Unless I missed something, has this been confirmed yet?
Facilier was not included among the list of returning character in PR statements, nor was Keith David among the returning voice actors. The entirety of the final lift is supposed to be Mama Odie's house. And if Splash Archive's claims are correct, the bottom most level of the Laughing Place is going to have additional scenes with Tiana and Naveen in the swamp. I don't think Disney is going to actively confirm Facilier's absence from the ride, but we have ample amounts of official and rumored evidence that he's not included.

It’s also (unfortunately IMO) outdated info from the “Louis centered” version of the ride that they abandoned.
Was something else said in the podcast to indicate that it's old information?

This is, by far, the worst decision for Splash to me. Part of the thrill of the fall is the setup of the lift. You had a whole journey of happy songs, and suddenly you go up to this eerie tune and ambience, which helped add to the thrill of the whole thing

Mama Odie isn't going to scare anyone. Going up to happy songs and ambience is going to diminish the excitement for the fall, which is the whole gist of the ride. And of all IPs, Tiana had the literal perfect song for the lift. Friends on the other side singing "are you ready" at the part might have made the fall even more exciting.

So far, this ride's exterior looks like Tiana's Giant Rotting Pile of Mulch. :depressed:

I love ToT and I love mission breakout. The tones are polar opposites. A thrill doesn’t need to be ominous. It can come from fun.

Another thing to note about lack of Facilier, Keith David was answering questions on Twitter a week or so ago, and outright said he did not do any recording on it.

One thing is for sure there will be less AAs and the addition of fog machines compared to Splash.

Disney stated there will be "dozens" of AAs by my math, this is a minimum of 24.

I doubt we will get 24.

I hope to be proven wrong.

If accurate, I just heard a claim that potentially put concerns about the AA population to rest. It refers to the ride as a whole, but especially the finale scene which was singled out specifically as having "easily as many AA's as Splash". I hope it's true. Again the source has been quite accurate in the past, especially regarding details that they are able to verify in person in a definitive way. In this case, they claim to have personally seen up to date mockups of a bunch of the scenes in the ride with characters placed. So it's not based on heresay information from someone else.

Incidentally, they also claim that the Bob Iger tour never happened, and no revisions have been ordered. Unlike the AA claims, this is technically heresay and likely won't be possible to prove. But they are 100% certain that this was a lie created to feed an agenda. Take this however you like and with a grain of salt since it's again a bit of heresay that probably won't ever be proven either way, but the source is definitely not an Iger fan and wouldn't make such a definitive comment on the matter without good reason. I myself already doubted the Iger Tour story anyway.

As always, I trust the source. Especially when what they're saying claims to be from true hands-on details they've seen for themselves. But continue to take with a dome of salt for sanity reasons. If we get definitive evidence to the contrary, i'll concede to being wrong and apologize. I realize some of this steps on some toes of people in the blogger/twitter sphere as well as in this very thread...

We all hope your source is correct.

I never believed the Iger tour story. Iger is too much of a showman to actually say, "this is boring" or whatever he was claimed to say, if he toured it, he would say "this is GREAT, PERFECT!" no matter what he was looking at.

In reality, Iger does not even care about the US parks. He loves all the foreign parks, especially China ;)

Just kidding, I thought Iger was quoted saying that TWDC was going to invest less in China. I hope so. They are going to need the money to react to Universal's EPIC

Well, there you go. No Facilier.

I don't see why they're so obsessed with maintaining continuity. They didn't care about maintaining continuity with the Ratatouille ride that ALSO takes place after the movie.

The restaurant, Tianna's Place is at the end of the movie, and the co-op is supposedly after the movie. Personally I don't really care about it being linear in relation to the animated feature, just that it be fun and have familiar characters. I guess we'll just pick one of the overhead points of light and call it Ray.

Not exactly, he said he didn't record for the Disneyland ride but with WDW TBA being months ahead the recording would have been for the WDW ride.
Split a few hairs and keep the hope alive.......

Is your source making any distinction between AAs and “animated figures” or the like?
