If you are visiting Walt Disney World in the next couple of weeks, please read this article and plan your day at the Magic Kingdom accordingly. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will close early on select nights from late January through early February.
When is Tiana’s Bayou Adventure closing early?
The ride will close early on the following nights.
- January 30 it closes at 4:30 PM.
- January 23, 27, and 29, it closes at 6 PM.
- February 3, 5, and 6, it closes at 6 PM.
Why is the attraction closing early?
It’s likely for maintenance. Usually, Splash Mountain shuts down for a short refurbishment in January or February. Since the reopened Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a new attraction and a draw for Lightning Lane upcharges, Disney doesn’t want to shut it down. So instead, they will close it a few hours early each night.
This is good news if you want a chance to ride it during those days. However, it likely means it’s going to be harder to get that chance.
What is Tiana’s Bayou Adventure?

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is the attraction that replaced Splash Mountain. Same ride system, but a retheme.
“Embark on a thrilling journey with Tiana and jazz-loving alligator Louis as they traverse winding waterways to find critter musicians who can jam out and entertain at Tiana’s southern soiree.
This musical adventure crescendos with a 50-foot drop that leads you to the grandest celebration this side of the Mississippi during Mardi Gras season!”
