Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Details
In the latest update regarding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which will replace Splash Mountain, Disney shared that this ride will pick up where “The Princess and the Frog” movie left off, journeying through New Orleans Carnival and a trip to the bayou. This attraction will feature the familiar voices from the film, including Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana, Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen, Michael Leon Wooley as Louis, and Jenifer Lewis as Mama Odie.
Disney stated, “The attraction will get a whole new look and feel.

Revamp of Mickey’s Toontown
Plans for Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland, which has been partially closed since 2021, were also unveiled. The revamp will feature Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, an adventurous and family-friendly ride that made its debut in Orlando in 2020.
Mickey’s Toontown, expected to reopen in early 2023, will also showcase a special exhibit of costumes and props. Additionally, it will feature Donald Duck and Goofy-themed grassy play spaces, providing engaging experiences for younger parkgoers.
Disney’s 100th Anniversary Celebrations
The company is set to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2023, beginning in late January. The celebrations will include two new nighttime shows: “World of Color – One,” which will “celebrate the storytelling legacy started by Walt Disney a century ago” at Disney California Adventure park, and “Wondrous Journeys,” featuring nods to all 60 Walt Disney Animation Studios films to date at Disneyland park.
These exciting updates and celebrations highlight Disney’s commitment to creating memorable experiences for guests, further solidifying its iconic status in the theme park industry.
