I tried to ask if it was reopening as there were quite a few people milling about back there, but I couldn’t get anyone’s attention. I asked a CM when we checked out, but she had been reassigned to the store for the day and didn’t know anything about it.
Yeah it went away as fast as it showed up. Oh well. Dare to dream.
Lol. I read that as Park Marker to be named Chairman…
I’m excited about this! Maybe Disney will follow?!
The pick a Pearl area was moved there a while back before covid and it just hasn’t reopened, I think they had it behind a faux wall for a bit, but it has looked like that for a while. The area that has the fancy Pearl jewelry shop has become a little Japanese artifact museum area.
Yep, we saw that too; that was nice.
I still think adding Tiana's Palace to Port Orleans is a no-brainer. Wish they would steal the idea.Tiana’s Palace Coming to Disneyland Park Later this Year
As we initially shared at D23 Expo, we are excited for the opportunity to tell even more Tiana stories in New Orleans Square. We recently opened Eudora’s Chic Boutique Featuring Tiana’s Gourmet Secrets, a new retail shop that Tiana opened with her mother, Eudora. Up next will be Tiana’s Palace later this year, followed by Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the thrilling attraction that will open in Disneyland park in 2024.
Tiana’s Palace will be the newest restaurant on Orleans Street. Within its peach-colored walls and fancy green wrought-iron balconies, you’ll find elegant fixtures and appointments reminiscent of Tiana’s life and friendships. The new Tiana’s Palace will have much of the same pinch of pizzazz and flair as the restaurant from the film, offering authentic New Orleans flavors inspired by Tiana’s friends and adventures in this quick-service style restaurant. While Tiana’s Palace is not a character dining location, guests may find Tiana in New Orleans Square.
The menu at Tiana’s Palace will expand on many of the current favorites served in the location, explore seasonal flavors and, of course, offer some New Orleans classics. Tiana’s Palace is sure to be a gathering place for friends and family to enjoy great food and celebrate together, just like Tiana and her father James dreamed of.
Disney Imagineers are partnering with Disney Animation artists from the original film to bring this story to life at Disneyland park. In fact, the film designers took inspiration from the exterior of the original French Market Restaurant in New Orleans Square when designing Tiana’s Palace for the movie, so this is a long-dreamt homecoming.
To begin this work, French Market Restaurant (and Mint Julep Bar) will be closed beginning February 17, 2023, and will reopen as Tiana’s Palace (alongside Mint Julep Bar with its famous mint juleps and Mickey beignets) later in the year.
Oh no! Does this mean no beignets for my March trip?!?!?!Tiana’s Palace Coming to Disneyland Park Later this Year

this is my first time going for the festival of the arts, do the step in photo ops have a photo pass photographer or is it all use your own camera?
There is usually a photo pass photographer there
These were all over the place on Tuesday, and people were actively taking pics - like they weren’t blocked off or anything. I tried to get DS to jump in one, but he hadn’t had enough liquid libations at that point.
awesome thanks!!
