He still has a place in WDW...just not a ride.
Funny enough, the same store you can get Brear Bear on a shirt.

Good grief, they are such a hot mess
They're selling Toad merch at the Main Street Cinema now.

Is the UK Mary Poppins attraction still on? Since Frozen is already in WS, Disney could clone Toad from Disneyland and call it a day.

Last I heard Mary Poppins like the rest of Epcot outside of Guardians of the Galaxy was put on the backburner.

Journey of Water is currently being built and Play is still coming (but probably not until Disney feels it is reasonable post pandemic for that sort of thing).

Officially, three Epcot projects were shelved as a result of the pandemic: the SSE refurb, the multi-leveled festival center, and Poppins.
SSE will almost certainly undergo a refurb at some point in the next few years, though likely a scaled-back version of what they had planned. The other two projects are, for all intents and purposes, canceled. Disney could always pick them back up, but they have no current plans to.

Toad would fit SO well into that pavilion.

Of course Toad would fit well in the UK pavilion but that's never going to happen. They could have moved him there when he closed at MK but instead they buried him in the Haunted Mansion pet cemetary

An updated Alice from DL with the proper facade could too.Of course Toad would fit well in the UK pavilion but that's never going to happen. They could have moved him there when he closed at MK but instead they buried him in the Haunted Mansion pet cemetary

Alice would be way more likely but let's hold out for Mary Poppins 
I know it's a few days late, but it's kind of ironic that the day Song of the South turns 75, Disney announces more information on the upcoming Tiana series.

If only inclusivity had any bearing on the enjoyment of any form of entertainment.
It doesn't.
Well, maybe to the section of the population that obsesses over it.
Matter of fact the persuit of inclusivity usually leaves the making of a good product by the wayside.

I can offer a personal experience that directly contradicts your claim. When I was a child, long before I had any notion of what inclusivity was, I was beyond excited when Aladdin came out. The fact that the story and its characters represented the Middle East (however fantastically) meant a great deal to me as a kid of Middle Eastern heritage. And even now, despite all my awareness of the more problematic aspects of the film, I feel a special attachment to it.
If inclusivity doesn't matter to you, it may well be because the community to which you belong isn't lacking in representation.
As a larger kid genetically, I never cared whether someone looked like me in a movie nor after losing weight but remaining big framed did I appreciate Heavyweights because of that as much as the comedy. I did not care for Rainman nor any movie that had a Savant syndrome case represented because "hey that's me" even though I am in the spectrum and have had some things come easier for me while some things more difficult. I think what incomudro inclusivity can just be not something someone needs over good characters and writing.
Getting a lot of mileage with that concept art.

For those that care, Splash Mountain is not ridable in the Minecraft DLC released today. It's where you go to get Tianas signature:

But they included you know what in Peter Pan because of course they did.
Also, why did they keep the old Splash design?! (Unless they don't know what it will for sure look like...)

I don't think any of us expected it to still be the only one released 17 months later, excluding the less concrete impressionist piece.
