"We recently gathered at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant in New Orleans — founder Leah Chase was one of the inspirations for Princess Tiana — to talk about Tiana’s impact over the past decade and the creative process behind the upcoming attraction, including the next-level technology Imagineers are employing to bring it to life. Generations of the Chase family welcomed us while Chef Dook cooked up some of their famous gumbo. We sat down with Leah’s daughter, Stella Chase Reese who shared that “The two coming together, music and food, brings joy and happiness to all” and isn’t that the truth?"

Oh, yes they did. We need not go back into why Splash Mountain is being rethemed. Now you can argue on why they thought they should but they decided that, yep, they should.
If you go back and read the conversation, it was about Disney using surge pricing on top tier attractions, not about the retheme of Splash.

Honestly I'm still in shock that they are destroying a beloved attraction instead of just building Tiana her own section of new fantasy land or a new ride.

But hey, this is cheaper, so why not? The Legacy of the Parks obviously doesn't really matter to current leadership. That's obvious in the 50th anniversary plans that have nothing to do with Disney's history.
