Are you willfully ignoring the film those characters are from?

Of course he does. It’s a PR move. Just like EVERY Disney social media page is announcing this. It’s for PR, nothing more.

So... What are the chances that we see a timeline similar to FEA... Close Oct 2020, reopen by June 2022 in time for summer of the 50th anniversary season? Or is planning not far along enough to start work that soon?
lol, that you don't think they could make a problem out of anything is truly funny.... Paw Patrol anybody....
You Know Randy Newman, the writer of the Princess and The Frog Songs?
Allow me to post the Lyrics of his Christmas in Capetown
n Jungletown
All the boogies in the street
Radios turned up very loud
Playin' Dancing Queen
They love our music
This English girl from the North somewhere
Is stayin' with me at my place
Drinkin' up all my beer
Talkin' about the poor n#ggers all the time
It's a real disgrace, she says
I tell her, Darling, don't talk about things
You don't understand
I tell her, Darling, don't talk about something
You don't know anything about
I tell her, Darling, if you don't like it here
Go back to your own miserable country
It's Christmas in Cape Town but it ain't the same
Oh, the boys on the beach are still blowin'
And the summer wind still kicks the clouds around
You know my little brother, babe
Well, he works out at the diamond mine
I drove him out there at five…

Really? You don't see how this ride is infinitely more promotable after a change?
Father: Want to ride Splash Mountain?
Daughter: What's it about?
Father: Oh Brer Rabbit, he has to escape a bear and fox!
Daughter: Who the heck is Brer Rabbit? Maybe.
After Ride Change
Father: Want to Ride (Whatever the name it...maybe it will still be Splash Mountain)
Daugher: What's it about?
Father: Its about the Princess and the Frog
Daughter: Lets do it!

I’m sorry but maybe people would have more fun whilst on vacation if they put their cellphone up and did not have to research whether or not if there is something to be offended about. It’s just stupid. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed I get to make it back there with my grandson now that he is tall enough to ride before they change it. He is very familiar with the movie. It is his favorite DVD currently.

I get the issues with the movie and why it is thought of the way it is. This though has nothing to do with the movie or anything else it is to make the extremes happy....
Just like removing any shows that have black face on it.. etc.... it is just to many extremes....
So I am guessing Jimmy Kimmel will be done at disney now.... they cannot keep him either.

Or to not remind tourists of America's painful history of slavery during their vacation. But feel free to stick with your "woke mob" angle if you want to hold on to your sense of entitlement.
Also, who is to say this won't be an improvement?

RIP Splash Mountain. I will mourn you properly.

It is not one of Disney's big budget films like Lion King but I definitely consider it a must see for Disney animation fans. Just manage expectations. I found it better than the other movies you mention. Decent soundtrack by Randy Newman.

They better change it to some sort of generic wizardly world.
So they want to avoid racist overtones of Song of the South by setting the new story in 1920s New Orleans Mardi Gras when racist Mardi Gras groups were still a thing? New Orleans didn't ban "white only" parades until the 1990s. I think Disney can get away with it because the ties to racism are tenuous and require a stretch of the imagination, not only Splash connections.
