Is Magic Kingdom’s NEWEST merchandise location DELAYED?
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Pin
Disney is currently dropping all kinds of news about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. In recent days, they’ve revealed the highly anticipated ride’s opening date, how Annual Passholder previews will work, and that Tiana’s will utilize both a virtual queue and Lightning Lane at opening. However, there was also a bit of merchandise news that caught our eye.
Disney has announced that new merchandise for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be in Magic Kingdom starting on June 28th (the ride’s opening day). That’s not much of a surprise, but what IS a little bit unusual is that the new merchandise will NOT initially be located at the two new themed stores opening with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Disney said that ride merch and other Princess and the Frog-inspired souvenirs will be available at the Emporium — Magic Kingdom’s big store on Main Street, U.S.A. Their announcement stated, “Shortly after the attraction debuts, the merchandise will hop over to Critter Co-Op in Frontierland.” The announcement did not mention Tiana’s Bayou General — the other themed souvenir shop.
Critter Co-Op
The fact that they stressed availability on Main Street’s Emporium combined with saying that merchandise will be available at Critter Co-Op “shortly after the attraction debuts” would seem to imply that the new merchandise locations either will not be ready to open with the attraction, OR at the very least Disney will not open them initially, possibly as a crowd control measure.

Either way, a massive influx of Tiana’s merchandise is coming to Magic Kingdom. We’ve seen previews of some of it in the last few months, and Disney has further specified that more details about the new merchandise collections coming as part of this ride’s opening celebration will be announced soon.
Ah the classics
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure merchandise is about to take over the Magic Kingdom in conjunction with the new attraction, just not where we thought it would… at least initially it seems.
We can’t wait to go down the bayou with Tiana and her friends. If you’re excited, too, make sure to check out our Tiana’s Bayou Adventure tee in our online DFB store!
