The retheme is controversial among Guests, but one thing is certain: Princess and the Frog (2009) is making its mark on the Disney Parks. As the ride’s imminent closure approaches, fans are reminiscing over a vintage ad featuring Splash Mountain’s debut:
Not only does the 1993 ad feature the grand opening of Splash Mountain, but also $24 for one Park per day tickets and Walt Disney World Resort hotel stays for as low as $99 a night for Florida residents.

“I mean that’s $50/day in 2022 dollars. TECHNICALLY, if you buy a 10-day ticket, non-hopper, you can get in for $56/day. They could still use this lol,” @totaldvc joked.
Drop into a whimsical world filled with classic characters and songs on this thrilling log-flume adventure.
A Hare-Raising Ride
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!
