Yesterday, the Chase family was invited to be among the first to experience Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World before it opens this summer. During this moment:
- Stella Chase Reese was presented with the Walt Disney World Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attraction poster.
- She was also presented with a hard hat and became an honorary Imagineer.
- Her sister, Leah Chase Jr., was given a framed photo from the recording session where she lent her voice to some of the attraction’s music.
- Walt Disney World Ambassadors invited the family to be some of the first to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Leah Chase Sr., former owner of Dooky Chase’s Restaurant in New Orleans and mother of Stella and Leah Jr., served as one of the inspirations for the character of Princess Tiana in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Princess and the Frog” and later for the development of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is opening this summer at Magic Kingdom and later this year at Disneyland Park in California.
