Alright where were we when we heard the news? I was at camp doing paperwork. Looked at my phone, walked outside and yelled "NOOO!!!" as loud as I could

I mean it makes a lot more sense to just do it in California. They've got the whole Louisiana square thing going on so I just think thematically it makes a lot more sense.
I wouldn't be shocked at all at the WDW change never happens.

I can’t think of any events planned (could be wrong), but I wouldn’t be surprised if the closing date is announced like a month in advanced lmao.

I was enjoying my daily once-a-year trip at Myrtle Beach.
...And now one year later, I am enjoying this year's trip at Myrtle Beach!

Would another I.P. be distracting enough and interesting enough to obscure the current dilemma with retheming and give splash a refreshing non-controversial up lift?
Probably not

I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. It’s not what they are changing the attraction to, it’s the change alone. If Disney wants to have a Princess and frog attraction, that’s fine. Just find a less popular and less iconic attraction to replace.

Or build an entire new attraction from scratch

I wouldn't be surprised if the original announcement that MK's version was getting an overhaul fades away much like the announcement for Reflections Lodge. Then if anyone asks "where's the retheme in MK" Disney will just point their finger over at Disneyland and say "there we did it!" even though the MK would not have changed. If they really get in PR trouble with the move they could just change the dialogue/dialect of the AA's then.

“We only said Disneyland Resort (R). Y’all are dummies and need to learn how to read” they say as they edit the original posts that’ll be like 3 years old at that point.

1984 style? "We've always planned to only change Disneyland."
I'm cool with that idea. Go back and change the blog posts for all I care.

Photoshop the concept art so that it’s the Disneyland logs and just pretend like the current art doesn’t depict WDW’s logs.

Isn’t it the one with the fireflies you did? I think I’ve seen that.

The change is 100% happening. The problem is, it’s shortsighted. The problem with the film and the ride was not that it was an adaptation of Brer Rabbit. It’s that it was one with a great level of inaccuracies attached to it. The Disney Company has convinced the public that you can’t do Brer Rabbit without separating it from Song of the South. Anyone that knows the stories have a life before the Uncle Remus novel know that’s not true and that they are just too cowardly to take the risk and try again. Heaven forbid that more people catch on to this because that will be a massive stain on the Bob’s legacies. Unless they plead ignorance I guess, but I think one of the two knows better enough that it would be difficult.
TL;DR It’s happening, but those in charge better pray that the general public never looks beyond what they’re telling them.
