Reading through responses elsewhere, both on this site and off, I feel weird being on somewhat the same “side” as some of the people most outraged. Yikes.
I just want a properly done refurb and no screens, scrims, and large blank areas. The recent refurbs don’t fill me with confidence. Then I read those other comments and feel like I need to slowly back into the bushes like Homer Simpson. Those are NOT my people
Why is it that hard to believe?
People have talked about the idea of a Princess and the Frog refurb of Splash for a long time. Is it that hard to think Disney had considered the possibility too? They have to have tons of concepts “in discussion”, some concepts tabled and revisited for years I would imagine.
I think the announcement timing is convenient but I can believe the concept was discussed in some fashion before this.
I have family that'd be pretty broken up over the loss of Pecos, but I *love* Cajun and Creole.Cajun Creole eatery instead of Pecos Bill would be great.
I think Disney knows why people loved Splash Mtn, and not necessarily for the characters. But just the ride elements in general. I dont think they’d mess with much of the aesthetic of the ride. I’m hopeful and I’m really hoping I’m not wrong. But for the last few hours “screens” have gone through my mind

And yet lots of people DO love that ride because of the characters.
Let's be honest....a water log ride with a drop is a dime a dozen and I am sure many of us are within a 2 hour drive of one right now. Do you know how often I ride the log ride at the local amusement park. Almost never.
It IS about the characters for many people.
People are grasping at straws because they’re upset that Splash Mountain is changing.Okay someone fill me in....what's wrong with Jungle Cruise?

I wonder how much of a spike Princess and the Frog sees on Disney+ today. I tried to get my kids to watch it today but Bluey won.
I expect some. It's not in my top five list. I still would love a Lion King attraction other than a stage show.
There are so many movies that deserve an attraction. I’d love an Aladdin motion simulator type attraction
While I like the song and the ride, it's hard to say the Song of the South was "a product of its time". It was the 1940s and it wasn't like Disney didn't know Song of the South was fully racist when the movie came out. There were many articles and complaints at the time that called it out for being racist and Disney just ignored them.
Considering the current state of Disney fiscally, I don't think we will see screens or anything big changed in regards to the overall ride itself. My guess would be new animatronics and music (obviously).
