News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

Also a hidden Cinderella is on the left of the 2nd one. I have no idea how she got there from the late 1600's - early 1700's and from France. Maybe a delorean or phone booth or magic???

That's Kinkade for you. Flounder is in his Fantasia painting.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the costumes and architecture in Cinderella indicate a nineteenth-century setting.

How long does everyone anticipate Splash Mountain staying open? I’d like to plan a trip last week of September if it will be operating.

Asking @marni1971 to check out Screamscape is like asking Dr. Fauci to check out some medical information on Twitter.

Whoops! Sorry about that lol. Sounds like he rehashes things we already know then?

They notoriously get things wrong.

Yeah, that's true, I was going by the books timeline. I guess the Disney version does take place in the 1800's (around 1830 to 80). But she would still need time travel or magic or she would have to be as old as dirt in the painting.

The timeline I gave earlier is still the best information I have. DLR first, maybe this year, maybe next year. WDW MK version to follow, but maybe not even until after DLR's is complete. This is way down the road. Tokyo's version is not changing unless they pull a Dan Snyder.

By the way, I have a bit more resolution on how all of this came to be, and I'll be putting that together in a new thread in the future. But just to clue you into why they announced something with dubious planning and no short term plan to implement as the public might have believed... this essentially came down to a committee making a recommendation for a blue sky doc being adopted, and then top of the top making the call to go with it out of fear that a boycott movement could happen against Disney+. That's likewise why they hurriedly signed a former pro athlete to a Disney Plus content production contract - to avoid a Disney+ boycott that could be tremendously painful for the company at this time.

Interesting... since I've seen many comments on official disney posts about people boycotting Disney+ because of the signing of kaepernick

Polarization is very high right now. However, I think Disney feared a boycott from a particular segment of the population more than another.

Fascinating....



[That's exactly what I said when this was first announced. Not the football player part: the avoiding backlash part.]

The fact that Disney continues to fear boycotts (by one subset of our population over potential subscribers) over what their long-time theme park guests prefer/have loved for years really scares me for the future (as a theme park guest/fan). Maybe we need to hope Disney divests itself of the parks to OLC!
