I’m hoping that they keep the New Orleans stuff in the finale/ ZADD room without getting rid of the boat of course. Kind of like you made it New Orleans! Yay!

That sucks. The Hungry Bear and the Winnie the Pooh side of Splash don’t look or feel anything like New Orleans. Not that they care.
Yeah, I’m not sure what that transition is going to look like. But as you said, they don’t care.
The odds of MK getting a different ride most likely don’t exist. The story already doesn’t make sense in a Frontierland setting. They’re not going to try and make it make sense.

Nothing that won’t be solved by a bulldozer in due time I’m sure.
Most likely the long term plan this is going to take the TSMM >> Pixar Pier “mission creep” of NOS around the bends of ROA. Even if it takes a decade, under the current managent I don’t know if I can foresee HB and Pooh surviving until the parks 75th. Possibly a casualty of GE expansion , NOS, or some other project as part of Disneyland Forward.
That area of Critter Country that Mick mentioned, in between Splash and Pooh/Hungry Bear is sorely underrated and easily one of my favorites in the entire park. I have no faith that Disney will do a good job in re-working it.
Just another thing to not look forward to, “new” ride set aside.

Ya please don’t touch it. I’d rather it just not make sense
And the disturbing thing about this post is that it’s not far-fetched. Something like this could and probably will happen. The park will be 75 in just nine (!) years and all I can see happening in my head in between that time is more decline, bad choice-making, more money grabs, and more. Unless something drastically happens with management and they do a 180. Could it happen? Yes? Will it though? Probably not.

Can someone tell me how I’m supposed to “give a chance” to something that is supposed to be a permanent replacement for my favorite attraction? If this were some holiday makeover like HMH, that would be one thing, but how do I give this “a chance?” Especially when I’m being told that it’s bad to like the old one?
It’s the principles of the thing I can’t get around.

To be fair, that sort of happened for the park's 50th- we got Ouimet in charge after Pressler/Harris left. And he was able to turn the park around and restore a lot of what was lost.
Granted it'd need to be on a much larger scale, but it's not impossible.

No Disney don’t listen to this. It’s already An amazing looking bayou as it is. In fact why was it even called Critter Country or Bear Country? It should have been called Bear Bayou all along.

I'd rather they bulldoze MK and keep Disneyland as is.
If we’re being honest…
I was very close to writing something like this, but I held my “tongue.” Glad someone else said it.

Blue Sky developing here: but let's say Disneyland's Critter Country becomes a fantasy forest for all critters (which I feel like that's been the direction) so that the 100 Acre Wood, a bayou, Chip and Dale, Fox and the Hound, any others can coexist in a fantasy forest, not just a south eastern forest for hillbilly critters. Maybe it becomes Fantasy Forest instead of Critter Country (I mean, the name already changed from Critter Country when Splash was built)
Then WDW Splash gets a treatment to be Western River Expedition (this would never happen but go with me) and Tiana gets an original ride different from Splash in Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland expansion forest.
With WDW Splash likely getting the same redevelopment as Disneyland, there will certainly be a mini land of New Orleans in Frontierland (possibly like how pre NOS Disneyland had a New Orleans Street in Frontierland that developed into a full square)
Princess and the Frog makes just as much sense as Br'er Rabbit in WDW Frontierland. Song of the South is arguably even farther away from a Frontierland theme, geographically speaking because plantations outside of Atlanta are not even as close to the American frontier as a bayou near New Orleans.
