What if…Magic Kingdom was built today?

It's interesting that the Bears and Splash got a pass for not existing in the same timeline or location but Tiana's get constantly dunked on for it... I wonder what the difference is...

For example... we KNOW for a FACT that Country Bear Jamboree (the OG one) takes place after the year 1928 and the building is styled like a Tennesse building.

Song of the South takes place in Georgia, and as the story is literally named the SOUTH. It is a story passed through the Southern US+ the Carribean. Which part of that is the American frontier. Let's not even mention when/where Tom Sawyer would take place because I fear you could not handle the idea that all of the attractions of Frontierland are based on different regions of explored America.

But Tiana gets the hate?

The Frontier officially ended in America in 1890. So country life in Georgia in the late 1800's fits the Frontier theming way more. Princess and the Frog meanwhile is more of a city centric story, because many scenes take place in New Orleans in the 1920's.

And when it comes to Country Bears, it's music style says it all. Country Western. Whereas Princess and the Frog is more Jazz based, which again happened in the city.

Luckily the ride takes place in the bayou and not New Orleans! Also Country Bear Jamboree takes place confirmed in 1928 or later as it’s established that the founder passed away in 1927. The hall itself is established to be built in the 1898 so by your logic, the original owner must have retired 2 years after building this and everyone just acts like he died even though he’s clearly dead as there is a memorial picture of him hung in the room.

Plus of course, big thunder mountains railroad was built in the later 1890s, however that’s not when you ride the actual ride. Ton Sawyer takes place in 1840 in Missouri. I would love to hear your take on how 1840s Missouri is the American frontier in addition to 1928s Tennessee while 1927 Louisiana is out of the question?

Still, it’s in a bayou; and the original movie is largely set in an effing city! It’s almost as out of place as Cars is. I’d argue it is just as misplaced as Cars if we discuss the tone of the land. What’s next, Marvel? You would not be defending the ride if Tiana was a Marvel character.

I would if she was a Marvel character from the same time frame established throughout the rest of the land (1840ds-1930s)

Where the original film is set doesn't matter since Georgia is also not the Frontier. Unless you want to argue that Georgia (one of the original colonies) is the American frontier?

Are you arguing Splash belongs in Liberty Square? Tone wise, Liberty Square is one of the most serious and gritty lands Disney has ever made.

If you're arguing that Tiana's doesn't fit in Frontierland, I'm arguing that Tom Sawyer, Country Bears, and Splash all didn't fit either. Simple as that. None of those attractions take place both in the Frontier geographically or timeline wise. The only attraction that CAN even take place during that time is BTMRR but even that one is easily explained to take place in the 1900s instead.

Ya know what, Tiana’s works great in Galaxy’s Edge.
