Splash Mountain re-theme announced

[Parker in NYC]

Keeping in mind that MagicRat is almost certainly not a “bleeding heart liberal” (your Disney Parks rides changing are scarier than the virus???), you’re totally right.

Oh dear, they said that? See, I'm no model for reading comprehension.

They'd say it and return anyway. Disney's a drug and rehab never fills up.

I haven't been back to WDW since 2015. FP+ was the breaking point for me. I may go again once Tron is built because I love that ride but that will be a one and done for me.

I'm curious the amount of people who would stop visiting wdw if Splash was removed. No way to measure obviously, but it would be interesting.

Even though I was mocked for saying it yesterday, my household is not renewing our passes when they come up for renewal (after 15+ consecutive years). We're going to take some time off and simply go to DS or the resorts here or there. We've just not been having great experiences in the parks lately, and this decision was just sad for us.

(We're still UOAP, SW / BG, and Legoland APs.)

There'll be another Tron to bring you back. You ain't gone for good.

There is large % of people who will go to Disney no matter what Disney does. They could rename it Caitlyn Jenner World and fans will still come.

Interesting, I like knowing what people's line in the sand would be. I think ToT or CoP would be my breaking point.

Unfortunately it seems that CoP’s days may be limited according to WDW Pro, but idk if that’ll actually happen as things could shift within the diversity committee that’s looking into a handful of attractions.

I haven’t been to the parks since 2018. After years of complaining I finally cancelled my annuals. Haven’t missed it a bit. The removal of Splash sure isn’t getting me back anytime soon.

I’ll be selling my shares in the company as soon as they go back to 120. Them cutting their dividend to appease the mob was my final straw. I really don’t care about being a customer or a shareholder anymore.

It's probably a good time not to renew, considering the state of the world and the restrictions happening at Disney. It's a good break.

Yeah maybe 2030ish. WDW was getting my money once a year, sometimes twice a year. Now they get it once a decade or so.

Right. Disney's audience is a diverse mixture of groups. Disney has to decide which of those groups it wants to focus on serving well, and which ones it doesn't. Increasingly, serving one group well means crossing another group, doesn't it?

I don’t really agree with this. As with music, a movie or show can have any fans from anywhere of any color, religion, gender, nationality. You’re not taking from to please another.. unless and until it’s intentional.

The reaction to the “Elsa is gay!” shouts, is because assuming that a strong independent woman must be a lesbian, is a tired old trope. It’s a horrible stereotype that should be long gone by now, but sadly is apparently not.

I wouldn't mock you. I'm impressed by people that actually vote with their wallets.

I guess I was wrong! More room for me. I only say that because it's often said on forums and I've never had a chance to use it.

They aren't renewing because they are disappointed with the park, not because of covid.

And you choose to use it on me! Lol

I hadn't seen that take before..

Really?

Absolutely

I had an opinion of my own, is that ok with you?

 

[orlandogal22]

Interesting, I like knowing what people's line in the sand would be. I think ToT or CoP would be my breaking point.

Any of my household's Top 5 were breaking points. Top 5 were SM, CoP, JC (or SFT), HM, or PP. BTMR coming in as Honorable Mention.

Not saying we'll never go back. Like I've said, we're 20 mins. from the park. Hard to stay away. But we're going to take a break.

Uh, oh... you just reminded me the Mansion makes reference to people that committed suicide... we must erase those images from the attraction lest it be seen as the glorification of suicide and one of the precious minds that sees it might harm them self because of it... Quick start a petition.

Can you spare a minute to help Beneel the Historian?

Remove the Suicide Scene from the Haunted Mansion

Someone beat me to it.

Is it ok to use it on Scuttle, one of my favorite characters of all time?

It's not a matter of opinion. The poster stated why they weren't renewing and covid wasn't listed as a reason.
