Discover the Magical World of Tiana’s Bayou Critters

A vibrant scene of a magical swamp, featuring new characters among lush greenery and a serene waterway, with "NEW CHARACTERS REVEALED!" text.

As you step into the enchanting world of Tiana's Bayou Adventure, you'll marvel at the stunning murals and metalwork flourishes that come to life. From following the construction updates to witnessing the Audio-Animatronics figure of Tiana make her debut, you've been eagerly waiting to experience this musical adventure. And now, you can join Princess Tiana and Louis as they embark on a last-minute search for musical critters to complete the preparations for the big party.

The all-new Disney characters designed for this attraction, the critters, are the missing ingredient that Tiana needs to throw the best Mardi Gras celebration. Guests will discover a group of critter musicians playing a rendition of "Gonna Take You There" from The Princess and the Frog. With fiddle, accordion, washboard, and other instrument voices, this raucous Zydeco musical recipe will have you singing along as you float down the river under dancing fireflies. But who's behind this critter band? You can meet some of the adorable musicians and get to know them a little more.

Byhalia the Beaver is a strong-willed percussionist who not only builds dams but also helps build musical instruments using natural materials from the bayou. Gritty the Rabbit plays the washboard with high-energy flair and digs to relieve her nerves. Beau the Opossum finds limitless possibilities in the bayou and plucks out the low notes with her upright gourd bass, which involves some musical dexterity with her tail. Apollo the Raccoon loves transforming abandoned objects into works of musical art, while Rufus the Turtle jumps into rhythm with his harmonica and loves going on adventures with Apollo. Finally, Timoléon the Otter's fiddle-playing is inspired by all the 'kids' he spends his time around while in the bayou, and he loves telling stories of his explorations of every corner of the bayou.

Apart from these adorable critters, Tiana wonders who else guests might discover in the bayou. And if you wish to take home a critter friend of your own, you're in luck: Beau, Apollo, and Rufus will soon be available as huggable plushies.

Get ready to experience the musical adventure of a lifetime at Tiana's Bayou Adventure, which opens at Walt Disney World Resort this summer and later this year at Disneyland Resort. Stay tuned for more from the other talented critters you'll meet on this journey.
