There has been a new wrinkle to the Tiana Bayou Adventure as it inches closer to completion at Magic Kingdom.

Over the last week, Disney has been making test runs on the new attraction complete with cast members or at the very least Imagineers. There is a sign-out front that says they are not open and that they are testing the ride.

Now, we have some more good news! The music which will play outside the ride and maybe inside, was blaring outside and can be heard in this video that was posted on "X"!

As you can see in the video, the scaffold towers are still in place in several locations, and on my last trip a couple of weeks ago, the walls were still in place as well. The newest video shows the rich foliage that brings the bayou to life.

The entire area will have a New Orleans-style theme to it once completed and there have been rumors of a few more buildings being added down the road but right now, fans are just hoping for the ride to open which should be sometime in the coming months. It looks like it might be ahead of schedule. Fingers crossed!

It will be interesting to see if Disney invites pass holders to an early experience as they have with other new attractions. This one, however, isn't new exactly. It is a re-imagineing of the old ride so will they bring in APs for a special ride? Will cast members get to ride the attraction prior to it being open to the public?

Another question I keep seeing pop up is whether or not Tiana herself will have a meet-and-greet in the area.

No one knows for sure just yet but we will find out soon enough!
