The summer debut of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is right around the corner and Disney is dropping teasers almost weekly. While we're yet to receive an official opening date, today Walt Disney World has revealed the ride poster.
But that’s not all. Disney previously shared art of the new Zydeco-playing characters that will be featured on the ride – and this week it’s the turn of a very adorable Rara band.
A New Poster and More Critters
The poster shows Tiana proudly standing in front of the ride, surrounded by critters new and old. Eagle-eyed readers might be able to spot Mama Odie and the king of the trumpet himself, Louis the Alligator, as well as new characters Beau and Apollo.
Alongside the ride poster, Disney shared another selection of animatronic critters joining Tiana for a Mardis Gras celebration. These new characters include Octavia and Pawpaw the Bobcat, a grandfather–daughter duo who play the vaksin, a single-note horn instrument popular in Rara music.
Then there’s the Louisiana Black Bear family, Claude, Bernadette, and baby Sebastián, who love to splash around in the bayou and forage in the forest. Claude and Bernadette play the horn, while Sebastián is a skilled drummer. Finally, Phina the Gray Fox is another enthusiastic drummer who loves creating exciting projects with her friends.
These animatronics will play Rara music, a traditional Haitian genre that is used in street processions and also thrived in the New Orleans music scene. Take a look at them in the promotional image below.
It seems like the announcements will continue (and we're not complaining!) Disney teased that the final group of new critters will be revealed next week.
