Tiana's Bayou Adventure

Is it worth it?

Yes, for most groups. It's mostly a gentle, music-filled float with one real thrill at the end. That mix works for families whose kids meet the posted height requirement and for adults who want a classic flume.

The splash, which everyone argues about: this ride is known for getting people wetter than they expect, and you can come off properly soaked. On a hot afternoon that feels great. On a cool morning or evening you could be damp for hours.

Skip it if anyone in your group hates drops or getting wet, or if it's chilly and you still have a long day ahead.

About Tiana's Bayou Adventure

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is Disneyland Park's log flume ride in Bayou Country. It was built in the former Splash Mountain and themed to The Princess and the Frog. Your log floats through Tiana's bayou to the music before one big final drop and splash. As of November 2026 it's one of the rides included in Lightning Lane Multi Pass.

Insider tips

• The water is doing a job, not just making a splash. It hides the track and carries the logs between show scenes. It's also treated with bromine instead of chlorine, which is gentler on skin and eyes for a ride that's designed to splash you. On the calm stretches, look over the side and notice how completely the track disappears.
• Look up in the outdoor queue. The old timber Splash Mountain fencing was replaced with purple-and-gold wrought iron, and hand-painted murals add color to the area. Most people walk past both while looking at their phones.
• Ride in the warm part of the day. Getting wet is part of the ride, so plan for it. Wear quick-dry clothes and shoes that can get soaked, and keep the cooler early-morning and evening hours for dry rides.
• Pick your line. On a normal day there are three ways in: standby, Lightning Lane Multi Pass (Tiana's is a Multi Pass ride, not a Single Pass ride) and the single rider line. As of November 2026 the single rider line exists, but it doesn't open every day, so check the sign at the entrance. If you've bought the very limited Premier Pass, which goes on sale up to 7 days ahead, Tiana's is included.
• Multi Pass strategy: you make your first selection only after you enter the park. If this ride is high on your list, make it an early pick.
• Disney hotel guests: if Tiana's is eligible that day, it's a good place to use your one free Multi Pass entry. The entry shows up at check-in, or shortly after 7:00 AM Pacific on arrival day if you used Online Check-In.
• Rider Switch lets one adult wait with a child who can't or won't ride while the rest of the group rides. Afterward, up to two people from the waiting group ride without the standby wait.

Who can ride

Height: check the posted requirement at the entrance or in the Disneyland app before you join the line.

Intensity: mostly a gentle float with one big drop at the end and a real chance of getting soaked. There are no spins or loops, so it's easier on motion-sensitive riders than spinning rides, but the final drop does give a strong stomach-lurch.

Young kids: the music and characters go over well. The drop and the splash that follows are what scare first-timers, so tell them about both before you get in line. If they still say no, use Rider Switch.
