Meet the New Critters of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure – Opening Soon!

A whimsical scene featuring brightly colored frogs among lush greenery, with text reading "First Look!" and an arrow pointing to one frog.

Get ready to clap your hands, paws, or anything else you've got, because we're going to dive deeper today! We're about to reveal the last batch of musicians who are hoping to hit the big time at Tiana's celebration during Mardi Gras season! Tiana's Bayou Adventure is almost ready to open at Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom Park and later this year at Disneyland.

The musical tapestry of New Orleans is rich with traditions and voices from all over the world. We've already had a sneak peek at critters who play Zydeco music and critters who perform Rara music. Now it's time to introduce you to critters who bring the jazzy sounds and complex rhythms of Afro-Cuban music to life in the bayou.

Deep among the cypress trees, you'll hear band leader Felipe making musical magic on the piano! Felipe is also the proprietor of an exclusive bayou night club, where the local fireflies love to dance the night away to a musical recipe of hot rhythms and spicy melodies. Mayra, the most ambitious of the four frogs, has been practicing her instrument since she was just a tadpole! Have you ever seen a frog play a flower blossom like a trumpet? You will when you meet Mayra!

Mondo is a natural on the conga drums, which he made as a happy accident when his favorite bottle cap got stuck on his second-favorite acorn. From there, the rhythm in Mondo's soul took over! Isabel loves getting lost in the music playing her congas. She's the youngest member of the group, and there's nothing she loves more than "going with the flow" and getting to play drums all night long!

Guests will hear all kinds of musical flavors from critters big and small around the bayou, just like they would walking the streets of the French Quarter in the Crescent City. Not everyone they'll meet in the attraction is a musician - among others are a couple of amphibious friends who love to sit back, relax, and catch up on all the gossip from around the bayou. Keep an eye out for Lari the armadillo, who seems to have a habit of "borrowing" things that aren't his.

The attraction is also home to critters big and small, with bigger-than-life personalities. We're getting closer and closer every day with progress on Tiana's Bayou Adventure. We hope you're looking forward to joining these musicians down in the bayou!
