TIANA'S BAYOU ADVENTURE FAQ (UPDATED)

We finally have some details about Tiana's Bayou Adventure opening at Magic Kingdom, and we're guessing you might have questions. Here are the answers we know so far:

Q: When can we ride it?!

A: Annual Passholder previews are June 13-18 & June 20. Disney Vacation Club preview are June 12 & 19. Opening day for everyone is June 28. D23 Gold Members will be able to ride at a special ticketed event and we will update this post when we have those details. Cast Members will also likely be able to book previews soon.

Q: How do we ride it?

A: Once the attraction officially opens, it will be included as part of Genie Plus and will apparently use a Virtual Queue for a limited time. This is an unusual combination and it seems that the Virtual Queue component will not last as long as it usually does with other new attractions. Annual Passholder Previews will use the Virtual Queue system. You can book Virtual Boarding Groups for Tiana's Bayou Adventure and either TRON or Guardians on the same day for Passholder Previews. There are two chances for Virtual Boarding Groups - 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM. DVC members will have to register beginning May 16 and must have a qualifying resort stay using their membership, as well as park admission to Magic Kingdom for all qualifying guests who wish to ride.

Q: Can I ride multiple times in a day?

A: This is unclear. It seems that maybe you can book using Genie Plus AND get a Virtual Boarding Group? We'll update when we know more.

So, I’ve seen a lot of people say this means Individual Lightning Lane will not be an option. I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I kind of count on the fact I can be guaranteed at least one ride. I pretty much planned a September trip around getting on this attraction! I just don’t see how they will be able to handle a VQ drop AND regular G+ reservations all at 7:00 am! Wait and see I guess. . . Any thoughts?

maybe limit G+ to afternoon slots and use VQ for in the AM? I have no inside information just how I could see it working but total guess on my part.

missed my chance-the dates for the AP preview literally were all around my Magic Kingdom reservations and of course they are no longer taking reservations for MK now :( Low key irritated but since I"ll be back in NOV I guess I'll just ride it then. edited the typo I noticed out

It seems you can join the 1PM VQ drop if you have a reservation in another park.

checked into it and it does appear that way. Also hoping they add a 3rd VQ drop at 6 on nights w/extended evening hours but if not it's not a big deal. My daughter's favorite ride was Splash Mountain when she was 8 and she isn't even bothered if we can't ride it now since we'll be back in NOV anyways.
