Unless your point is that groomers aren't that bad, they're no worse than your average parents who take their kids to Disney for vacation. See how easy it is to turn hyperbole back on you?
I’m saying grooming kids and paying someone to groom kids are both bad.

Do we still get stupid bimbos flashing their tits for the camera?
If so, I don’t care if Brer Rabbit goes away.

Unless I'm missing something on my way to the CBD this retheming was more about virtue signaling than it was a refreshening..

If you are shrunk to frog size, you could potentially get “falls” of the right scale here.

Am I understanding this? Did Disney just shut down one of their best and most popular rides in the name of wokeness?

of all the things to bitch about with Disney, this is one of the least. It’s a ride themed with a movie that hasn’t been commercially available in over two generations. Kids right now, and more than likely their parents, have never seen or heard of Song of the South.
This, honestly. We all have a bone to pick with woke Disney, but this ride/property simply were no longer viable. I'm 34. Know about Song of the South, but never watched it start to finish. Same for my wife. Our kids don't even know what it is.
They DO know Tiana. This is a no-brainer move for DisneyWorld. Frontierland already has a tough time competing with more ballyhooed areas of the park.

I don't think it's nearly as popular now as it used to be.

Racism is an industry. I'm not sure what's going to happen when they run out of school, streets, statues and rides to rename or tear down.

It is pretty neglected as far as Disney standards go, but so is Pirates Of The Caribbean. POTC's popularity was boosted again by the recent movies.
I don't think Disney was going to rerelease a movie to help Splash Mountain.

Exactly
I'm honestly surprised the ride hung on as long as it did. But yeah with no hope of being revived to cultural relevance, there was just no reason to keep it.Posted on 1/23/23 at 1:17 pm to Flats
They should just name everything on premises after something in Scandinavia so it doesn't ruffle feathers...
Who am I kidding, it would be "too white."
