It is important to note that there is ongoing construction at Splash Mountain, though the reason for the recently-erected scaffolding has been confirmed by Disney. Therefore, at this time, it remains unknown if the Princess and the Frog retheme is beginning or if work is being done to the ride ahead of Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary celebration, which begins on October 1, 2021.

Disney officially describes Splash Mountain as:

Gently drift through a colorful Southern bayou along with happy-go-lucky Br’er Rabbit as he looks for his “laughing place.” But be warned: Br’er Bear and Br’er Fox are in hot pursuit of this wayward hare.

Glide by over 100 adorable Audio-Animatronics geese, frogs, raccoons, possums, bees, alligators and other down-home critters as they sing classic Disney ditties, including “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” and “Ev’rybody’s Got a Laughing Place.”

Then hang on to your hats—this delightful musical cruise ends in an exciting 5-story splashdown into a thorny Briar Patch!
