Actually since they never fixed the water canon or just turned it off you pretty much never get wet on that ride anymore. god forbid you have the pixie dusters get wet on an actual water ride.

News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

This new scene is the thrilling moment you first drop into the bayou and encounter some friends both new and familiar. This is the geese scene
We all knew this day was coming but it still hurts. Regardless of how people felt about the ride's subject matter, when built this may have been the best thing to over come out of WDI. It is an amazing experience of thrills, music and fun. I am so sad to see it go as I have so many memories of taking the monorail with my parents from Epcot after Illuminations to get on more rides at MK then hitting up Splash with my dad a few times before our day ended.
I hope Disney creates a great ride for Tiana which makes the lose more palatable but I doubt it considering current management.

Weren’t there rumors that this attraction would take the princess and the frog music and write new lyrics to them? I feel like a remember a few insiders suggesting this.

This isn't anything new. Disney constantly uses language like this in their blog posts. It's all performative BS but it doesn't imply the final result won't be entertaining.

Lol I didn’t even read/ see any of that. My brain has started to filter it all out until I get to the real content.

I sure hope they use those geese elsewhere
I think it will. They don't have a new ride system to get online, it is really just a case of scenic dressing. Most of it can already have been fabricated ready for install.
TL/DR-
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will take you on a journey inspired by the story and characters from the hit film, picking up where that story left off. In preparation for this new experience and the many exciting updates ahead, Splash Mountain at Walt Disney World Resort will be closed starting Jan. 23, 2023, so we can begin the next phase of this attraction’s development. Additional information about Splash Mountain at Disneyland Resort will be shared at a later date.

They actually admitted this in a press release over the summer saying it would feature "original music inspired by the film."
Does 23 32872 mean anything?

Wondering the same thing but also, although I know this is probably not the case, this figure reminds me a lot of this one:

Construction starts in 2023. Maybe 3/28/72 is someone's birthday?

Kind of surprised that it looks like the WDW version is happening first... I was under the impression that the Disneyland version would be first to start/first to open... maybe the WDW version is starting first because there is (slightly) more to do?
