S2 E22: Tiana's Other Bayou Adventure (Spoiler Free)
The Idiots are splashing into a fresh reimagining of "Tiana’s Bayou Adventure" at Magic Kingdom and soon-to-open in Disneyland. Drawing inspiration from our own June trip down the bayou, we’re unveiling a reimagined storyline that sidesteps spoilers and avoids direct comparisons to the current ride. Stephen leads the discussion, proposing an alternative concept that digs a little deeper into the world of The Princess and the Frog, focusing on an untold chapter that bridges the gap between Tiana and Naveen’s wedding and the grand opening of Tiana’s Palace.
This reimagined attraction offers a fresh perspective, embracing the spirit of The Princess and the Frog while introducing new, magical moments for guests to experience.
