Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Now Part of Magic Kingdom’s Extended Evening Hours

Magic Kingdom's Extended Evening

Hey Disney Vacationers! Exciting news for the Magic Kingdom! The much-anticipated Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is now part of Magic Kingdom’s Extended Evening Hours. This means more magic, more fun, and a whole new way to experience one of Disney’s latest attractions after the sun sets. Let’s dive into what this means for your next visit and how you can make the most of it.

UPDATE: Disney World has removed Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for the attraction list for Extended Evening hours as of July 19, 2024. At this time, my recommendation would be to check My Disney Experience at 5:55 pm to see if the Virtual Queue is an option on nights when the Magic Kingdom offers Extended Evening Hours. It appears that it may be “random” on whether or not the attraction will be open.

What are Extended Evening Hours?

Extended Evening Hours are a special perk offered to Disney Deluxe Resort, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort, and other select hotel guests. This allows them to enjoy select attractions at Magic Kingdom (and other parks) for an additional two hours after the park closes to the general public. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the park with fewer crowds and shorter wait times. Check out my guide for all things Extend Evening Hours.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure During Extended Evening Hours

Starting at 6:00 PM on nights with extended evening hours at the Magic Kingdom, guests can request to join the virtual queue for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Yes, you heard it right! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, inspired by Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, is now part of this exclusive offering.

How Does the Virtual Queue Work?

For those unfamiliar with the virtual queue system, here’s a quick rundown. A virtual queue allows you to wait for an attraction without physically standing in line. Instead, you’ll use the My Disney Experience app to secure your spot.

  • At 6:00 PM: Guests can join the virtual queue for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
  • Virtual Queue Access: As of now, Disney has not updated the Virtual Queue webpage to include specific details about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure during Extended Evening Hours. However, it’s expected to function similarly to the daytime virtual queue system. This means you can likely only join one attraction’s virtual queue at a time during these hours.

Other Attractions Available During Extended Evening Hours

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure isn’t the only ride available during these magical hours. You can also enjoy:

  • TRON Lightcycle Run: This high-speed adventure takes you into the Grid, offering a thrilling experience unlike any other at Magic Kingdom.

Tips for Making the Most of Extended Evening Hours

  • Plan Ahead: Make sure to check the schedule and confirm which nights offer extended evening hours during your stay.
  • Join the Virtual Queue Early: Since you can only join one virtual queue at a time, decide in advance which ride you want to prioritize.
  • Enjoy the Low Crowds: Use this time to explore other attractions and areas of the park with minimal crowds.

Final Thoughts

The addition of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to the Extended Evening Hours at Magic Kingdom is a game-changer. It allows guests to enjoy this new and exciting ride with shorter wait times and in a more relaxed evening setting. So, mark your calendars, plan your visit, and get ready to dive into the bayou with Princess Tiana!

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who. We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions. On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over. He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip. Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had. Will most definitely be using him again. He took care of everything and kept me on track. Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything. Can't thank him enough. He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
