We’ve known for sometime that the iconic Splash Mountain water ride at Disneyland and Walt Disney World were getting a major facelift. It’s a good change, as much of the depicted decor and setting was…outdated and problematic, to say the least. Instead of characters based on the pretty freaking awful and racist “Song of the South,” Splash Mountain will transform to a “The Princess and the Frog” theme instead.
First announced in 2020, the process has been slow going. Pandemic delays didn’t help.
The official Disney Parks blog has revealed the revamp has an opening date! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is set to open at Disneyland and Walt Disney World in 2024.

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
