ANAHEIM, Calif.—Disneyland’s classic Splash Mountain will be known as “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” when it reopens, officials announced during the ESSENCE Festival of Culture in New Orleans on July 1.
The revamped attraction was named after Disney’s animated film “The Princess and the Frog,” which was also set in New Orleans and takes place in the year 1926.
