But that's the thing, this isn't just an isolated body of water in a theme park, the way it is at any other Disney theme park. This is one component of a massive, interconnected system within all of Walt Disney World. I have my own questions about what the loss of the river would mean for that system, but it is true that Seven Seas Lagoon and ROA are connected and play a role into the resort's larger system of waterways, and that would inherently introduce complications that none of the other rivers would have to deal with.
Feels like a ridiculously convenient excuse. It was fine for 50 years; suddenly it’s problematic? And would it really be impossible to disconnect from the larger system and establish the river as an independent entity?
Maybe somebody at WDI could weigh in on this obviously controversial matter. Until then, I’m not going to give WDI the benefit of the doubt based on some Disney apologist on Twitter.
