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.

Passholder Preview Dates: The previews will be held at Magic Kingdom on June 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 20.

Park Reservations & Virtual Queue Requirements A virtual queue system will be implemented for the previews. Here’s how it will work:

  1. 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.
  2. Virtual Queue: On the day of your reservation, use the My Disney Experience app to join the virtual queue. There will be two opportunities to join each day:
    • 7:00 a.m. Virtual Queue: Available to Passholders with a reservation for Magic Kingdom that day.
    • 1:00 p.m. Virtual Queue: Available to Passholders with a reservation for any theme park that day. Passholders must enter the reserved park before visiting Magic Kingdom. Alternatively, on June 13, 14, 17, 18, or 20, Passholders can enter Magic Kingdom after 2:00 p.m. without a reservation.

Since first stepping inside the Magic Kingdom at nine years old, I knew I was destined to be a theme Park enthusiast. Although I consider myself a theme Park junkie, I still have much to learn and discover about Disney. Universal Orlando Resort has my heart; being an Annual Passholder means visiting my favorite places on Earth when possible! When I’m not writing about Disney, Universal, or entertainment news, you’ll find me cruising on my motorcycle, hiking throughout my local metro parks, or spending quality time with my girlfriend, family, or friends.

  1. 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.
