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

There's lots of room back there, even if they move the dots back to the stripe zone... the bigger issue would be sightlines from the west edge of the expansion area. Of course, the current management doesn't seem all that concerned about sightlines, so that might not be an issue.

Then again the Pirates show building would make it a pretty tight squeeze

Tight, yes. Unprecedented, no. Just ask the HM and IASW show buildings:

Yep, that is true. I can forgive them for replacing Ellen's though. It was a snoozefest, I just wish it were Wall-E.



Indeed, Disney has been doing some weird stuff lately. They are putting Moana in Epcot instead of Adventureland???....???

And you wonder why Moana was not thought of as a replacement for Chester and Hester... A whole Pacific Islands section of the park would have been amazing...leading up to the Finding Nemo Theater... Then they could have the Moana Journey of Water Splash Zone and a few other Moana Attractions with a Pacific Tidal pool discovery exhibit and some animals native to the area... It could be really beautiful...rather than placing it in EPCOT where it literally relates to nothing...

The Rivieras are pretty spot on

Where are they? I vaguely remember seeing that they had them, but I'm not seeing them on any menus.

Bar Riva. They’re off the menu atm due to Covid but hopefully will be back.

Rewatching SPLASH on Disney+. In multiple scenes Tom Hanks’s character is heard singing “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.”

Removing the offending scenes aren’t enough. They need to take the movie down in its entirety. And his Disney Legend status revoked.

This is a joke right?

They also need to get rid of Who Framed Roger Rabbit because Br'er Bear shows up in a few frames

I've never thought of that. It wouldn't be my first choice (adventureland), but it makes more sense than Epcot. Maybe than we could finally get our volcano rollercoaster.

C’mon, believe it or not nobody knew what the song and movie really were until just recently...that includes Tom Hank’s character in Splash. How many children have sung that song, (black and white and every other nationality since the movie was released and through the years since Splah was made. We know now and the censorship is as far as it needs to go.

There's a misconception that racism is only about hate. You kind of outlined an aspect of it here by citing ignorance. So many of the societal changes we're currently witnessing are stemming from more people understanding what we were ignorant of 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, or 100 years ago. We move forward by learning from that ignorance, listening to people that were affected by that ignorance and adapting our behavior.

Sung by children of different races holding hands with a man of a minority race in a film that was the first to show a black and white hand grasping together, in a close up for impact no less.

I don't mean to direct hate in anybody's direction but if anyone here is open to hearing criticism of SotS and SM I can suggest a couple videos and podcasts. I want to note I'm not anti-SM per se.

Bringing this thread back to the retheming of Splash Mountain: I know it flew under the radar with the news of the Disney Look being updated, but that same article specifically mentioned Splash Mountain's retheme to Princess and the Frog. This should put an end to all those theorizing it was canceled because Disney hasn't mentioned it since they first announced it.

That article neither hints at anything new nor does it explicitly mention the Splash Mountain overlay for WDW. Even the wording "adventures with Princess Tiana" sounds vague and ambiguous.

It is pretty explicit that they are talking about the retheme with it linking back to the original announcement that mentions both WDW and DL.

Prejudice, antagonism, discrimination. So no, not just hate. But I’m not sure what you are even talking about here.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) a happy song about a beautiful day doesn’t fit those categories.

You can believe a conspiracy theory from the 90s that it was secretly based on an offensive song by the shear notion that there’s a shared syllable, but there’s no basis in reality.

It’s another theory to support someone’s narrative. The difference in intent is clear. One song makes fun of a particular background especially in its lyricism and articulation. The other is articulated well, features a made up phrase like Mary Poppins, and won a guy an Oscar.
