Exploring Critter Country – Disneyland

Disneyland is an excellent vacation destination for families and people of all ages who enjoy experiencing Disney magic. Being the first Disney park ever created, Disneyland holds a special place in guests’ hearts and has historical attractions that date back to 1955 that you can’t experience anywhere else. Guests traveling to Disneyland should begin to familiarize themselves with its 9 distinct lands in order to make the most of their trip and figure out what is on their “must do” list. Disneyland is home to Frontierland, Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Mainstreet USA, Critter Country, New Orleans Square, Mickey’s Toontown, and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Join us as we explore Critter Country- soon to be renamed Bayou Country, together!

Attractions

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (Coming Soon)- Opening on November 15th of 2024, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a log flume adventure through the bayou. Guests join Tiana as she journeys to find a band for the big celebration at her restaurant. Go over drops and into tunnels to find critters that can play. Audio-animatronics of Tiana and other characters from the film are seen throughout, and music both classic and new is played. Guests should expect to get wet during this adventure!

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh- Guests join Winnie the Pooh and friends as they explore scenes from the classic 1977 film: The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. This ride is suitable for guests of all ages and heights as they bounce along with Tigger, experience a rather blustery day, and watch the Hefalumps come to life in Pooh’s dream.

Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes– Guests have the opportunity to climb aboard a real, free-floating canoe and paddle through the Rivers of America. This attraction is unique because guests get to make the magic happen! There is no track or motor. This tour of Rivers of America follows the same path as the Columbia and Mark Twain.
