Tiana’s Bayou Adventure souvenir

[neverlandsky]

Just a heads up. On Tiana’s you’ll get soaked. Not just wet. You’ll get soaked. Besides ponchos bring ear plugs or make sure your ears are 100% covered.

Water got into my ears clogging them. Had to jump up and down to get the water out of my ears at ride exit.

It was Mama Odie’s drop that was nightmarish bad and the most soaking drop where water went into both my ears.

Now battling a double ear infection. Which I haven’t had since 1998.

Tiana’s at WDW was so much nicer! Husband will never ride DL version again and I was at first saying oh it’s no big deal. It’s part of the fun. Now I’ve changed my tune. Never again will I ride it.

Hope this helps others.

It really depends. I’ve been on the ride numerous times and walked away dry every time. But then last week I was the only person in the log, sitting in the front, and got soaked. So soaked that when I got home, after hanging around the park a few hours, I could ring out my hoodie, shirt and underwear. It took a couple days for my shoes to dry, too. Surprisingly it wasn’t the last drop that caused it - I didn’t get wet from that - but the one before it.

A poncho wouldn’t have helped. As long as the weather is cold, I won’t go on it. Getting wet doesn’t bother me, but I can’t stand to have my feet soaked.

I even think twice about Pirates sometimes, walking around with a wet butt is not that fun.

i think as long as the weight is distributed evenly, you’re fine. Knott’s has a similar ride (that Splash Mountain was modeled after) and employees are picky about who sits where. Disney doesn’t care.

Oh man! That’s terrible! Sorry

I’ve been massively soaked on there (splash not Tiana’s but same/same)

It’s that drop right when you enter the mountain and another one that’s within…it was like a huge wave cascading over my whole body

So true. It’s a mini splash of wet butt.

We brought ponchos and flip flops / sandals for our whole party and it worked out pretty well this last weekend. Unfortunately with how tall I am, the poncho wasn’t quite long enough so my jeans got fairly soaked but ended up drying after a few hours. Our main concern was feet and switching to sandals before riding and then going back to nice dry shoes was perfect.

ugh- That happened to me last time. Very uncomfortable! It took my pants forever to dry.

OP- I'm so sorry about your ear infection! I hope it heals quickly.

Dudley Do Right at Universal is the same way. I've seen team members rearrange guests so that the weight in the kayak is evenly distributed. I'm on the smaller size so I'm placed in the front and get completely obliterated. It's like taking a shower with your clothes on.

I remember Splash in DL being similar but I haven't been on Tiana so can't comment on that.
