New Characters for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Revealed

Disney has released lots of exciting information about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Today they shared more information about some of the new audio-animatronic characters that play such an important role.

What’s Happening:

  • Disney has released details of some of the new audio-animatronic characters for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
  • In the bayou, Princess Tiana is getting ready to throw a party, but there has been a mix-up between Prince Naveen and Louis, and now she needs to find herself a new band.
  • It was also revealed that plushies featuring some of these characters would be arriving at Magic Kingdom for the ride’s debut.
  • There have been all new Disney characters created for this attraction, and below is the description from Disney Parks Blog.

New Characters:

  • Byhalia the Beaver – Byhalia doesn’t just build dams; she helps build musical instruments using natural materials from the bayou. As a strong-willed percussionist, it’s safe to say Byhalia is the heartbeat of the band, as well as a natural designer and engineer.

  • Gritty the Rabbit – Always willing to dig a little deeper to help others, Gritty plays the washboard (a found automobile license plate) with a high-energy flair. It’s the perfect instrument for someone who’s often overzealous and digs to relieve her nerves.  

  • Beau the Opossum – Seeing limitless possibilities, no one finds more wonder in the bayou and the sounds of zydeco music than Beau. All she knows is beauty, especially her own. You can find her plucking out the low notes with her upright gourd bass, which of course, involves some musical dexterity with her tail.

 
  • Apollo the Raccoon – Apollo loves transforming abandoned objects into works of musical art – like his squeezebox. He’s full of energy and storytelling, especially about the objects he finds in the bayou. He’s particularly close with Rufus and appreciates Rufus’ calm demeanor.  

  • Rufus the Turtle – Rufus may be a turtle, but he’s quick to jump into rhythm with his harmonica. He’s also the first to join in on new adventures! He’s genuine and sincere but may come across as a little sarcastic at times with his habitual sighing. Rufus loves going on adventures with Apollo.

 
  • Timoléon the Otter – He’s the eldest of the band, but Timoléon’s fiddle-playing is inspired by all the ‘kids’ he spends his time around while in the bayou. When he’s not sawing out a jig, he’s famous for telling stories of days long ago about his explorations of every corner of the bayou.
