ANAHEIM, CA — Walt Disney Imagineering shared a sneak peek inside the new Tiana's Bayou Adventure attractions scheduled to open at Disneyland and Walt Disney World next year, KTLA reported.

The first look inside the ride showed Imagineers working on a scene that featured an old cabin, a magnolia tree and tall grass fields all set against a night sky.

The sneak peek aired during "Disney 100: A Century of Dreams" on ABC during a special edition of "20/20," and photos were posted by Scott Gustin, a member of the digital team at Nexstar Media Group Inc.

Disneyland and Disney World closed the Splash Mountain attractions earlier this year in order to allow for Imagineers to transform the ride into a "Princess and the Frog"-themed attraction, according to a previous Patch report.

The storyline of “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” will pick up where the 2009 animated feature left off.

“Walt Disney Imagineering is creating an original, next-chapter story for Tiana. Within the attraction queue, guests will discover that she continues to grow her business with Tiana’s Foods – an employee-owned cooperative,” the Disney Parks Blog announced in February.

“Combining her talents with those of the local community, Tiana has transformed an aging salt mine and built a beloved brand.”
