Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Golden Book Cover Reveal!
Disney fans have a new treasure to add to their collection with the upcoming release of the “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” Little Golden Book. The cover of this delightful book has just been revealed, offering a sneak peek into the magic and adventure that awaits readers and theme park visitors alike. Based on the eagerly anticipated Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attraction at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, the book is set to hit shelves on September 3, 2024. It has been available for preorder for the past month, building excitement among fans of all ages.
The cover illustration of the Little Golden Book features Tiana, the beloved heroine from Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog,” dressed in her adventure outfit and accompanied by her alligator friend, Louis. The cover also showcases the critters from the attraction, the iconic 50-foot drop, and the tiara-topped water tower that has become a symbol of Tiana’s new adventure.
The Transformation from Splash Mountain to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
The journey to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure began with a controversial transformation. The attraction is a reimagining of the classic Splash Mountain ride, which has been a favorite at Disney parks for decades. The original Splash Mountain, inspired by the animated sequences from the controversial 1946 film “Song of the South,” featured characters and songs from the film, and its log flume design became iconic.
However, in response to evolving cultural sensitivities and a growing commitment to diversity and inclusion, Disney announced in 2020 that Splash Mountain would be rethemed to feature Tiana and her friends from “The Princess and the Frog.” This change not only updates the ride with a more inclusive story but also brings the rich culture and vibrant music of New Orleans to life in a thrilling new way.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure: A New Chapter
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is set to open at Walt Disney World on June 28th and will debut at Disneyland later this year. The ride takes guests on a musical journey with Tiana and Louis as they prepare for Mardi Gras and face new challenges in the Louisiana bayou. The attraction promises to be a feast for the senses, featuring state-of-the-art animatronics, dazzling visual effects, and, of course, the soulful sounds of New Orleans jazz.
The Little Golden Book adaptation of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is expected to capture the magic of the ride, making it a must-have for young readers and Disney collectors. Fans of Little Golden Books know that authors capture the story with charming illustrations and engaging prose, so this book will fit right in with the other Disney Golden Books.
