Disneyland’s Critter Country to close temporarily to make way for Princess Tiana merch
If you’re looking to take home a piece of Princess Tiana’s Bayou, you are in luck.
The Disneyland Resort just announced that two retail stores inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios and “The Princess and the Frog" will open soon, according to a news release from the company.
Critter Country will temporarily close beginning May 1 to make the renovations.
Here are the two stores that will open at the Disneyland Resort:
Ray’s Berets
If you plan to jive to the songs of the Bayou, you can join Tiana’s firefly friend Ray at his two locations in Critter Country. Guests can shop for accessories, apparel, headwear, toys and more. Ray’s Berets will be replacing The Briar Patch.
