Not just for the parks, but for travel and media as a whole. However, I'm with you. My guess is that with so many projects in progress (Ratatouille, Avengers and Tron to name a few, plus the front have of Epcot overall) and with them being cash depressed, the Splash Mountain re-theme maybe out a couple years. I'm sure they intend to follow through with the plan, but my thought is that its more of a PR move to keep them in good graces with the public.
    Oh good. I've been teasing my friend that he has gotten out of going on Splash Mountain on 3 different Disney trips now. There was no way I was going to let him get out of the 4th. Then this came along. :\
    I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

    You must be the left.

    At this point, bulldoze splash mountain and rebuild 20000 Leagues Under the Sea..Though maybe put better ventilation.

Certainly never once thought about race or stereotypes as we tried to save the rabbit from the wolf
    My two cents. *If* they have to change splash and the company seems determined to do so.....change Anaheim's to princess and the frog.....and WDW's to Moana. Why? Well New Orleans square is right next door and could be moved to include Splash theoretically. World's....all they need to do is extend the Adventureland boundaries to include splash, while leaving BTMRR still in a newly redistricted frontierland. Disney is already about to do a huge referb on the Poly making the rooms and resort moana themed. The cherry on top would be making Splash Moana themed...both from a marketing standpoint and a guest standpoint. It also helps the Moana Soundtrack was co-written by Lin-Manuel Miranda of Hamilton fame and we all know how successful hamilton was for Disney +. Lastly....Hawaii/Adventureland theming allows for having a "mountain"
