Where does Tiana's Bayou Adventure go at Disneyland Rope Drop

[@dianaduncan7252]

This is my nightmare!! I’m going to Disneyland for the first time in 14 years next week. I have my rope drop all planned but if all of these attractions are closed it’ll mess up my whole day. At least I have LL. I want to thank you for all your informative videos. They have given me confidence to do this in my 70’s!!!

[@CarolCap131]

Good luck! I was there ,at76, last year with my daughter during Easter week. David’s videos were invaluable. We used his rope drop videos strategies from both the traditional front of park and another day entering from the monorail. Actually if you have lightning lane the closed rides can be a blessing in disguise. If you have a reservation and the ride is temporarily closed you get an individual redemption pass that, depending on the ride level, lets you get on various rides at the time of your choosing.plus as soon as you get it you can also book another lightning lane. For example on Easter Sunday we ended up with 6 individual redemption passes. Four of them were from the most popular popular rides which some refer to as “golden passes” because you can use them on just about any lightning lane ride in either park and even on non lightning lanes in dCA. In our case we got to ride runaway railroad and Indiana jones twice. Hope you have a wonderful time!

I actually do appreciate the rope drop of a rough morning, it's nice to know how much you can still do if most things goes wrong 😅

[@bethanyneeley4861]

Exactly! As someone who goes once every 5ish years, seeing this is so much more valuable! When you need to pivot, having a plan is so important!

[@ilovegodzilla]

If you see Fresh Baked get out of line….get out of line. 😂

[@AndrewPA808]

Ever since the reopen after the pandemic, I’ve rope dropped every visit. Indy, space, rise and haunted mansion are always the targets at rope drop.

[@vfxman31]

We just arrived from Vancouver Canada not 2 hours ago and are planning our rope drop strategy for tomorrow. Naturally we just watched your rope drop video from a year ago but I was left wondering about Tiana’s ..and then BAM! Here it is. What timing!

[@ultimaratioregum3522]

David made the classic gambler's blunder, even more famous than going up against a Sicilian when death is on the line. When you throw the dice and win at your gamble, don't waste your winnings by throwing the dice a second time. Walk away.

4 mountain challenge is back on the menu.

[@Lilhtotheizzo84]

I wouldnt waste a dime at this park. I feel sorry for Dave because he wants the park to succeed more than Disney does.. There is ZERO reason to spend that much money and have almost every ride non operational.

[@zeroconsequences]

I didn't even think about that haha. You DEFINITELY don't want to rope drop Tiana's.. that ride has more breakdowns than Indy. If a chronic single-rider though, you'd be better off trying to rope drop Indy or Peter Pan to save your day the most time. If Indy is down, you can still wrap around to Haunted Mansion or Big Thunder well enough.

[@AndrewJimenez]

Tiana's broke down for me on my last trip literally right before boarding. We waited it out and it ended up getting on within 10 minutes. While we were waiting we chatted with the CM and I noted how many boats they had to clear before doing the test run. Turns out Tiana's (at least at the time I rode it) has 35 boats typically (I believe they said 36 is the max). So you might be able to use that and the fact that they hold 5-6 guests per boat to determine how long wait time will be. What I took away from that was that Tiana's is a pretty high capacity ride!

[@brucewayne-me7vw]

It gonna be sad to see the Christmas decoration to put away soon and wait another 12 months and the the nostalgic jingle bell, Christmas themes. Best places to go Disneyland. Also big fan on what you do and loves your videos.

What a fun rope drop variation! Gotta roll with the punches! Looking forward to my next chance on Space Mountain at Disneyland. Last two trips were busts... once it broke down repeatedly and we missed our chance. Next time it was being refurbished!

[@ainsleyperry5192]

IFreshBaked. David, when Walt had his Wednesday park management meetings, the first order of business was attraction down times. If an attraction was showing up on the list often or with the same problem he would direct management to observe it's operation for 3 weeks. He then would want a verble report after which a plan of action would be started to fix the attraction. A lot easier to do in Walts day Disneyland was closed on Monday's and Tuesday's. Bad show no matter how small had to be fixed as quickly as possible. As Walt said, "People spend a lot of money just to come here." Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@CarolCap131]

Thanks David. Greatly informative video! Curious how the strategy will change if you do a lightning lane version of the rope drop and how Tianna is affected. You remain the very best.

[@FreshBakedDisney]

lightning lane changes things quite a bit. you can either do the same thing I do here and save those LL's for a second ride, or you stack in the morning and rope drop non lightning lane rides like peter pan and the rest of fantasyland.

Cool, is Tiana single rider line open all the time? Do you enter through exit area like Splash single rider?

something to think about for a rope drop morning,now that tianas is open....doing the "4 mountain challenge"...starting with tianas,mine train,matterhorn,and then space.

My strategy is skip the 4 Single Rider rides at Rope Drop! (Space, Matterhorn, Millennium Falcon, and Tiana's)

[@MikeTerry1969]

Disneyland should give everyone a $10 credit for every major ride that is unexpectedly down on a given day. If they were giving everyone $30-$50 rebates every day I'll bet they would get a handle on their preventative maintenance very quickly.

