More Critters & Poster Revealed for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom

More Critters & Poster Revealed for Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom tianas-bayou-adventure-poster-cropped-02

Last week, Disney introduced us to the critters who play Zydeco music and will be joining Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Today, we’re taking a look at characters who play Rara, another musical tradition. Frequently found at festivals and street processions in Haiti, Rara is part of the musical history and melting pot of New Orleans. The genre includes unique instruments with beautiful, distinctive sounds.



Here are the Rara musicians you’ll discover as you travel further down the bayou!

Octavia the Bobcat – Octavia plays the vaksin, a single-note horn instrument popular in Rara music. She’s an adventurous bobcat kitten, and she loves climbing and hanging out in trees almost as much as she loves performing. This daredevil almost never gets scared.

Pawpaw the Bobcat – Not only is Pawpaw Octavia’s devoted grandfather, but he also taught her how to play the vaksin! Pawpaw lives to make Octavia smile and has the view that everything has a way of working itself out – he’s seen it all but isn’t jaded.

Claude the Louisiana Black Bear – Claude is a salt of the earth kind of bear (or, as they say in the bayou, “salt of the mound”) who plays his horn along with the other members of his family. He’s a tinkerer who loves to create with things found in the forest, and is frequently funny without intending to be, especially when it comes to his home-grown creations.

Bernadette the Louisiana Black Bear – Bernadette loves to enjoy life, from splashing in the waters of her bayou home with her cub, Sebastián, to playing the horn with her mate, Claude. She’s a clear thinker and is warm and supportive. Bernadette loves to sink into the bayou waters and munch on plants (so long as Sebastián is clearly within sight).

Sebastián the Louisiana Black Bear – Though he’s definitely a “mama’s cub,” Sebastián charted his own musical course as a drummer, despite his parents being devoted horn players. He’s happy to follow his friend Octavia’s adventurous lead as they explore and play, and is fascinated with the small details in the bayou, like the insects and mushrooms.

Phina the Gray Fox – Phina’s enthusiasm extends beyond her drumming, as she’s constantly thinking of new ideas with optimism and energy! This imaginative fox is continually starting new projects with excitement, and her friends accept and celebrate her unique thinking.


Meet these new friends not only as Audio-Animatronics figures throughout the attraction but also spot them on the brand-new Walt Disney World attraction poster seen below! Disney says there are a few more critters yet to be unveiled next week, so stay tuned!
