Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is temporarily closed at Magic Kingdom for routine refurbishment, with Walt Disney World planning to reopen the attraction on Dec. 18.
The ride closed Nov. 2, meaning it will be unavailable through Dec. 17, including part of the busy holiday season. The planned reopening falls one week before Christmas.
Guests approaching the attraction are being directed by planter walls, ropes and signs stating that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is not currently operating. Brown construction walls and themed signs surround much of the ride.
WDWNT reported that water has been almost entirely drained from sections of the attraction, while brown scrim covers some tunnels. Ride vehicles have been staged in a mostly drained track area, with some water remaining beneath them. Construction workers and scaffolding were also visible near the attraction’s big drop.
