It’s finally OK to sing “Almost There” when it comes to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the new ride coming to Walt Disney World. The opening day for the log ride, an attraction taking the place of Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom, will be June 28.
Disney announced that during “American Idol” on Sunday night, although news had slipped out earlier in the day via an official Disney website’s online post that was removed.
The short reveal by “Idol” host Ryan Seacrest came after a performance of “Dig a Little Deeper” by Jenifer Lewis, who voiced Mama Odie in “The Princess and the Frog,” with Terence Blanchard on trumpet. Also on stage: a costumed Louis character from the film.
