Disney recently announced that Splash Mountain is going to be re-themed to the movie Princess And The Frog. Update: the ride will be called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

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!

A Beginner’s Guide to Frontierland

Frontierland is located in Magic Kingdom and has one of my favorite rides. Here is a hint: it’s an outside roller coaster.

Big Thunder Mountain is a fun thrill ride!

Rides: Splash Mountain is a ride that is always going to get you wet. (For a Splash Mountain Review click here!) Big Thunder Mountain is one of my favorite rides. Did you guess correctly? Big Thunder Mountain has more curves than drops. Tom Sawyer Island is a great place to relax and escape the crowd. It is not a ride but the only way to get to Tom Sawyer Island is by boat. Country Bear Jamboree isn’t a ride, but it is a fun show with singing animatronic bears.

Food: Golden Oak Outpost has drinks, chicken nuggets, and desserts. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe has a western theme to it. It has indoor and outdoor seating.

Shopping: Briar Patch has Winnie the Pooh and Splash Mountain merchandise. Prairie Outpost and Supply has jellies and candy. Splash Court has Splash Mountain merchandise. Splashdown Photos has candy and ride photos. Trail Creek Traders has Disney character hats. Big Al’s has sunglasses, water bottles, and Disney World fans. Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade is just an arcade room. There is also a General Store, Frontierland Trading Post, and Frontier Mercantile.

Because Frontierland has some fun rides, I find it very cool!

What I Like About It

Splash Mountain is located in Frontierland in Magic Kingdom and is a water ride. Now you can follow Brer Rabbit’s adventures. If you sit in the front row you will get VERY wet! I remember one time when I got stuck sitting in the front row with my dad we both got completely soaked! Even if you sit in the back you will get wet so get your ponchos out!

What I Don’t Like About It

During the end of the ride there is a HUGE drop. The drop is actually 52 feet! Besides the drop it’s a peaceful ride. If you like thrill rides and you don’t mind getting wet, then you will definitely love this ride. The lines for this ride can get very long, so either do it first thing in the morning or make sure to get a Fastpass+.

My Top 5 Favorite Rides at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is my favorite park because it has the most rides. My favorite ride is Space Mountain, which is located in Tomorrowland. The ride is in the dark and has sudden drops and turns. Too young for Space Mountain? My second favorite ride, Big Thunder Mountain, may be for you. Big Thunder Mountain is located in Frontierland. The ride is outside and has lots of curves. My third favorite ride is The Jungle Cruise. How amazing your ride is depends on your tour guide. On the Jungle Cruise you ride in a boat while seeing amazing fake animals.

Elephants on the Jungle Cruise

My fourth favorite ride at Magic Kingdom is Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This ride is short and is located in Fantasyland. Here you can take a trip through the mines but still ride a roller coaster.

Tons of FUN!

My fifth favorite is Pirates of the Caribbean. Now you can take a trip with the pirates. Keep an eye out for Captain Jack Sparrow! He appears at least three times during the ride.
