Y’all … it’s time to talk Tiana’s Bayou Adventure merch!
Recently, we announced that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open at Magic Kingdom Park in Florida on June 28, and now it’s time to talk all a-bayou-t the new merchandise you can bring home.
The merchandise journey began with Walt Disney Imagineering in 2021, when a team of Imagineers weaved together the story of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure with breathtaking concept art and inspiration from immersion trips to New Orleans. Through connecting with the people, culture, food, and of course, music of New Orleans, the team was able to guide the merchandise creative designers to develop authentic products that bring the story of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to life for all guests.
You’ve probably heard the phrase “shop until you drop,” but for this ride and its iconic 50-foot plummet, you’re going to want to shop before and after you drop. From clothes to home goods, tasty treats and more, there’s something for everyone.
It’s a Joyful Celebration with Bayou Apparel
Find new ‘fits for the whole family with attire featuring the logo for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, as well as Princess Tiana, Louis and some of their new critter friends.
Outfit yourself from head to toe with fireflies, log flumes and fun with the classic adult Spirit Jersey and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ear headband. And I don’t know about you, but I’m going to need a Louis Cuddleez Plush. Look at his sweet smiling face!
What’s this I see about a shortcut to the bayou? Hmm … I wonder what that means!
Would you check out that adorable Interactive Firefly? Just like the fireflies in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Princess and the Frog,” these little friends love to see other fireflies out and about – they will light up when they’re near each other to say hello.
Before you hop in your log to take a trip into the bayou, don’t forget the water resistant pouch to keep your phone dry.
You can store all your new goodies in a Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Loungefly Mini Backpack featuring Princess Tiana, Naveen, Mama Odie and Louis.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Plushes and Keepsakes
In addition to those adorable critter plushes, you can bring home a Tiana plush doll ready for adventure in her new outfit. For fans of that beautiful Tiana Foods tower, this figurine featuring Tiana, Naveen and a few critter friends is the perfect way to add lagniappe (that’s a little something extra!) to your shelves.
Just like Princess Tiana, you can save up to make your dreams come true with a Restaurant Fund Coffee Can. Before you start filling it up with your loose change, be sure to enjoy the sweet chocolate coins inside.
Tiana’s Foods Treats
Princess Tiana is known best for three things: entrepreneurship, community and good food. You can sample some delicious eats yourself with a collection of consumables inspired by her culinary successes, like the Mardi Gras Popcorn, the Bananas Foster Milk Chocolate Bar inspired by the New Orleans classic, green apple lollipop and more.
Bring Home the Spice of Life
When Disney Animation filmmakers were dreaming up “The Princess and the Frog,” they took inspiration from legendary New Orleans restaurateur Leah Chase for the character of Princess Tiana. As part of the merchandise for Tiana’s new attraction, Walt Disney World will be the first place outside of Dooky Chase’s Restaurant to sell spices from Leah’s family business. Speaking of spice, you can read how to bring the flavors of NOLA from Tiana’s Palace to your kitchen with our friends at Disney Eats.
Whip Up Some Magic in the Kitchen
Season your own kitchen with home goods that’ll make you say “c’est bon!” (that’s good!) followed by “bon appétit!”
Can you imagine sipping delicious chicory coffee out of this Tiana’s Foods mug? I’m particularly excited to add my favorite spices to this adorable spice rack.
Princess Tiana Details
For fans of Disney Animation’s “The Princess and the Frog,” there’s even more merchandise celebrating Tiana’s story as she brought her dreams to life. This beautiful jewelry and new signature headband reminiscent of Princess Tiana’s crown are just as pretty as a magnolia in May.
Add a little art deco inspo to your home with beautiful decor featuring patterns of lily pads and Princess Tiana herself.
Shop Before and After You Drop
Starting June 28, you can find the collections for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Disney Animation’s “The Princess and the Frog”-inspired merchandise at the Emporium at Magic Kingdom.
And, shortly after the attraction debuts, the merchandise will hop over to Critter Co-Op in Frontierland where those musical critters Tiana made friends with in the bayou like to hang out in their free time. You may even spot some of their charming makeshift instruments constructed from natural materials and some human-made found objects throughout the shop. Keep your mobile device handy, because you can use Merchandise Mobile Checkout at both the Emporium and Critter Co-Op.
You can also find some of the tasty treats at the Main Street Confectionary. Mmmm-mm! Not to mention, select items will also be available on DisneyStore.com at a later date.
I mean it when I say we’re “almost there” – I can’t wait to ride this thrilling new attraction in my fresh new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure merch.
Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for even more ways to prepare for your own trip to the bayou at Walt Disney World Resort on June 28 and later this year at Disneyland Resort … and speaking of Disneyland Resort, you can also expect to see this merchandise collection full of Tiana and her friends when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure makes its West Coast debut. C’est bon!
