We’ve got peppers! While visiting Magic Kingdom, we stopped to check on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure construction and found that Tiana’s pepper garden was starting to take shape. In addition, more flowers have been added to various parts of the facade. Let’s take a look.
Tiana’s Pepper Garden
An outdoor portion of the attraction that was previously a garden when the attraction was Splash Mountain will continue the tradition, according to the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure scale model unveiled back at the 2022 D23 Expo. Here’s a closer look.
As we can see, it looks like peppers will be the crop of choice, which makes sense given the hot sauce backstory for the attraction.
Complete with a boutique farm and both a working and teaching kitchen, Tiana’s Foods is where Tiana and her colleagues create all sorts of new products that they are bringing to the world, including a line of original hot sauces.
Here’s a closer look at the garden area, which appears to have purple peppers. A closer look appears to show that they are Purple Cayenne, but its hard to be sure from some 175′ away. It looks like there are multiple pyramid trellises along the fence line. Here’s a closer look!
Vibrant Flowers Added to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
In addition to the peppers, we can see that more vibrant flowers have been added to areas of the attraction, including the garden area and the base of the water tower.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Backstory
Princess Tiana is the proud daughter of Eudora and James. Eudora influenced Tiana’s entrepreneurial spirit, while James instilled a deep passion for cooking. With its mouthwatering menu, exceptional entertainment, and warmhearted hospitality, Tiana’s Palace quickly became a treasured meeting place in New Orleans. Princess Tiana used her newfound success to support surrounding neighborhoods, which led to her role as a community leader.
From the success of her restaurant, Tiana expanded her business into an empire thanks to the entrepreneurial drive she got from her mother. Tiana opened Tiana’s Foods – an employee-owned cooperative. The endeavor began when Tiana purchased the salt mine and the area surrounding the large salt dome it operated from. With the help of her mother Eudora, Naveen, Louis and fellow owners of the cooperative, Tiana revived the old salt mine and the surrounding land, growing a wide array of vegetables, herbs and spices for her recipes.
This multi-faceted enterprise has turned the aging salt mine into a space that has come alive. Complete with a boutique farm and both a working and teaching kitchen, Tiana’s Foods is where Tiana and her colleagues create all sorts of new products that they are bringing to the world, including a line of original hot sauces.
With Tiana’s Foods established, the story of the attraction will take place after the final kiss as Naveen and Louis join Tiana on her latest adventure, hosting a one-of-a-kind Mardi Gras celebration where everyone is welcome.
Tiana wants to give a big thanks to her family and friends and the entire community for all the support they’ve given her by throwing an amazing party during Mardi Gras season. When it turns out there’s been a bit of a mix-up with the party preparations, Tiana invites us to meet her at Tiana’s Foods to help with the missing ingredient for the party.
When we arrive, we may see that Tiana spruced up the company’s facilities with vibrant art from local artists. Food for the party is being prepared and beignets are being loaded into crates for the celebration. All kinds of preparations are underway for the journey into the bayou with Tiana, along with new and familiar friends from the animated film.
