Are there any Princess and the Frog things to do or see? I know Tiana and Naveen meet in MK, but is there anything else? My daughter is obsessed with that movie, but it doesn't seem to be very prominent in the parks.

I think that is about it!!
 
Princess and the Frog is my favorite, and Tiana is my favorite princess! I wish the movie was represented more in WDW, but I think the meet and greet is the only option. Also, are you staying on site? I'm sure you're aware, but Port Orleans resort has Princess and the Frog themed rooms! Or, even if you're not staying on site, it may be a nice resort to visit if your daughter likes the Bayou theme.
 

The meet and greet is basically it right now

Tiana and Naveen are in FoF, Tiana is in Fantasmic! and scenes from the movie are briefly (very briefly <30 seconds) in Celebrate the Magic and Fantasmic!

Starting in June, the new stage show will feature Tiana, Naveen, and Louis (along with characters from Frozen and Tangled)
 
We have met both Tiana and Naveen in MK. They spent a nice amount of time with each of my granddaughters. They talked about New Orleans, cooking, recipes and just being a smart young lady. They were both wonderful! It was probably more time than we spent with any of the other princesses, except Merida. My girls loved every minute!
 
Tiana is also my fave princess; and the movie has some of the best music. PatF is seriously underrepresented in the parks. Enough Frozen! I'd love to see a Tiana's Place restaurant at the very least.

My favorite Disney movie to date. Favorite princess and favorite comic relief (Raymond).

I agree we need more Princess and the Frog!
 
POFQ seems to run Princess and the Frog pretty regularly as one of their evening outdoor movies.

I met Tiana & Naveen in 2013, and just Tiana in 2015. They were great both times. Tiana is my favorite m&g Princess; both times she was so chatty and friendly.
 
Although there is really only a meet for these characters, and their meeting times are sporadic, I would say it is one of the best in WDW. Right up there with Merida, Peter Pan, Stitch and Gaston!
 
Here's my armchair Imagineering for "Tiana's Bayou Adventure." Put it next to the Haunted Mansion, part of Liberty Square but further up the banks of the Rivers of America (the waterfront part of the current HM queue would be converted to a general walkway, and a new queue for HM would need to be put in, or a boardwalk added similar to what you see in Frontierland). The themeing fits in with the vibe of that north end of LS, and it fits perfectly with the Mississippi vibe, as New Orleans is the mouth of the Mississippi.

Trackless technology. Think Pooh's Honey Hunt or Ratatouille. Round 'leaf' cars with two rows of seats, like your standard dark ride. Four to five cars at a time go through the attraction.

First room is a smaller 'holding' room (cars don't move) with jazz music playing, the sun setting over New Orleans. The door opens and we are in the bayou, drifting between tall trees in this medium-sized room while Tiana and Naveen sing with Louis about being human again as the sun continues to set. The doors open on the other end and the cars stop in another 'holding' room where the sun finishes setting and Ray's family begins to fill the room with their song and light. The lights lead the way into the next room, a long hallway where the song continues and the lights weave their way to the next room. Uh oh! The voodoo shadows capture Naveen in the third 'holding' room, which then spills out into a bayou battleground! Our cars zoom into the attraction's largest room. A variation of "Friends on the Other Side" plays as Facilier holds court in the dark swamps. The 'shadows' fly around the room. Points of interest the car might visit include Facilier offering his hand to us to shake, the masks chanting from a small shrine Facilier has built in the swamp, a Louis animatronic nervously playing trumpet to ward off the spirits, an effect where a shadow seems to 'infect' one of the people in the car. When all seems lost, Ray's family comes and shines light in the room, helped by Mama Odie! The shadows are defeated and our cars are ushered out of the room, now bathed in light, to Mama Odie's sunlit house. In this hallway, the colored bottles throw beautiful multi-colored lights onto every surface as Mama tells us we need to dig a little deeper to find that we've got what we need already! In the final small room, Mama Odie weds Tiana and Naveen as the sun rises over the bayou, turning them human again. The sun is indeed rising, but not so much that we can't still see two bright stars twinkling down on us as we go through the last set of doors in our cars which lead us to the unloading dock.
 
I am on record as demanding a Tiana's Palace (with a M&G similar to Beast at BOG for Tiana and Naveen), and a Snuggly Ducking (because Punz deserves more than a potty; it could serve all-day skillet breakfasts because I think that MK lacks an all-day breakfast restaurant is an oversight).

IMAGINEERS, CALL ME. I GOT IDEAS HERE.
 
The Royal Rooms at POR are truly the way to go for your DD. If you can afford to stay there, I would go for it.

Whether you stay there or not, you can still create a special experience for your daughter. She knows that Tiana lives in New Orleans and makes beignets. Take your daughter to POFQ and give her a "Grand Tour" of the resort, explaining that is where Tiana lives and perhaps make up some cool stories about Tiana and New Orleans. (You didn't tell us how old your DD is- you can make whatever you do age appropriate). Walk up and down the tree-lined streets and have some beignets- just like the ones Tiana is famous for. Maybe have some of Tiana's gumbo. Walk along the river over to POR (if you don't stay there). Talk about the river and bayou. Really get into the theme of the whole thing. Walk around or rent a bike and listen to the music from the bayou. You could really make it pretty elaborate with a little imagination. A Princess and the Frog afternoon- way down in New Orleans.

Oh! If she is fairly young, she could even wear a Tiana dress and pretend she is Tiana and she is right at home.
 
They really need to open up a Tiana's Place. That would be so cute!
My daughter has been saying that too! She loves Tiana! I'm planning a surprise trip for her 16th birthday. We're going to stay at POFQ so that she can feel like she's in New Orleans and eat beignets.

Very nice. Let's make it boats instead of cars. A true swamp tour. And Ray must sing, "Evangeline."
 
I wish there was a restaurant, but really, they are represented just slightly less than some of the other characters - and that's just because PatF was a flop, by Disney standards. Obviously merchandising isn't, so they have a presence in the parks as a result. Rapunzel doesn't have a lot more - just the bathroom with the tower theme. And people say enough Frozen, but that will only have a ride in addition to the meet and greets - which is expected because of the popularity. Disney is not stupid about their marketing.

Maybe when Tiana gets to be closer to Ariel and Belle's ages they will expand her M&G's and add in some type of experience (similar to Storytelling with Belle) to reflect her classic status.

5 stars, would ride again.
