I agree with pretty much all of this!
I’m still hopeful that some of Facilier’s friends may precede Mama Odie before the final drop, adding a bit of suspense before she comes to our rescue.

Looks magnificent to me (it's subjective though obviously)

They still haven't switched on the pink glowing lights on the water lilies yet, assuming they didn't cut that detail from the render. Which hopefully they haven't...

I actually think they have, once. I think @Drew the Disney Dude may have caught it? Or someone did...

I mean, they just turned on the bottles for the first time ever yesterday, and Charita Carter mentioned them in a interview just a month ago... patience is key

Possibly (probably), though I hope the general lighting package on the mountain as a whole is tweaked further as well (like I said, a bit less blue would be appreciated around the top). I think quite a few of the lilies probably still need their pads attached as well.

While I'm glad they did cover the railing (again this was always a given that they would never leave that thing exposed), it still needs a lot of work. I don't want to jump to conclusions and assume it's done, because it's highly likely it isn't. But in its current state, it looks awkward. There's something....off about it right now. I struggle to describe why, but it differs noticeably from either the model or render. There needs to be more than just tufts of straight grass, it also needs the different kinds of shrubbery and ferns that were present too.
Again, it's very plausible this just isn't done yet. Would not surprise me. The foliage covering the rest of the mountain went through a lot of continuous and drawn out work and tweaking after it was first attached. Pruning and adding detail where needed.

A nuanced opinion…….is that allowed here?

Thanks for sharing.
Here's another nuanced opinion:
This retheme was unnecessary. Splash was great.
BUT, the animatronics for this attraction look like they will be the very best of anything WDI has done globally.
From my incomplete perspective, this attraction looks to be better than Frozen Journey at Tokyo DisneySea.
My main concern is the storyline (it maybe a bit too simplistic), and if the ride path/experience will feel organic to said story, or if it will feel like an obvious retrofit.

To start, I realize what I'm about to say is a pipe dream... But, it sticks with me.
My biggest disappointment with this is the opportunity a new build could have been. Leaving aside the co-op story, the more I see of this - the more I wish this would have been MK's Blue Bayou. Having Tiana's Palace with a large "patio" overlooking the "Mississippi" or "Lake Pontchartrain" as it wanders off into the Bayou. Then an attraction like this mirroring the scale of DL's Pirates. It could have been the ultimate animated film dark ride, given another must do restaurant and given MK the "answer" to Pirates people always mention when comparing to DL. And, the stories and themes would have been different enough to not feel repetitive, especially if it anchored a NOLA land or mini-land.
I just think this would have been a true showcase for what PatF and Tiana could be. And, it's tough to not feel the shoehorn with this redo for me.

I think of things like this and then think to myself I should be in WDI. But then I would probably get denied as my ideas are too “big” and the other dreaded B word “budget.” Oh well.
