This June, be among the first to experience Tiana's Bayou Adventure—a new attraction in Magic Kingdom park! As a special thank you for being an Annual Passholder, you're invited to ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure before the attraction opens to the general public on June 28, 2024. Passholder Preview DatesPassholder previews will take place at Magic Kingdom park on June 13, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 20. About Tiana's Bayou AdventureEmbark on an enchanting musical journey inspired by the Disney animated film The Princess and the Frog! Tiana's Bayou Adventure brings you into the next chapter of Princess Tiana's story. Join Tiana and jazz-loving alligator Louis on a voyage through shimmering bayou waters as they prepare for a spirited celebration during Mardi Gras season. Along the way, you'll see familiar faces, make new friends and plunge into fun—while enjoying toe-tapping tunes that will transport you to a lush Louisiana marsh. Park Reservations & Virtual Queue RequiredA virtual queue will be in place for Annual Passholder previews of Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Here’s how it works! - First, make a park reservation to Magic Kingdom park on a preview date to have the opportunity to join the 7:00 AM virtual queue for that day. Or, you can make a park reservation to any theme park on a preview date to have the opportunity to join the 1:00 PM virtual queue.
- On the date of your reservation, request to join the virtual queue by using the My Disney Experience app. There will be 2 opportunities to join each day of previews.
- The 7:00 AM virtual queue will be available to Passholders with a park reservation to Magic Kingdom park for that day.
- The 1:00 PM virtual queue will be available to Passholders with a park reservation to any theme park for that day. As a reminder, Passholders must enter the theme park where they have a reservation prior to visiting Magic Kingdom park. Or, on June 13, 14, 17, 18 or 20, they can enter Magic Kingdom park without a reservation after 2:00 PM.
- Passholders do not need to have entered a theme park when they request to join the virtual queue.
Important Information- Passholders must have a Walt Disney World Resort Annual Pass with valid admission on the preview date. Applicable pass blockout dates apply. Park reservations are limited and subject to availability.
- Each Passholder can request to join a virtual queue no more than once per day.
- Passholders may hold boarding groups for the preview virtual queue and an attraction virtual queue at the same time, when available.
- Joining the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to participate in the preview. Boarding groups for a virtual queue are limited, subject to availability and are not guaranteed. Not all boarding groups may be called to return, based on availability of the attraction. Learn more about virtual queues.
- Offering, dates and hours are subject to change or cancellation without notice or liability.

Darn. We don't arrive until June 23, so we'll miss all these previews. But at least we will be there for the official opening. There's a whole week between the previews and the opening, though, so, I'm hoping there will be a way to get on the attraction during that time either through DVC or my annual pass.

We will miss the previews, but that is ok. We will be there over July 4th weekend and will ride it then.

As luck would have it, the 12th is one of the few days during our week there that we have no ADRs or other reservations/plans so don't have to worry about any conflicts or rearranging anything. We were planning to rope drop AK that morning and have some rest time during the day to then do deluxe resort after hours at MK in the evening so our one DVC preview opportunity is right at the best day/time. I've scheduled a "meeting" on Thursday so I can hopefully get a few minutes of peace and quiet to deal with event registration.  There's no pressure on me at all to get our crew of 10 (75yo mom who doesn't like thrill rides has respectfully declined, lol) into the small window of opportunity to see the attraction.  Any tips/tricks for these event registrations I should be aware of? We've never had a DVC member event coincide w/ one of our trips before. Home PC is a Mac w/ Safari and I have an iPad and iPhone as options for devices to use. Our company is moving to a zero trust policy so not sure I could get to the site via my Win 10 work laptop and since I'd have to go through the company firewall I'm guessing it wouldn't be my best option anyway. |

We just walked past it yesterday and the outside does look very much ready. Last time we were here there was much scaffolding. There was none this time and it looks almost ready for water.
Cheers.

We'll miss it by a week for DVC. No big deal. We'll catch it next year.

It seems that a passholder who travels just for the preview is taking some risk, if I am reading things correctly. What happens if you do not get into the 7 AM or 1 PM VQ on the day you plan to be in MK/WDW?

DH and I just received our email for the DVC event on the 12th. I'm probably far too excited but this is the first time, in our short time as DVC owners, that any event has actually lined up with a trip and we probably won't be back to WDW until 2026 or later so we're all really hoping we get a slot during our tiny window for DVC.
Probably something for the stupid questions board but will give it a shot here: does it make any difference if I click the link in both emails (the URLs are different) and have two tabs open or does the system just recognize that we're a single membership and queue entry is one per membership?

Is there an expectation that this will be VQ once it goes live, or only for previews? We wouldn't be caught dead in FL in June, so no previews for us. But we are back in October. And next May,
Cheers.

DVC preview is 6/12, 1-4; and 6/19, 9-1...sign-up for it starts tomorrow (Thurs) at 10 a.m. There are AP previews, too, but I'm not remembering those details....to do the DVC run, you have to have a confirmed, on-points, reservation as of 5/12 AND a MK park reservation....I'll be there 6/19 and I have an MK park reservation for that day....but have a work conflict w/the sign-up time tomorrow....if I can get signed up by 10:15 I'll be ok; otherwise, I'll miss it. I'm ambivalent about the ride--I'll surely go on it if I can get in, but won't be bitterly disappointed if I can't....

I'm ambivalent about the ride--I'll surely go on it if I can get in, but won't be bitterly disappointed if I can't.... Good luck! You have to have a WDW reservation “booked on your membership”. That can be: - a points stay - a cash stay at a DVC resort booked through Member Services - a reservation at a regular WDW resort booked using your points You can book for as many people you had on your reservation as of May 12th. And this is a Membership Extra, so you need to be an “eligible” member (ie: DVC Y on your digital membership card). AP previews are a VQ on the day. |
