JUST ADDED! Blacksmith Forged Weathervane at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure I Walt Disney World

The next time you visit Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort, be sure to look up while passing by Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for a striking new update. Meet Master Apprentice Blacksmith Karina Roca who helped forge a custom handcrafted weathervane for Disney’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure alongside Louisiana’s master blacksmith, Darryl Reeves. Just like a good pot of gumbo, Darryl and his apprentice, Karina, have taken everything they’ve learned throughout their careers to help us tell the story of Princess Tiana and the next chapter of her journey. What sets Princess Tiana’s weathervane apart is that it’s crafting using centuries old techniques with a subtle African flair. You can feel the love Karina and Darryl have poured into this smoldering iron to shape it into a masterpiece. One of Walt Disney Imagineering’s highest priorities is to bring the authenticity of New Orleans to Disney parks and resorts to immerse Guests in this inspiring tale. When you visit Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, we want you to feel like taking a trip down the Louisiana Bayou in a way only Disney can bring to life. Guests can experience this smoldering collaboration between Walt Disney Imagineering, Darryl Reeves, and Karina Roca when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, an attraction inspired by the story from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film “The Princess and the Frog”, opens at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida in 2024.
