The enchantment of the bayou will illuminate with a celebration during Mardi Gras season hosted by Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen. It picks up where the movie last left off: with the kiss.

In addition, Mama Odie will reprise her role as the catalyst of that magic. Mama Odie will joke with guests along their journey after a special display of her magic. The two-hundred-year-old Bayou Fairy Godmother, with her eccentric belongings and “seeing eye snake,” Juju, is comically eccentric, yet wise and all-knowing, throughout the adventure.

In New Orleans, you’ll spot the handcrafted metalwork by Darryl, a third generation master blacksmith. Whether it’s historic wrought iron fences or intricately designed custom pieces, his work is displayed across the city and around the world. He has over 50 years of service to his craft! And Disney is having Darryl create one of the high points of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the iconic weathervane.

I take metal and do anything I want with it. To have a free hand to design and fabricate the weathervane for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure…that’s an honor.

Trust me, I can wait to see 60-plus animatronics reduced to six or so by cheapo "screens"!
