Not only on a wall.

— a note from the studio

“A log-flume ride at Disneyland in Anaheim, opened November 2024 in the rebuilt Critter Country attraction that for thirty-five years was Splash Mountain. The new ride follows Tiana from The Princess and the Frog into the Louisiana bayou on the way to a Mardi Gras party, with the same 16-metre drop at the climax. The music is zydeco. The frogs sing.

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is a log-flume dark ride at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, which opened to the public on November 15, 2024. It occupies the former Splash Mountain building in Critter Country, retaining the 1989 ride system and the climactic 16-metre drop while replacing every show scene. The narrative is a sequel to the 2009 Disney animated film The Princess and the Frog, set in Louisiana the day after Tiana's restaurant opens, as she leads guests to a Mardi Gras celebration in the bayou.

— the visit

Disneyland Park is open daily; Tiana's Bayou Adventure sits at the back of Critter Country, a short walk past the rebuilt Hungry Bear Restaurant. The ride is single-rider eligible and uses Disney's standard Lightning Lane queue system. The minimum height requirement is 40 inches, the same as Splash Mountain before it. Wait times routinely exceed 60 minutes through the morning; the line shortens after the evening parade. The ride closes during heavy rain and during the Halloween and Christmas overlays of neighbouring attractions in October and December.

— the year

The story is set the morning after Mardi Gras and folds Louisiana's musical year into the ride's twelve-minute arc. Zydeco, jazz, and gospel cues replace the country songbook of the prior attraction; the climax features an original ensemble of audio-animatronic musicians performing 'Special Spice,' written for the ride by composer Michael James Reed and lyricist Anika Noni Rose, who voices Tiana. The Walt Disney World version in Florida opened first, on June 28, 2024, with the Anaheim build following five months later.

— about the place

The Disneyland version in Anaheim opened to the public on November 15, 2024. The Walt Disney World version in Florida opened earlier, on June 28, 2024.

Splash Mountain, which operated in Critter Country from 1989 to 2023. The new attraction kept the 1989 log-flume ride system and the 16-metre climactic drop while replacing every show scene.

A sequel to the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog. Tiana leads guests through the Louisiana bayou the morning after her restaurant opens, on the way to a Mardi Gras celebration with friends and musicians.

The minimum height requirement is 40 inches, the same as Splash Mountain. The ride is single-rider eligible and uses Disney's standard Lightning Lane queue system.

Zydeco, jazz, and gospel. The climactic scene features an audio-animatronic band performing 'Special Spice,' an original song written for the attraction with vocals by Anika Noni Rose, who voices Tiana.

At the back of Critter Country, a short walk past the rebuilt Hungry Bear Restaurant. The land sits between New Orleans Square and the Rivers of America at Disneyland Park.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. The piece frames the bayou and the Mardi Gras palette the way the ride's final scene reads. A Small or Medium with a note from the studio carries well.

The warm bayou greens and the violet-and-gold Mardi Gras notes read well in Maximalist, New Orleans Eclectic, and Jewel-tone rooms. The piece anchors a wall beside dark wood, brass, and velvet.

Yes. Maximalist design leans on saturated jewel tones and layered pattern — the notes the Tiana's Bayou Adventure piece carries. It sits naturally beside floral wallpaper and dark cabinetry.

Above a standard sofa, a single Large reads cleanly; for a wider wall, a 4-tile Mural fills the field. Above a console table, a Medium centres at eye level.

Yes. Order the Dura Satin or Matte finish for vertical bathroom and kitchen installs; both are scratch-resistant and moisture-stable. The Glossy finish is for framed wall pieces only.

A dry microfibre cloth handles dust. For smudges, a damp microfibre with plain water. No solvents, no abrasives, no glass cleaner; the colour lives in the surface and stays put.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is drawn and hand-finished in the studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. No licensing, no resale art; the Tiana's Bayou Adventure piece exists only here.
