume mask. You will also have to go through a temperature screening. If your temperature is 100.4 F or above you will not be allowed into Disney Springs and your family will not be allowed in either.

Disney Springs will now be increasing cleaning and disinfecting in public elevators, handrails, benches, tables, handles, restaurants, and more. Hand sanitizer and hand-washing locations will also be available.

Ground markings will help proper physical distancing when queuing is needed. You can also now not park in the Grapefruit garage and all the surface parking lots will be closed.

This may seem like a lot but Disney Springs is doing this so you can stay healthy. If you would like to learn more about Disney Springs reopening phase click here: https://www.disneysprings.com/reopening/
