Disney4me Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 Believe it or not, Disney World can get cold. While the resort was built in Central Florida for weather reasons — and it can certainly get VERY hot in the summer — the winter months can get cold, which can in turn affect certain rides. Bayou Adventure in Winter Take Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, for example. The Magic Kingdom attraction is a refreshing relief in the middle of a Florida summer, but when you are soaked and walking around in cool weather, it can get rather uncomfortable. The ride offers plenty of thrills as you head down the 50-foot drop, but as you feel the cold water splash your body, you may regret your decision. Is there a secret to not getting soaked on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure? Let’s find out! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure We gained some insight from a Cast Member at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disney World about the secret way to avoid getting soaked while experiencing the attraction. Contrary to what many people might believe, there is no way for the Cast Members on the attraction to “turn down” the splash, but the Cast Member we spoke to did provide one way to get less wet. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure They recommended requesting a seat in the back. The water cannons that go off when the log goes down the hill don’t actually get riders wet at all. In fact, the riders are getting wet purely from the momentum of the log hitting the water after the hill. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure The main reason that some logs get soaked while others remain relatively dry has everything to do with the amount of weight in the log. The heavier the log, the more water will end up inside the log on the drop. That is why the Cast Member recommended requesting a seat in the back if you are hoping to avoid getting soaked. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Of course, sitting in the back won’t mean you won’t get wet at all. And depending on how much weight is in the log, you may still be wearing quite a bit of bayou water on your clothes. Be prepared to get wet! So, while requesting a seat in the back might result in you being less soaked after the ride, don’t count on it to keep you dry. Also, keep in mind that while Cast Members try their best to accommodate row requests, they won’t always be able to grant your request. Ask nicely and be prepared that the Cast Member may be unable to seat you in the back. If you choose to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, you will want to be prepared to leave soaking wet. However, embrace the fun AND the wetness. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World tips, tricks, and news!
