*Cough cough FANTASYLAND cough cough *Not knocking PatF though. Fun movie. Just think it should be showcased elsewhere in WDW.

Why not give WDW's Splash Mountain a different facelift?
Given it's location and surrounding themes, wouldn't it make more sense to take a page from the beloved Aesop fables and use the AA critters within to continue the themes of tall tales, folklores and legends? You already have Pecos Bill across the way. Continue that treatment with a John Henry-based Big Thunder. Looking at Splash Mountain itself, wouldn't a "Tortoise and the Hare" overlay be ideal? They can keep the morality stories, most of the AA critters, the folktale concepts and even the Fronterland motif.
I think the the fable in which ingenuity and trickery are employed to overcome the stronger opponent is a perfect theme for a flume ride with much of the attractions original scenes remaining unchanged.
Both Bobs would read this and vomit
Princess and the Grof
THIS is my big concern. The Laughing Place Scene in particular on BOTH coasts honestly.
At DL it takes place in an underground cavern(Which as a native Louisianian, we don't even have basements due to the water table..how can they go underground during a PATF adventure?)..and WDW is going to be tougher, with the laughing place being themed to a WESTERN mineshaft to match the Fronteirland setting..and both of these have relatively low hanging ceilings/stalactites and stalagmites...
One would have to ask how that is going to work. It WILL cost Disney a lot..I'm honestly curious how they're going to do this.
I don't see it working sadly.Splash Mountain is not the only problematic attraction in that area, there are 4 by my count: Splash Mountain, Country Bear Jamboree, Tom Sawyer Island and Hall of Presidents.
If you really want to look at viability of everything with money not being an object, the move would be to replace Liberty Square and part of Frontierland with New Orleans Square. Frontierland could then be extended over to Tom Sawyer Island with an additional major ride, perhaps a boat ride featuring the less problematic country bears?

The thing is, Liberty Square and the time it represents is representative of a dark time in our country for many Disney guests. Many of the attractions stretching from Liberty Square to Splash Mountain have their own issues that are largely tied directly or indirectly to that sensitivity. You can update them piecemeal (which is likely what they will do). Or you can do the more dramatic refresh that solves the problem all at once.Then we can change the castle to St. Louis Cathedral, change pirates to the DL version, turn the jungle cruise into a swamp tour, change the canteen into Blue Bayou, replace the birds with fireflies in the tikiroom, turn the country bears into a alligator review staring Louis, change the haunted mansion into Dr. Facilier's voodoo mansion, change Tom Sawyer's island into Mama Odie's swamp, have every restaurant serve gumbo and beignets, and turn main street into bourbon street.
...or maybe in "reality" we shouldn't change large portions of the park for just one movie
Why does Brer Rabbit's hands and legs have brown fur, while his head is grey? Why does Disney keep getting Brer Rabbit's fur wrong? Also Brer Fox is brown instead of orange.View attachment 485281
I just hope this statue can stay in some way.
