I think he meant closing date.
Since we never were given a closing date, either previously, or a newly delayed closing date, then the claim that the closing date keeps getting delayed is incoherent. There was never a commitment to any time frame except the newly announced opening date for TBA.

That's gotta be the funniest acronym ever. And also the most accurate.

The queue at MK is indeed longer, more richly themed, and transports you before the ride even begins in a way that Disneyland's does not. Unfortunately, it is one of the places where WDW's Pirates has had a noticeable decline over its lifespan, but it is still also the place where a Disneylander would likely be most impressed by the Florida Pirates. Even having lost some of its richness, the WDW Pirates Queue is still worthy of envy.
Disneyland Paris got nearly the best of both worlds in this regard - their queue is remniscent of WDW's (a bit shorter, I think, but even more richly themed), and then the ride proper is a restructured version of Disneyland's attraction (I think also slightly shorter, or perhaps just a little faster), featuring both the full Town scenes as well as a Cavern sequence at the end that is closer to Disneyland's in substance than WDW's shortened caves. They also have a great Fortress Facade that outdoes the WDW exterior, and the Adventureland surrounding the attraction absolutely adds to the feel of the whole thing.

Technically we are about 2 years past its the closing date considering how racist and problematic the ride is. It should have been shuttered immediately

Jungle Cruise not so much, it’s an original Walt Disney attraction, and so it’s always going to be a treat to ride at Disneyland (and the piranhas are neat).

I have no idea if this actually happened I do know that Disney would absolutely announce an opening date with absolutely zero intention of actually hitting it. Everything you saw/heard last weekend was a knee jerk response to Anika Noni Rose's 2024 claim. All of it. They had no prior plans of making any Splash Mountain announcements this past weekend.
So, I would consider the late 2024 date to be basically nonsense. That being said, expect the attraction to close after the winter holidays. If they are actually serious about it, it would be closing at the end of August and we'd have a closing date.

When Disney does finally announce a closing date, will they bring back merch for one last time? It would be the nice thing to do, but I doubt they will.

An unannounced closing would not surprise me in this case. If they are truly trying to avoid any attention on the existing attraction at all, that would be the way to do it.

I can maybe see a very short-notice announcement just to confirm that the ride is gone for good. Maybe a "Splash Mountain to permanently close next week!" type of announcment.

no way they miss out on selling merchandise.
