== Trivia ==

* On the Tiana Foods water-tower are various star designs which resemble Tiana's tiara. One of the points is made to look like the Evening Star, [[Evangeline]], and Tiana's late firefly companion, [[Ray]].
* In Disneyland, the Tiana's Foods location is incredibly close to [[Haunted Mansion (location)|the Haunted Mansion]] and visible from [[Haunted Mansion (Disneyland Park)|the Haunted Mansion]]'s entrance.  As both attractions are set in New Orleans, it is unknown if they are of similarly close proximity within continuity or not.
* On the wall is a "Certificate of Recognition" awarded to Tiana's Foods by the ''New Orleans Square Chamber of Commerce'', referencing Disneyland's themed area of [[New Orleans Square]].
* In Tiana's office, there is a shelf with a figure of a rabbit near a figure of a bear and a fox. This is a tribute to the characters [[Br'er Rabbit]], [[Br'er Fox]] and [[Br'er Bear]], who appeared in Tiana's Bayou Adventure's predecessor [[Splash Mountain (Magic Kingdom)|Splash Mountain]].  At the exit for Tiana's Bayou Adventure in the Magic Kingdom, there is a wooden carving of a bear next to a fox on the mantle in tribute to [[Br'er Fox]] and Br'er Bear.<ref>https://blogmickey.com/2024/06/200-photos-scene-by-scene-breakdown-of-tianas-bayou-adventure-ride-tour-of-queue/</ref>
* The newspaper on Tiana expanding her business into Tiana's Foods was in the newspaper's volume 62, issue 31 while the newspaper story on her arranging her Mardi Gras party was volume 62, issue 33.
* The employee Tony may be a tribute to Imagineer [[Tony Baxter]] who was creative advisor on Tiana's Bayou Adventure, and developed its predecessor Splash Mountain.
* A crate labelled "Fussell Springs" appears at the exit for the Magic Kingdom version of the attraction. This is a repurposed prop from Splash Mountain, where it supposedly tributed a long-time cast-member of the attraction.
