The final Tiana animatronic on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland has been broken for over a month.
Broken Tiana Animatronic
The broken Audio-Animatronic is in the finale scene, standing on the patio of her New Orleans house with the band of critters. While Tiana’s eyes and mouth still move — appearing to sing the attraction’s song “Special Spice” — she has been standing stubbornly straight with stiff arms since at least December 13, 2024. When we checked on her on January 14, 2025, there had been no change.
The animatronic is usually able to sway and move her arms in a wide range of motion. Our photos below show some of that range, or you can see the animatronic in action in our ride POV at the bottom of this article.
After a few weeks of previews, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure officially opened to all Disneyland guests on November 15, 2024. It opened at Magic Kingdom in Florida on June 28.
Check out our Tiana’s Bayou Adventure queue tour and scene-by-scene comparison to Splash Mountain, which it replaced.
