The updated ride seems to have a propensity for drenching shoes. "Crocs without socks" is the way to ride. I'm with you that any moisture above the ankles is easily manageable.

Can you share these "internal documents", I mean if you saw them they must be accessible somehow so the rest of us can see them too right? Not that I don't believe you, well actually I don't as rumors talked about on sites like this tend to be 95-99% overblown and taken out of context of their original intent. Which I think is more to the point here, people take these things out of context and then assume they know why things are done and then rumors start flying around.
Also if he isn't suppose to be related to anything Voodoo why would even up until last year in the parade he has performers acting as zombies, a big part of the Voodoo lore, preceding him.

So then using him in TBA still might not be a possibility unless that documentation is old and they have softened their stance a bit. His inclusion in the Villains Land collage might suggest that. I’d assume his presence on TBA would at least have to imply some association with voodoo. Not that they can’t work around it and of course 99% of people wouldn’t care at all.

Dude, I have respect for you. Lol I wouldn't interact with you over all these years if I didn't.
I just disagree with you on things, doesn't mean I don't respect you. Also where would a non-Disney person see "internal documents" that outlines SOP for performers on what they are and are not allowed to say, sounds a bit fishy to me. I mean you question stuff all the time that doesn't make sense to you, just like yesterday you questioned another poster for saying that TBA has high satisfaction scores from GSATs, basically the same thing because you didn't believe the source.

Lol.
Of course you want to believe him because it fits the narrative you want to believe, even if it may not be true or even heavily taken out of context and not at all close to being the reality of how its being presented here.

I can’t. Not yet. But eventually, it will be public.

Ok, sure, just "trust me, it'll come out eventually". This is like Pro and all his "insider" trust me claims that never came true.
I'll be holding my breath waiting....

Lol, ok well then maybe it shouldn't be shared at all if you can't provide anything further than "trust me, it'll come out eventually". Eventually is a long time, I mean we all could be dead here before that info ever sees the light of day for anyone to even tell if your claims were true or not.
Besides anyone can say "Hey I've seen this but you can't see it so you just have to trust me". We've had plenty of folks on this site claim "inside" info that never come true.
FWIW I've seen the files Oswald is talking about. They do indeed say to omit voodoo references with the characters. And no, they are not allowed to be publicly released by our source.

And what are the dates of these "files"? 2020s? 2010s? Were they part of the Disney leak that happened last year, if yes then they can be shared. Also doesn't explain why even last year during his parade appearance they still had zombie walkers just ahead of him if they are suppose to be omitting references to Voodoo.
Also why have so many people seen these "files" if they supposedly can't be shared? Things just not adding up here guys. Sorry to be the one guy who questions this and not just blindly trusts what is being said, but we've had many many many posters claim "insider" info that turn out to be just trying to get "cred" and posting false claims. So I question when said posts are made.

Within the last year. Active documents. References TBA a lot. We have mutual friends.

Ok, then answer this why last year during his parade appearance they still had zombie walkers just ahead of him if they are suppose to be omitting references to Voodoo? Zombies are a huge part of Voodoo lore, and its a clear reference to it. Or if you want to say they were "dolls" and not zombie walkers, again the Voodoo doll has voodoo right in the name and is again a direct reference.
Again doesn't make sense if what you say is true. Sound like something taken out of context, again if its actually true.
Recent enough to say not to mention Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Bear or Splash Mountain by name.

So you think they re both lying and it also just so happens that me, a guy with no inside sources, can come to the same conclusion just by reading the tea leaves and common sense. Lets say right now, at this moment, if your life depended on it and you had to get this answer right or it’s lights out… would you say yes, that Disney is censoring the character and they don’t want him to be associated with voodoo or would you stick to your guns?

Shoot. Seems unlikely then that they try to include him in the ride anytime soon. I mean, if you can’t even play the song then what’s the point?

I'm not saying they're lying, maybe they did see a document. Without anything but the word of a couple posters its hard to just take their word for it. We've been burned by many many supposed "insiders" for years here. So I don't think its unfair to question the veracity of the claim. Or even question if its possible it was taken out of context, plenty of times that has happened.
Also the question I've asked now multiple times still hasn't been answered. If these are recent, and they aren't suppose to be referencing voodoo at all, then why were zombie walkers, or "dolls", preceding him in the parade even as recent as last year. That would be a direct reference to voodoo. So again doesn't make sense if we are to believe what they are saying it true.
As for your question, I don't know if Disney is actively trying to "censor" the character. Could it be possible, sure. But I can't say one way or the other if they are or not. The point above about the reference in the parade just last year indicates to me that no they aren't, but who knows.
