BREAKING! Splash Mountain CLOSING DATE Announced for Disney World

December 02, 2022 ,

Mark your calendars folks, Splash Mountain will be closing SOON in Disney World!

Splash Mountain

Splash Mountain is set to be completely reimagined as a Princess and the Frog attraction. We’ve already seen some concept art of what some scenes in the new ride will look like, and learned about some of the characters coming to the ride. But if you’ve been wondering just when Splash Mountain will close to be transformed, we’ve FINALLY got an answer!

Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom (Walt Disney World) will be CLOSING on January 23rd, 2023. To be clear, the ride’s last operating day will be January 22nd, it will then be CLOSED starting January 23rd. The ride will be unavailable for a while as it gets its new theme. The ride is set to reopen as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in late 2024. No exact reopening date has been announced yet.

Keep in mind that Splash Mountain in Disneyland will also be closing at some point in the future and will be transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and will reopen in late 2024. Disney has not, however, announced when Splash Mountain will be closing in Disneyland for this transformation. An update is set to be shared later.

Those who LOVED the cast of the Princess and the Frog movie will be thrilled to know that many members of the original cast will be returning to voice their characters for this attraction. Specifically, Bruno Campos will return as Prince Naveen, Michael Leon Wooley will once again voice Louis, Jenifer Lewis will be back as Mama Odie, and Anika Noni Rose will be voicing Princess Tiana again.

They’re Coming Back!

In Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, we’ll be taken back to the year 1927, where Tiana is hosting a party for the people of New Orleans. But she’s missing a very special ingredient and she needs our help to find it.

 

During the ride, we’ll get to see Tiana in a NEW outfit and with a special hairstyle. Imagineers worked on a look that was both culturally and period-appropriate. Her hair pays homage to African American women during the era of her movie and is pressed into Marcel waves. Her outfit keeps the signature yellow and green color palette of her character, but colors have been toned down a bit. And there are all kinds of little details, like embroidery on her collar.

Tiana!

Here’s a peek at what the ride will look like in the dark…

WOW!

…and a look at the mist element coming to the ride.

 

We got a detailed look at the model for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure during the D23 Expo and have taken an in-depth look at it.
