Disney needs an Ian Malcolm. "...they never stopped to think if they should".

Sneaky increases that are intended to be obscured from the customer are far more devious and "evil". It's odd that that method is being used as an example of good corporate behavior.

FWIW, the stock is down a bit since they rolled out this plan, and, notwithstanding Disney+'s perceived growth and the Parks' return to profitability, it's down since the start of the year. The rest of the DJIA is up 17% for the year. Take that for what you will.

Hmmm. I feel like there was some long dead businessman and visionary who hated tacky carnivals and fairs and set out to do something different. Anyone remember that guys name?

No one actually knows (or if they do, they’re not saying), but I think the consensus is actually that it likely won’t close in WDW until after the 50th. So summer 2023 or so as an earliest reasonable closing. All guesswork, though.
If what we're hearing is accurate it'll be there

Oh you bet they are - do you think Bobby can bathe in his money pit AND pay for a bunch of AAs? Of course not!

To Orlando?
It'll be there.
The new art is likely very little concept art and more vague inspiration. They just want to showcase that they are really feeling the heart of of New Orleans.
"We recently gathered at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant in New Orleans — founder Leah Chase was one of the inspirations for Princess Tiana — to talk about Tiana’s impact over the past decade and the creative process behind the upcoming attraction, including the next-level technology Imagineers are employing to bring it to life. Generations of the Chase family welcomed us while Chef Dook cooked up some of their famous gumbo. We sat down with Leah’s daughter, Stella Chase Reese who shared that “The two coming together, music and food, brings joy and happiness to all” and isn’t that the truth?"
Gather Around The Table For a Conversation and Peek at the Latest Developments of the Upcoming Attraction Inspired By “The Princess and the Frog”
Last year, we announced that Imagineers are developing an all-new attraction coming to both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort inspired by the fan-favorite Walt Disney Animation Studios film, “The Princess and the Frog.” With the kick

Oh, yes they did. We need not go back into why Splash Mountain is being rethemed. Now you can argue on why they thought they should but they decided that, yep, they should.

If you go back and read the conversation, it was about Disney using surge pricing on top tier attractions, not about the retheme of Splash.

Honestly I'm still in shock that they are destroying a beloved attraction instead of just building Tiana her own section of new fantasy land or a new ride.
But hey, this is cheaper, so why not? The Legacy of the Parks obviously doesn't really matter to current leadership. That's obvious in the 50th anniversary plans that have nothing to do with Disney's history.
