Walt Disney World has a new collection of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure merchandise featuring “The Princess and the Frog” artwork by New Orleans artist Sharika Mahdi.
Walt Disney Imagineering commissioned Sharika Mahdi to create four original paintings to inspire them as they developed Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The piece featured on this merchandise was the first painting revealed back in 2021. We found the merchandise in Critter Co-Op at Magic Kingdom. The tote bag was also in World of Disney at Disney Springs.
Tiana Print – $45
The piece features Tiana in her green lilypad dress, with highlights of purple, next to a giant lily flower. Behind her is Naveen in his green outfit. In the background is a colorful building with cutlery on the door and food to the sides of the entrance. Charlotte La Bouff and Tiana’s mother, Eudora, are pictured next to a fountain. Louis the alligator is with a group of musical critters. A pair of trees are on the edges of the piece.
The art print comes in a white matte frame with a purple border.
Tote Bag – $29.99
The artwork is printed on both sides of this tote bag. It has pink handles with contrast white stitching.
The critters featured in the artwork are not the same as the original characters created for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The ride’s critters were not revealed when Mahdi created this work.
Tiana has a large beaded necklace, earrings, and a tiara. Naveen holds Mardi Gras beads in his hands.
Lottie is also catching Mardi Gras beads.
The interior lining of the tote is the same bright pink as the straps. It has a magnetic snap closure. There’s a small zip pocket inside.
Throw Blanket – $69.99
The throw comes wrapped in a bright pink ribbon. It features the artwork on one side and a pink back.
It’s 60 in. x 50 in. or 152 cm x 127 cm. The tags of each piece of merchandise features Mahdi’s signature.
Notebook – $22.99
Half of the art is printed on the front of this notebook and the other half is printed on the back.
It has blank white pages and a pink ribbon bookmark.
T-shirt – $39.99
The short-sleeved t-shirt doesn’t feature the whole artwork, but zooms in on the characters. Tiana and Naveen are on the front. Louis, Lottie, and Eudora are on the back. The culinary building is on one sleeve.
Coasters – $29.99
This set includes six coasters, each featuring a different square of the art. They come wrapped in pink ribbon.
The tag shows how the full designs of the coasters. They can be arranged to create nearly the full piece.
The bottoms are gray with Mahdi’s signature and Disney logos printed in gold.
A limited edition Tiana doll inspired by Tiana’s Bayou Adventure was recently released. Check out more Tiana’s Bayou Adventure merchandise from Walt Disney World.

I’m gonna predict that this doesn’t sell well. Tiana looks old in this animation, like she could be Tiana’s mother. LOL. I would have asked the artist to make her look a lot more youthful. My 2 cents.
