The latest update on the construction of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has brought a touch of royal sparkle to the scene. An iconic symbol from the beloved Disney movie ‘The Princess and the Frog’ has found its place in Magic Kingdom – Tiana’s tiara. This addition is not just a nod to the movie, but also a significant enhancement to the aesthetic appeal of the water tower, which is a central feature of the attraction.

Hidden Symbolism Pays Homage
Tiana’s tiara is more than a decorative element. The tiara has been meticulously designed, featuring two glittering star shapes that represent Ray and Evangeline, two cherished characters from the movie.
Ray, with his boundless optimism and unwavering belief in love, falls for Evangeline, who is, unbeknownst to him, the Evening Star. Despite the apparent impossibility of their relationship, Ray’s love for Evangeline never wavers. This unyielding devotion culminates in one of the most touching moments of the film when Ray, after sacrificing himself to save his friends, joins Evangeline as a star in the night sky.
The addition of the tiara to the prominent water tower feature is a significant milestone in the construction of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. It signifies progress and brings us one step closer to experiencing the magic of Tiana’s world!
Scaffolding Galore!
As the transformation of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure continues, a crucial part of the construction process has become increasingly visible – the extensive scaffolding that envelops the attraction. This scaffolding is a necessary part of the construction, as the landscape slowly transforms into a vibrant and lively Louisiana-inspired terrain, where the story of ‘The Princess and the Frog’ unfolds.
