I, too, am outraged by Disney's plans. Despite Disneyland and Disney World being places of magic and imagination, I refuse to suspend my disbelief enough to allow an unspecified tribute to a character from a fictional country. It's just not realistic.
Now hold my magic wand while I get my picture taken with a 6 foot tall talking duck.

I'd be more upset if Song of the South wasn't boring. Had a genuine curiosity in the film and its a snoozefest.
Rebranding Tower of Terror to Guardians of the Galaxy was way worse and that's coming from somebody who really likes GotG |

Before Splash Mountain closes, fans can buy some light-up ears to remember the ride.

Disney Parks has announced that they are going to speed up the process of re-theming the ride. If they are then guests at Disney World must have very little time left to go on the ride. Maybe they won't even get to say farewell to it when Disneyland re-opens.

Jess Harnell, the voice of Brer Rabbit for Splash Mountain, shared his thoughts on the ride getting a retheme.

People should stop giving snowflakes everything they desire.
So what if someone found something offensive about it? I can find offense in anything if I look hard enough. |

Disney doesn't have to retire Song of The South, as it is already irrelevant.
They just want to push some modern merch. Nobody looks to Disneyland as a historical time capsule. |

Here's what Carmen Smith, executive creative development and inclusion strategies for Walt Disney Imagineering, had to say about the re-theme.

A Disney World fan is tired of the park being so woke and retheming rides like 'Splash Mountain'.
I love Disney World, but the wokeness is ruining the experience Disgruntled Fan Blasts Disney World For Changing Rides, Says Wokeness Is Ruining His Favorite Attractions; Hollywood Responds The person in this video from Septemeber 2020 thinks that Disney Parks beginning to plan the Splash Mountain retheme to The Princess and the Frog probably didn't happen in 2019 like the press release stated or just after George Floyd's murder. He thinks it's possible that since Disney at first thought The Princess and the Frog was going to be this mega success and start a new renaissance as The Little Mermaid did that this idea was first pitched about a decade ago. However, while the movie did begin a string of critically acclaimed movies for the main animation studio, it wasn't worth putting the money into the idea at the time since the film was not a blockbuster hit like they thought it would be. 5:55 to 6:12 |

A year after the announcement and we still don't exactly know when 'Splash Mountain' will close or when 'The Princess and the Frog' retheme will re-open. All of the details can be found here in the video.
In short, 'Splash Mountain' at Disneyland will most likely be closing this winter and the new rethemed ride will probably open in the fall of 2023 at the earliest. Things over at Disney World in Florida are a little more complicated. 'Splash Mountain' will probably remain open there for most of the park's 50th anniversary celebration and close in early 2023. The new ride probably won't open until 2024 or 2025. |

So apparently it's going to take some time before The Princess and the Frog retheme to Splash Mountain will be done according to Magic Kindom Vice President Melissa Valiquette.

Hhahahahahahaha!
Way to show how woke you are Dinsey! If I didn't know better, I almost could bet that they just want to wait until this woke insanity dies down, so everyone will forget what exactly Disney had promised and they won't need to spend millions to re-theme anything. |

And here is a video of Disney Imagineers talking about the ride. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...-and-the-frog/ |

Anika Noni Rose, the voice of Tiana, says that the ride will open in 2024.
https://insidethemagic.net/2022/06/a...n-opening-kc1/ I’m thinking she means the Disneyland version because a lot of sources say that one is further in development than the one in Disney World. |

un-necessary
don’t really see the point of replacing well established characters cause a handful of commies are offended by it, that song was catchy! could of just given princess and the frog it’s own unique, original ride instead of some hand-me-down, are black people not good enough for disney to invest in an all new original ride attraction? and what are they gonna do about that big white mountain called matterhorn?
social justice warriors got disney by the balls… sad! fine, whatever. just hope they don’t decorate the whole park in gay pride stuff for the whole month to “honor” gay pride… little kids don’t need to see that crap. “everything woke turns to s**t” - DJT |

Disney won’t confirm or deny that the ride will open in 2024 at either park. They say that more details will be revealed at the Essence Festival of Culture, which runs from June 30 through July 3.

The ride will be titled 'Tiana's Bayou Adventure'. It will open at both Disneyland and Disney World in late 2024.

The model for the ride has been updated at the D23 Expo. I will try to post the pictures later if I can.
