Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

[Professortango1]

So you're responding to a post from 4 weeks ago why? A lot has been discussed since then.

Also what you're saying here is not really anything that hasn't already been discussed in the last 4 weeks (or for months and years before it), which you were part of. So again why go back 4 weeks to respond to a post and not anything more recent?

Also also, you're not really saying anything that I don't really disagree with. They crafted a story that they wanted to have happen after the movie. The reasons for that are probably many, some of which we've probably never even thought of, but I wouldn't call it fear or trepidation, but use whatever word will make you feel better. In the end I honestly don't really care all that much, I've long said (and you can probably find quotes from years ago on it if they haven't been purged) that I thought the attraction should be set after the movie not include Facilier because it makes the most sense if not telling a book report.

I however don't still subscribe to the claim that he was "banished", never did and never will, and the recent reveal of those documents proves there is/was no banishment of the character. Only an attempt to stave off potential issues related to questions from guests that may come up, which is probably good.

Sorry, this site gets wacky on occasion. I get notifications that say a post was posted "tomorrow at 8:30 AM." The notifications don't always correspond, but that's a WDW Forum issue.

And, as someone who knows folks in Imagineering, these choices were out of fear/trepidation. The reactions to some of the misguided racism in the film was on the forefront of many conversations when planning the show.

Also, nobody has claimed Facilier was banished except you in combatting that. Many have just echoed the sentiments from Disney's Management, that Disney didn't want to put the character in the permanent reskin as he was too potentially damaging at the time.

Go back through this thread a few years, there were people making the claim of him being “banished”, another poster brought it up before I even mentioned it just in the post right before the one you quoted from 4 weeks ago. So again it’s not just me.

Yeah, I think someone brought it up previously. It's why I responded to the claim as well. But a bunch of posts got deleted since though.
