The title may be gone by the angled Splash Mountain sign is still showing. Of course, now that this has been pointed out, it will be gone before you know it.
So Attraction Magazine is assuming that imagineers were already listening to Tiana attraction audio real-time through headphones.

It's not like WDW ideas haven't been affected by conflict before. In 1971, a Persian themed resort sounded very exotic. Eight years later (1979) was the Iran Hostage Crisis and the taking over of Iran's government by the Ayatollah. Not very likely you would have a resort based on Persia after...
I'm conflicted. The idea of a salt dome puts a bad taste in my mouth. The tree seemed more natural. So while I don't necessarily lean toward the tree concept, I'm dubious over the salt mine concept.
So I thought I would re-use a 2017 poster calendar for 2023 (days of the week are the same). Take a look at February. Who knows, I may separate it at the perforations and frame it.
Didn't say I wanted a book report. Just a fun romp with the characters in the bayou. BTW, Splash is was more like a short story report throughout, actually.
I think what has everyone concerned is the apparent over-thinking of the theme. Instead of a fun log flume ride in the Louisiana Bayou with the PATF characters, they concoct a story following the movie about a salt mine, her co-op, and restaurant.
