Walt Disney World Resort has revealed details surrounding its virtual queue (plus Genie+ option), along with Passholder and Disney Vacation Club preview dates for Magic Kingdom Park’s newest attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Virtual Queue and Genie+ for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
When Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens at Magic Kingdom on June 28, 2024, Disney World has revealed they will offer two ways for all park guests to experience the Splash Mountain replacement.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will use a virtual queue when it opens on June 28, much like what guests are used to experiencing with TRON: Lightcylce Run. However, the ride will also be included as a Lightning Lane entrance in Disney Genie+ service.
The virtual queue system isn’t expected to stick around long. According to reports: “While a standby queue will not be available during the attraction’s initial opening days, we expect to open a standby queue soon after the attraction’s opening.”
Disney World Announces Passholder Preview Dates for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Select Walt Disney World guests will get to ride Magic Kingdom’s newest attraction before thousands of crowds descend upon Tiana’s Bay0u Adventure this summer. Here’s what you need to know.
Disney has unveiled the early preview dates for Annual Passholders to experience Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

Park Reservations & Virtual Queue Requirements A virtual queue system will be implemented for the previews. Here’s how it will work:
- Park Reservation: First, make a park reservation for Magic Kingdom on one of the preview dates to be eligible to join the 7:00 a.m. virtual queue that day. Alternatively, you can make a park reservation for any other theme park on a preview date to join the 1:00 p.m. virtual queue.

This story is a non-sequitur, there’s no days available for any previews must have been gone in the first few minutes because I couldn’t make a single reservation for magic kingdom on any of the preview days from the moment Disney sent me the email.
