Tiana’s Palace is coming to Disneyland park later this year! Partnering with Disney Animation artists from the film, “The Princess and the Frog,” to bring this story to life. In fact, the film designers took inspiration from the exterior of the original French Market Restaurant in New Orleans Square when designing Tiana’s Palace for the movie, so this is a long-dreamt homecoming. @waltdisneyimagineering
