It's sad but expected. So long Brer Rabbit finding the Laughing Place with you was always a highlight of my trips!

This, to me, is the end of Classic Disney. It's virtually the death of 90's Disney. From now on, everything is new, and I don't think it will be good.
Two and a half years was way too short a heads up that the ride was closing.

I'm watching the last stream from Randa. It's very sentimental. I will miss this dearly, and I hope in the future Disney can revisit the characters and music, that have made this ride the BEST for 30 years.
So long Splash Mountain. You may have not been my favorite ride in the park, but the stories you told, and the lessons I've learned after all this. Well, it's something I'll remember for a lifetime <3.

It's really sad Disney didn't make the going away special. It seems like they just gave it a closure date. Considering it has been in all the Disney commercials of the last 30 years it is a very unfitting ending.
They should've made a big event for the going away.
Whether they claimed the ride was problematic or not they couldve made this day special.

Agree as well. There's nothing left of the original company now. Just mindless IPs.

I got on this ride only once. I am a gigantic ride wimp, so it took like two years of psyching myself up, but I felt I had to. It's my sister's favorite ride (she rode it six times a couple days ago) and neither of us are taking it well. The songs have had a presense in our house since we were really little and that's just making it hurt more.
Anyway, my luck, the photos were broken when I went on (and came back up two or three logs after me!) so I don't have any log picture to share, but even broken I totally understand the praise and it was great to see everything.
I'm really glad I experienced it, and very happy for all the joy it brought my sister all these years.
I never thought I'd feel so much sadness losing a ride I didn't plan on ever actually riding again.

There was never any chance of them throwing a farewell party for a ride that's getting replaced in large part because it's "problematic".

A very unfitting send off for a major attraction. It should've been a big going away.

I agree. This is really the end of an era for Disney.
Again, they are censoring things that never drew complaints, like PotC auction.

As popular as those rides were this is a much more beloved ride, the only ride closures that I think would have the same impact would be Pirates, Mansion, Space, Big Thunder, and probably small world.
This is probably the most popular ride that has ever closed.

I'm going to really miss seeing Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Bear, and Br'er Fox out in the open after today.
It's been ages since Disney decided to retire any Disney Character that's been out for this long (such Flower and formerly Thumper from Bambi and Oliver and Dodger from Oliver & Company).

Not to mention Jessica Rabbit in the Roger Rabbit ride.

Honestly… I’d kick them all out of line if this continued too long.