[@CALIFORNIAsGAMER]

I rope dropped matterhorn my gf went to indiana jones it broke down as she got evacuated they let her ride it went back up in 10 min

[@patrickperalta59]

at Haunted Mansion it was funny seeing the guests hop over the lines barriacade to take a short cut.........which I thought Fresh Baked should have done at Space Mountain steping over the chains.to get thru quicker instead of the back and forth you normally do fallowing the line.....and at that time hardly anyone was in the lines.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FreshBakedDisney]

You will never catch me doing anything like that. I find it a waste of energy and effort.

[@patrickperalta59]

@@FreshBakedDisney that is fine.

[@Ceelle2]

I've said it before but I think the rope drop closures are about crowd control and not breakdowns. I also do rope drop mostly in bundles by lands or close proximity.

[@patrickperalta59]

when I went to Disneyland when it opened I would go straight to the Pirates Ride , The Haunted Mansion fallowed by ( At The Time) Splash Mountain.... I would do all 3 rides as the park opened..during that time they were not crowded...later I would go back when it was a parade time....the lines were not long do to the fact parents took their kids to see the parades during the day and night time. so getting on the rides was better at the time.................I have not been to Disneyland since I moved to Colorado in 2007.....so now i just watch videos by people who went to the park and posted on youtube....for nastolgic reasons theses days....

Is Tiana’s still breaking down regularly? Did they fix the animatronics at the end of the attraction? Last I saw they were all frozen at the finale and mama Odie at the end 😢

[@disney_expert]

They have fixed a lot of the ending animatronics I know the Tiana and Louis are back working after being broken. Lately not as many broken ones but a lot of smaller things that are not the whole animatronic broken but more like just the mouth which is still not great but they are making improvements

With the music playing and others talking around you in lines, its really hard to hear what you are saying. I am not sure if you may want to take video and then once home do voice over to try and kind of fix this or not.

[@DannyD714]

having so many major attractions down at the start of the day makes me think it's just another way disney is manipulating guests. they've already got your money, so keeping certain ride operators from starting at 8 a.m. (or whenever they clock in) saves them even more. it's no skin off their nose if you can't ride space mountain first thing in the morning. they know you'll just come back later, and maybe buy some food or merchandise in the meantime. less bang for your buck is their motto these day.

[@negative7proxy]

Does Tiana's Bayou Adventure still have single rider access? I'm not going to be happy if they got rid of it.

[@FreshBakedDisney]

it does yes.

Tbh this is an unpopular opinion. But I’m not rope dropping anything but Indiana Jones at Disneyland just because it can be down for a lot of the day so getting it out the way is the best way to go for me

[@pinballrick6031]

Just wow! I remember a time when I could run around Disneyland without worrying about whether an attraction was open or not, whether it was broken down and without worrying about all those people that can afford Lightning Lane. Everything was always open and breakdowns were practically non existent. When free Fast Pass existed it was fairly available to every guest and if attractions were closed it was for a scheduled refurbishment. Today you have to plan around attractions intentionally opening late and/or closing early, attractions breaking down, how busy Lightning Lane is and that plan must constantly be subject to adjustment based on what attractions are available throughout the day. What was closed at various times in this video? Indiana Jones, Micky’s Runaway Railway, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, The Haunted Mansion, Rise of the Resistance, Space Mountain and Big Thunder Railway. This was just in the morning, are just the attractions _mentioned_ in the video and doesn’t account for multiple closures of the same attraction. Disney should be embarrassed and ashamed of this performance. I’m surprised they don’t close the Tree House because they can’t get the buckets on the waterwheel to work. The original waterwheel and buckets _never_ had an issue. I could build a version of that contraption in my own backyard that’s more reliable. Absolutely shameful. On the whole, about two and a half hours isn't bad, but you had to work much too hard to get your “rope drop” attractions in. (At what point is an attraction no longer considered "rope drop"?) You were so gleeful that your second attempt at The Haunted Mansion went so quickly, but if you account for walking to the attraction, the time waiting in the queue before being evicted, walking to and enjoying another attraction then walking back to The Haunted Mansion and waiting in the queue again, the time spent is considerably higher. It’s likely that the occasional visitor that shows up once every four or five years would be considerably frustrated on a day with so many closures, breakdowns and time wasted dealing with broken down attractions. “I paid $206 for this?!” Unfortunately for them, what they wouldn’t know is that numerous repeated closures is common at Disneyland these days. Thankfully, even though I’ve pretty much abandoned Disney, I have Fresh Baked to occasionally help me recall fond memories even though I rarely watch at all because of what Disney has devolved in to.

Good thing the Disney Co invested millions of $$ into redoing the former Splash Mountain. That ride was very old-fashioned & unpopular. Also, unlike Tiana's, it didn't reflect a lot of creative flair or inspiration. Splash Mountain was like DCA 2001 while Tiana's is like DisneySea 2001.
