Disney Announces Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Will Be Part of Disney Genie+

Hey Disney Vacationers. If you’re planning a visit to Walt Disney World this summer, get ready for a thrilling new addition that promises to sprinkle a little extra magic on your adventure. Set to open on June 28th, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is not just a new attraction—it’s an experience that will be integrated into the Disney Genie+ service. Here’s everything you need to know about enjoying this ride with a touch of convenience.

What is Disney Genie+?

Disney Genie+ is a premium service offered through the My Disney Experience app that helps you maximize your time at Disney parks. For a single purchase price, you gain access to Lightning Lane entrances at multiple attractions, which significantly cuts down on wait times. Moreover, the service includes digital downloads of select Disney PhotoPass attraction photos—making it easier than ever to preserve memories of your magical day without extra charges.

Please note Individual Lightning Lane attractions are a separate service. Check out my full guide for more information.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Disney Genie+

In a delightful turn of events, Disney has announced that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be included in the Disney Genie+ service from the day it opens. Contrary to some fan speculation, this ride will not require an Individual Lightning Lane purchase. This inclusion means that guests who opt for the Disney Genie+ “buffet” can enjoy this new attraction without any additional fees.

Virtual Queue and Standby Line Management

In addition to being part of Disney Genie+, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will utilize the Virtual Queue system. This modern approach to queue management helps streamline your experience, ensuring that you spend less time waiting in line and more time enjoying the park. It’s a win-win for everyone—less physical queueing means more freedom to explore other attractions, shop, or grab a bite to eat.

Navigating Through Disney Genie+

Purchasing the Disney Genie+ service is a straightforward process via the My Disney Experience app. On the day of your visit, you can check the app for the latest pricing and availability. The app not only serves as your gateway to the Lightning Lane entrances but also keeps you updated on your Virtual Queue status and other park experiences.

Why This Matters

The integration of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure into Disney Genie+ is more than just a convenience—it’s a statement by Disney about the value they place on this new attraction. It’s expected to be highly popular, drawing crowds not only during its opening weeks but well beyond. By including it in Disney Genie+, Disney is ensuring that as many guests as possible have the opportunity to experience this adventure with ease, along with other attractions around the Magic Kingdom.

Final Thoughts

As excitement builds for the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, it’s clear that Disney is committed to enhancing guest experiences through innovative services like Disney Genie+. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned park-goer, this new addition to Disney’s lineup is sure to offer an unforgettable adventure, seamlessly integrated into your Disney day with Genie+.
