Nah I missed the original point. Just doing a quick skim on lunch hahaI know, I'm also in their Discord (which is much more chill). Or was that sarcasm I missed?

Are they going to continue refurbishing the exterior even after the ride re-opens? Seems weird that they picked a completely different color for the rockwork and the foliage. There's a very hard transition from new to old.

That's actually really cute. It's one of the nicest designs with her on it I've seen.

Princess and the Frog Colors or is it because it's fresh paint?

Also, apparently the briar patch was repainted according to the source that shall not be named.

It was probably the cheapest paint they could find. I do agree it is a hard transition though. Maybe they thought the new paint would hold up better in the Florida sun.

Heading in later today... is Splash reopening today on schedule, despite the still-visible scaffolding?
Indicative of a change in theme?
Indicative of things staying the same?
Typical Disney.

Looks more like Disneyland’s Colors. Unfortunately, painting a structure the same color won’t magically turn the building into an exact copy of the Disneyland facility, like they are probably hoping.

Maybe it's more of a wet / weathered look on the bottom?

From the article:
“It’s likely that Disney simply forgot to add the blurb back to the website following the refurbishment message and that once they become aware of the error, it will be corrected. A reference to the retheme remains available in the My Disney Experience app.”
According to the site which we cannot name Splash reopened looking terrible still. I know I joked about it before but I'm genuinely worried now they're gonna let the show scenes rot before closing it.

Based on how they did a terrible job refreshing the outside based on photos on blogmickey and reports from the other site about the interior, I 100% think this is what’s happening. Letting it rot until they retheme it.

This seems pretty par for the course when it comes to WDW refurbs. They seem to close for the minimum amount of time to do what's necessary to keep the thing running, the attraction re-opens looking in desperate need of a refurb, and they keep fixing things here and there on an ad hoc basis as usual. Then maybe every 20-30 years they shut down for a proper refurbishment.

Yeah I was thinking that too I mean look at Splash in Disneyland that's getting a 2 month treatment. Since land is more of a locals park they can afford to take the extra time. World for the most part can't afford to have an attraction down for more than the bear minimum amount of time.
