I’m here. Just checked. They re gone 😞


I was considering buying one too. I asked a CM and they said they were “sold out. Asked if their were any in the back and she said no. Thought if they just “got rid” of them there was a small chance they d sell one if they re still back there and someone asked.

That is honestly, truly tremendously sad. I'm sorry. 😔 I thought I was nuts buying mine when I did, now I am grateful that I did. There were only 500 of each made, so I don't even know how many they even had in the first place. I think they were 2019 D23 items.

I know this is several pages back now, but I finally remembered the book I was thinking of that did a cross comparison between multiple versions of the Brer Rabbit-centered oral literature.

I am not one of those fools trying to save any theme park attraction, but rarely has any theme park attraction been so deeply connected to something so incredibly important for multiple groups of people, particularly those who have traumatic shared history and whose identities are so intrinsically related.

But, yiu know, what are facts and reality when you can grandstand demonstrably false fallacies or use BIPOC for clickbait revenue. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you for posting this. I would absolutely love to have a copy of this.

EDIT: For anyone interested, it’s on sale on Amazon for $20 from $40. A good deal.

You know, watching that makes me realize what a living hell it will be to change this ride.

It's like when you build a dark ride in one of those theme park sims and you don't place any realistic walkways or space for maintenance.

WDW is a little better in that case but is still a mountain of concrete.

I imagine it's easier once all the water is drained out. But you're right, it's not a friendly building and setup.

You know I'm suprised we got through both Black History and Women's History month without Disney trying to say "Hey in honor of [Insert month here], remember we're bringing a diverse new experience with Tiana to Disneyland and The Magic Kingdom"

I feel like I might've asked this question in this thread before, but...

Who do you think they're gonna get to do Naveen's voice for the ride, since Bruno Campos apparently decided to quit acting after Kinect Disneyland Adventures?

The reason they didn't do that is that Disney needs to keep Splash open throughout the 50th-anniversary celebration at Disney World, and a reminder of the retheme would draw unnecessary attention to the fact that Disney has an allegedly problematic ride still operating. Such a reminder would also likely reignite calls for the retheme to happen NOW despite the fact that Disney still isn't finished designing/budgeting the retheme.

Disney is going to take its time with the retheme due to economic challenges, but it will once in a while throw a small tidbit of info about the upcoming project to give the illusion of progress and to prevent the anti-Splash Mountain crowd from protesting.

I expect sometime in early 2023, Disney will announce that the original version of Splash Mountain will close in late 2023. The ride will then probably be closed for a solid two years before opening in late 2025 or early 2026.

They'll recast him with a voice actor who sounds similar. It happens all the time. It'll probably be someone we never heard of.

Or maybe it'll be some celebrity who only sounds vaguely like Naveen but allows them to get in more stunt-casting. That happens a lot too.
