If you're going to try to call me out for insulting somebody at least have courage to tell me what I said wrong.
But everybody is so sensitive in these forums that I could say "hello" and someone could take offense to it.

If you want to be over sensitive...take it to Twitter or leave it in High School.

Regardless of what you call them, they were a group of people who demanded a change more people disagreed with than agreed with and won anyway.
I guess it depends on who you define as "more people." If you limit it to the people signing petitions, then it would seem that Disney chose to side with the smaller group demanding a change. Maybe they were considering a broader audience and not limiting their decision to petitions. Or maybe they thought the smaller number of people had a more valid point than the larger number of people.

Apart from adding Wales, please! It is the only part of the main U.K. not represented. It is recognised as having the oldest language in Europe and has its own National dress, a fantastic flag and one of the finest anthems in the world!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

...and Gareth Bale. I like Wales just for that. ;)

Well there’s an easy way to tell. If they are making the decision based on petitions and there’s one out there with triple the signatures to keep Splash unchanged, then the ride will remain as it is. We just wait and see.

Petition aside, do you really think Disney’s decision had nothing to do with current climate and backlash?

I’ve missed several pages, have we yet heard from anyone who was offended or even uncomfortable with Splash Mountain?

Just read this on twitter..
I don’t know how anyone thinks the Splash announcement wasn’t due to current agendas and fear. We’re seeing it everywhere.

No-one is denying that the timing of the announcement is related to current events. I think pretty much everyone here is in agreement on that.

To state again, as I think everyone has said it at least once...

I think WDW did plan on re-theming it. But not tomorrow. Not this year. Probably not for another 2 years at least (which is still when it looks like it will happen).

However, with current events, they went ahead and announced it.

At least I think I've stated that...

To my knowledge, no.

Point 2 reaffirms that they're using the movie for reasons other than its success, which is pretty evident.
If success wasn't the only thing that mattered to Disney when it came to making rides based on animated movies, we would've actually gotten that Atlantis Submarine Voyage retheme.

Ah, so you just reach for excuses to avoid anything that may give a different perspective, when one excuse fails, grab the next. Got it.

Its either that, or I don't need to read people's opinion pieces that are written on very biased platforms........

I mean, might as well let Trump make my mind up for me.......

I like to look at facts and make my own mind up.

Or have a discourse on it. Not read slanted opinion pieces......

Thanks for sharing it though.

Now if the national inquirer puts a piece out, let me know!

It wasn’t a New York Post article, as clearly written and linked. 🤦‍♀️ However, it is a conservative paper.. you don’t have to read it.. no one has to.. but simply saying “Personally, I won’t read it.” is better than making strange excuses.
Sometimes I want to read something, sometimes I don’t, but I do not discard something strictly for the fact that it comes from a liberal leaning publication. I see the content first. To each their own. :)
Carry on.
