Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will close for refurbishment on Monday, November 2nd, according to the Disney World refurbishment calendar. The Disney World website now states that it will reopen on Friday, December 18th, 2026. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a thrilling water ride featuring Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, and more beloved characters from The Princess and the Frog. It opened in Magic Kingdom on June 28th, 2024, making it over two years old. This is the ride’s first major refurbishment, and while Disney hasn’t shared any details about what the closure is for, it’s likely for general maintenance. The ride has struggled with animatronics mishaps since it opened, so this closure could address some of these issues.
