Tiana’s Palace continues to get closer to opening at the Disneyland Resort. Once it does open, guests will be immersed in the world of The Princess and the Frog when visiting New Orleans Square at Disneyland. This restaurant will be the continuation of Tiana’s story and let guests be a part of it. Ahead of its opening, things continue to look better and better.
On Sunday, August 6, 2023, Daps Magic team member Angela stopped by Disneyland to check out the progress of Tiana’s Palace and give an in-depth look at how the transformation from French Market is going. Check out the details in the form of video during the day and night and photos below and see how this beautiful project is progressing.
Earlier this year, Disney shared the following description of Tiana’s Palace:
Tiana’s Palace will be the newest restaurant on Orleans Street. Within its peach-colored walls and fancy green wrought-iron balconies, you’ll find elegant fixtures and appointments reminiscent of Tiana’s life and friendships. The new Tiana’s Palace will have much of the same pinch of pizzazz and flair as the restaurant from the film, offering authentic New Orleans flavors inspired by Tiana’s friends and adventures in this quick-service style restaurant. While Tiana’s Palace is not a character dining location, guests may find Tiana in New Orleans Square.
The menu at Tiana’s Palace will expand on many of the current favorites served in the location, explore seasonal flavors and, of course, offer some New Orleans classics. Tiana’s Palace is sure to be a gathering place for friends and family to enjoy great food and celebrate together, just like Tiana and her father James dreamed of.
Disney Imagineers are partnering with Disney Animation artists from the original film to bring this story to life at Disneyland park. In fact, the film designers took inspiration from the exterior of the original French Market Restaurant in New Orleans Square when designing Tiana’s Palace for the movie, so this is a long-dreamt homecoming.
