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!

My Top Five Favorite Things To Do In Adventureland

Today I will be telling you my favorite things to do in Adventureland in Magic Kingdom.

5. My fifth favorite thing to do in Adventureland is The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. On this ride you get to fly on a magic carpet and choose if you want to go up or down. My favorite thing about this ride is if you fly your magic carpet really high you have a great view of all of Adventureland! Another thing that I really like about this ride is how the camels that surrond the ride squirt water at you!

4. My fourth favorite thing to do in Adventureland is The Enchanted Tiki Room. If you are tired of being around a lot of people or just need to get away from the sun then I really recommend to try out this show. The Enchanted Tiki Room is a show with singing auto-animation birds. I really like this show because I like how unique and different it is. (If you would like to see my full review of this show click here!)

3. My third favorite thing to do is go on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. This boat ride shows you what it’s like to be a pirate. My favorite part about this ride is how Jack Sparrow makes an appearance three times and there is a tiny drop at the beginning of the ride.

2. My second favorite thing to do is go on the Jungle Cruise. On this ride you get to see fake animals. I like this ride because every time it is different because of your tour guide. The tour guide tells jokes.

1.My favorite thing to do in Adventureland is to go to Aloha Isle Refreshments and get the Dole Whip! (If you would like to see my full Dole Whip review click here!) This treat is delicious! A Dole Whip is a pineapple soft serve ice cream that you can get as an ice cream or a float. The best thing about this treat is how cold it is. (If you would like to learn how to make the Dole Whip while you are at home click here!)

Next time you are in Adventureland you should try these rides, show, and treat!

My Top Five Favorite Places To Cool Off In Magic Kingdom

Here are my favorite places to cool off in Magic Kingdom!

5. My fifth favorite place to cool off in Magic Kingdom is the Carousel of Process in Tomorrowland. The Carousel of Process is indoors and everyone can do the Carousel of Process because it is a show. The Carousel of Process is about how our technology has changed over the years and it is really fun! This show is great if you want to cool off because it is indoors.

4. The Pirates of the Caribbean is in Adventureland. It is a boat ride that shows you what it’s like to be a pirate and the pirates are trying to capture Jack Sparrow. This ride is indoors so it is perfect if you want to cool off.

3. The Enchanted Tiki Room is a show that is also in Adventureland. This show never has a line so it is a perfect place to go if you want to get away from the crowd. The Enchanted Tiki Room has audio-animation singing birds. The Enchanted Tiki Room is also indoors. If you would like to learn more about The Enchanted Tiki Room and see my full review click here!

2. My second favorite place to cool of in Magic Kingdom is the Jungle Cruise in Adventureland. (I know, Adventureland again!) On this boat ride you get to see fake animals with your tour guide. This ride is great if you need to cool off because the sun isn’t beating down on you.

Now this ride really depends on your tour guide. One time we had a great tour guide and so we enjoyed this ride. Another time we had an awful tour guide and so we didn’t enjoy our ride.

Now my number one favorite place to cool off in Magic Kingdom is Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover. In this ride you get to sit back, relax, and get a great tour of all of Tomorrowland. This ride is mostly shaded and the wind blows in your face.

If you want to cool off while you are at Magic Kingdom than I would totally recommend to do these shows and rides.

My Top 5 Favorite Things About Disney’s Contemporary Resort

This post is a part of the My Top 5 Favorite Things series. Today I will be talking about my top 5 favorite things about Disney’s Contemporary resort.

5. My fifth favorite thing about this resort is how nice the people that work at The Contemporary Resort are. The people who cleaned our room gave us a balloon!

They also did this with my Minnie ears.

4. My fourth favorite thing about the Contemporary Resort is California Grill. California Grill is a restaurant in the hotel. What I really like about this hotel is how you have a great view of the fireworks. If you would like to learn more about California Grill click here!

3. Another thing that is really cool about the Contemporary Resort is how Disney stores are in the hotel. You can go Disney shopping without leaving the hotel.

2. My second favorite thing about this hotel is how you can take the monorail to get to the parks. You don’t have to get into your car and try to find a parking space. Taking the monorail to the parks is easier.

The number one best thing about this hotel is you can walk to Magic Kingdom!

This is the view of Cinderella’s Castle from our balcony. Magic Kingdom is really close!

This is great because you will be able to get into the park faster because you don’t have to wait in a long for the police officers to check your bags.

There is never a line for this if you walk to Magic Kingdom so they will check your bags and you are done!

You should definitely stay at The Contemporary Resort.

The Enchanted Tiki Room

This show is in Magic Kingdom and many people just walk right pass it and there is NEVER A LINE!

If you want to get away from the Disney crowd and want to sit in air conditioning then you should do the show The Enchanted Tiki Room.

First there is a pre-show outside. Then you go indoors and watch a show with auto-animation birds singing.

The show is bright, fun, and colorful. I would really recommend doing it!

Below is a video of the beginning of The Enchanted Tiki Room.
