Welp i’m leaving now! Just wanted to make a few points. if you left this thread bc of me, you can come back now. sorry for the integration!

“social justice crap” ma’am, i’m literally venting about how I have been overlooked by disney as a black woman my entire life. seeing posts like this is really the reason as to why i’ve never been adamant to be more vocal in the disney community in the first place. While you had princesses like...

Thank you. I really just wanted to use my experiences as an example! It took a lot of courage.

Of course, that’s what most of these huge corporations are doing. They don’t want to lose their Black customers. Representation is still important though.

true colors all the way out in the open for no reason 🤣

Exactly. This is why I never expressed my concerns and even being black in the disney community to begin with. I’ve been silent on this my entire life.

I understand the outrage bc Splash is such an iconic ride, but i’m not surprised at how closed minded people are being over this and how they’re purposefully not even wanting to understand the bigger picture as to why this happened.

Because I was lurking this website for years, saw you guys’ posts via twitter and decided to swing by and join the conversation. Looks like you guys needed a different perspective :)

The shoe fit like cindy.

You’ll be okay. i’m sad and angry bc people are dying in my community at rapid rates and there are people showing more outrage over a ride than that.

So if those rides stem from movies with racial undertones, maybe a change needs to be made for those as well. or maybe People of Color should just start building their own theme parks so we don’t have to continue to convince this community that some of these things were never okay to portray to...

Because it was explained in this thread 200x that your fave ride stems from a movie that was basically hidden from the public eye......wait for it has racial undertones. Why do you think that this movie was hidden from the public eye? I went home and GOOGLED this ride as a child and found...

I totally get it. Splash was one of my favorite rides, but I am very open to this change. I just feel like as a Black person who’s been spending so much money at these parks, I finally feel like I exist to Disney. I understand how you guys could mourn the loss of this attraction, but this change...

If you guys feel “worthless” over this change, imagine how worthless Black people feel when they visit the parks and have to deal with the fact that there’s never any representation for them on the attractions. I love Disney, but I’ve felt worthless when it comes to their parks my entire life...

No, it replaces a ride with animals and racial undertones. As a child, I googled where splash originated from and found out what SOTS was that way. That’s when I found out the movie had racial undertones. It was a sad day for me. I was a CHILD. I loved Disney. Finding that out hurt, but I...

Hello, Black Disney Parks fan here. I have been reading/lurking these forums since I was 12 years old (now i’m 23) so maybe I can put things into perspective here. I have stanned Disney Parks for my ENTIRE life and I have visited every year but I have always felt overlooked as a black person...
