On Friday, 6 November, Tiana's Showboat Jubilee debuted at the Disneyland Resort.
Some of us DISers took the opportunity to watch it yesterday.
First, we visited Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen. They are in Angel's Court in New Orleans (how appropriate), and are in a very beautiful setting for a meet and greet.
The first picture is Princess Tiana & Prince Naveen with oc_tony and YellowMickeyPonchos (two of our Disneyland Podcast correspondents). The next pic is just of Tiana and Naveen.
After a pleasant visit, we made our way to the riverfront, and actually stood in the tiered section between Cafe Orleans and the river. We stood in the area that is used for the Fantasmic Premium seating, next to the area where the main light rises.
This turned out to be a PERFECT spot, as the parade passed right by us. Unfortunately, I was not able to take pics, but I did take some video before my card ran out.
Click on the pic for a brief video of the parade from New Orleans Square to the Mark Twain.
The parade passed us and boarded the Mark Twain Steamship, where pre-selected Disneyland guests were waiting to take part in the show.
The audio was fantastic, and the music very catchy as the steamboat made its way towards us, where it stopped, and Tiana, Naveen, Louis the Alligator, a live band, and singers performed the jubilee. There is even a performance by the villain, Doctor Facilier.
Here is a snippet of the show. Click on the pic below:
Here is a pic of a couple of ladies who had been in an earlier show. They had bead necklaces with a medallion that said Tiana's Steamboat Jubilee, and told us that they had a lot of fun on the show.
I would highly recommend watching Tiana's Steamboat Jubilee. If you would like to participate in the show, go near the Rivers of America, near the river, in front of the Pirates of the Caribbean/Cafe Orleans area. Look for cast members who have coupons for the show. They will hand out coupons for guests who'd like to perform. Guests have to be old enough to look over the railing, and will dress in choir robes, and do things like wave streamers and hold props for the show. Note that several have reported that you should go to New Orleans Square when the park opens to get selected for the show.
While the crowd wasn't really too big while we were there, this is really a good show, and I expect word to spread, so be sure to station yourself somewhere in front of Cafe Orleans or Pirates of the Caribbean for the best view. Since the show is on the Mark Twain, everyone in this area should have a pretty good view.
Note that the Mark Twain sails around the island several times during the day. Selected guests can ride during the show, but the steamboat is open to the general guests for other rides.
Come celebrate "Mardi Gras style" with Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen

Were there many children in the show? All I can see are adults.

Maybe it will just be me trying to make my debut.
