Diehard Disney fans are selling water scooped from the flume of Splash Mountain on the last day of operations at Walt Disney World, like it’s holy water blessed by the Pope at the Vatican.
Expect Disneyland visitors to scoop up water souvenirs and wait in equally long lines when Splash Mountain finally closes after a 34-year run.
Disneyland’s version of Splash Mountain will also undergo a Princess Tiana makeover — but the Anaheim theme park has not yet announced a closing date for the attraction. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in 2024 at Disney World and Disneyland. The reimagining of the Splash Mountain rides will remove thematic elements related to “Song of the South” — the controversial 1940s live action/animated film criticized for perpetuating racist stereotypes that has been disowned by Disney.
The twin Tiana’s Bayou Adventure rides will tell an extension of the “Princess and the Frog” story that picks up after the final kiss between Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen. The new backstory for Splash Mountain will follow Tiana and Louis the trumpet-playing alligator as they prepare for their first Mardi Gras performance.
