Tiana’s Palace restaurant opening in late 2023 at Disneyland

Disneyland will be expanding its theming of “The Princess and the Frog” into New Orleans Square at Disneyland by transforming the French Market Restaurant into Tiana’s Palace.

Disneyland recently opened Eudora’s Chic Boutique Featuring Tiana’s Gourmet Secrets, a new retail shop that Tiana opened with her mother, Eudora. As of now, no announcement has yet been made on when Splash Mountain at Disneyland will be closing for its retheming into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure that is expected to open in 2024.

The changeover is perfect for Disneyland and having a restauarant people can go to after riding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is something all at Walt Disney World have been asking for as well.

To begin this work, French Market Restaurant (and Mint Julep Bar) will be closed beginning Feb. 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. 

Tiana’s Palace, with its peach-colored walls and fancy green wrought-iron balconies, will have 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.
