Disney: For more Tiana ride news, watch ‘American Idol’ tonight
Disney will be sharing more information about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the new ride at Magic Kingdom, very soon. (UPDATE: Disney announced during “American Idol” that the opening date of the attraction is June 28.)
The company’s social media accounts have advised people to watch tonight’s episode of “American Idol,” the posts read, for a special announcement as “we gear up to celebrate the opening” of the ride at Walt Disney World.
The posts include images with the animated version of Tiana, one of the royals in “The Princess and the Frog,” plus Louis the trumpet-playing alligator and a trio of animals riding a log down a watery slope.
It’s Disney Night on Sunday’s episode of “American Idol,” and it reportedly will include a guest performance by Jenifer Lewis signing “Dig a Little Deeper,” an upbeat, inspirational tune from the 2009 movie. Lewis gave voice to Mama Odie in the animated film.
Disney has shared many details about the attraction since it was announced in June 2020. What Disney hasn’t said yet: Its opening date. (UPDATE: After the social media posts were up Sunday morning, an official Disney World site posted that opening day will be June 28. But it was soon taken down. Stay tuned.)
