Unless Tron is opening September 12, 2022, I don't see Splash going down before the busy holiday season. Even if Tron does, I would still expect them to keep it open until its typical after marathon weekend January closure. If the rumors of sets/pieces being deep into fabrication are true, a January 2023 closure could still allow for a Summer 2024 opening, if they hustle.

Agreed, don’t see them closing it before the holiday rush when they desperately need the extra capacity. Really no reason to not wait for the January slow down (we’re talking a 12-15 week difference).

Where did you get this? I searched and couldn't find anything about the schedule.
Here's the full schedule -

I'd imagine that we might get an update on this on Friday too, seeing as how they're revealing Tiana's new look. There's nothing that says park specific, so possibly another more final updated look at the series, as this was just concept art?View attachment 649427
I wish we had more of an update from the TV series.This concept art is so beautiful and it genuinely LOOKS interesting, and it's obvious the costumes are gonna be amazing. I hope that whatever they choose to do with the attraction, it has something to do with whatever this is.

Right?
Honestly, I agree with @Dear Prudence
They could have the Disney convention literally a couple months away. I mean, I don't speak for everyone of my race...But this feels wrong. Like pandering.

Honestly, the whole festival this year looks amazing, and LANA ECTOR WILL BE THERE.
I love seeing Charita Carter get every applicable accolade, is so well deserved. I hope the focus stays on her and her amazing accomplishments, though.No one should no matter what ethnicity or large group. And that is why it feels like pandering. Because it is.

This 110%
And not the blanket "Luis and Tiana go on Mardi Gras adventure" thing either. I really would like some actual story details and some scene concepts.

I think it might be a still from the TV show because it looks way more polished than the other concept art. The Tangled series is so, SO good, so I have a lot of high hopes for this show. This still/art certainly looks very dynamic, like a proper adventure. It's the one thing I have confidence in, given the creative team behind the show and how great the other shows have been. I'm alllll about this new show and hope the new version of the attraction gets at least something from it.

I'm going to assume this is only for the televised part of the event and there are smaller vendors or participants of this festival elsewhere. As for the Splash retheme maybe they could show it during that Tiana future section but it's only twenty minutes long I'd think they focus more on the show but who knows. Also it's a little odd that the end of the last day is an ad for Disney cruises. Meeting Captain Mickey and Captain Minnie seems a little out of left field.

Hm, that schedule leaves basically no time to announce updates to this attraction. Perhaps Parks Blog will just add a new post with a video.
