Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is now open at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. This attraction takes guests on an adventure that takes place a year after the events of The Princess and the Frog. It is a time when Tiana has come together with locals to revive an old salt mine and the surrounding land in order to grow an array of vegetables, herbs, and spices for her recipes. Now, it is time for a special Mardi Gras celebration with the local community. One thing is missing however, the music! Guests join Tiana and her jazz loving alligator pal Louis on an adventure through the bayou looking for musicians for this party.
On the day that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened, the soundtrack for the attraction was also released on music streaming services. This includes services like Spotify, Apple Music, and the like. This soundtrack includes original music for the attraction and also some recognizable jazz classics. There are also some tunes that will be recognizable from the movie as well!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Soundtrack
As is evident by the length of this album, music plays a very important role in this attraction and the story it tells. Disney went to great lengths to bring in great musicians and even have new songs written. This includes Special Spice, the song that is performed at the climax of the attraction. It was written by Grammy winner PJ Morton. Disney Legend Anika Noni Rose said about the song, “It’s fun. It’s joyous. The song itself is a bop, if I may say so myself! And I think it’s going to permeate kids and adults. They will have fun with it, they will feel it, and they will leave with it—which is what you want for music. You want it to be something that moves people.”
