Divisive? Since when? The last time I checked The Princess and the Frog was based the the racial practicing blackface spoof of the Frog Prince called The Frog Princess.
Divisive? LOL, to who white liberals? As a POC we don’t find it offensive, you keep up the great divide with articles like this that no one takes seriously.
Disney abandoned The Song of South back in the 90’s seems they are as guilty as Ron DeSantis for trying to force canceled culture. The message from The Song of the South is
that color should not bear no the way people are treated that everyone should be treated the same !. I was raised if you don’t like a movie don’t watch it, if you don’t like a ride don’t ride Spalsh Mountin was another only Iconic but would of the rides people had to ride.I can say sorry Disney The Princess and the Frog movie sucked and I will not be supporting any merch or go on the ride. Sad day but seems Disney has gone from the happiest place on earth to we just want your money. Walt would never tolerate his BELOVED Disneyland park to be in the state it is.
And they want to know why no ones coming! Cancel tiana put it back as it was. Disney is ruining everything instead of making it better! Remiving this infamous ride is racist and demeaning! Will not return!
So true. But it goes beyond that, look at the restaurants. The food have become smaller portion for the same prices. They’re telling us what we can and can’t eat the quality of the food has become horrible. I dare a board member to go to Disneyland or Disney World, like undercover boss style and eat at the restaurants, especially Carnation Cafe. Carnation cafe used to have the best meatloaf i’d ever had in my life now. Then. No longer carrot, the chicken fried chicken is small and taste horrible, the green beans looked like they were picked from the trash. You would have full parks again if you would listen to your most devoted fans. Between the rides you’re taking away that everyone loves. And your restaurants becoming less but for more $$, you’re your trashing Walts dream. Woke isn’t the way respect is. I am not prejudice against anyone, It isn’t Disney’s place to educate children, it is the parent’s place. I know Walt built Disney to keep changing but do it for the right reasons. You can agree with me or disagree with me but I am not here to argue.
Splash mountain was one of my favorites. So they are taking that away and putting Tiana Really? I don’t care the color of people . People of any color can be racial. White, black, Hispanic You are what you make yourself inlife
Kevin you said it right. I will not ride the Tiana ride. Splash mountain was a highlight to my family. We drive 1600 miles to go to Disneyland. Disney has really messed up on this one I’m very disappointed in the way Disney is going.
Walt would be appalled. I agree with Kevin. Disney has messed up
This. This is the one thing that p*sses me off with all the cancel culture. The ride might have came from a movie that definitely had some racial elements to it due to when it was made. However nothing about Splash Mountain was racial in any way. I already miss it! And to replace it with whatever prince frog movie??? Come on, Disney can do better. Ok, well maybe these days they can’t. So sad.
It’s very sad to know that in today’s society we need to close attractions in Disneyland and Walt Disney World over small things where all it is is animals singing Zippiti Doo Dah Zippiti and calling it racism or about slavery. How many of you actually watch the Song of the South has to with indenginous rabbit. Plus non of characters in the movie are slaves it takes place after the Civil War. Now you want to make ride where the evil character uses black magic a voodoo person. Get your facts straight teach today’s society right from wrong don’t take things away that were enjoyable and never thought as putting anyone down.

Disney, Get your facts straight teach today’s society right from wrong don’t take things away that were enjoyable and never thought as putting anyone down.
How can a fox be divisive? He’s a Disney character! Disneyland was a lot of fun last year, very crowded, yet a lot of things were closed down due to lack of staff. Disney, if you treat your employees badly, you sure won’t earn their loyalty or respect!
Splash mountain and Song of the South were favorites of our family. There was nothing racist about any of it, as our family interpreted it as entertainment.
After many long vacation trips to Disney World, we are sick of the woke agenda. We won’t return.
That Penny Machine needs to be violently ripped out and burned in a pile along with all of the Song of the South plush and books.
p.s. Kevin – DeSantis is not “cancel culture” because he does not think teachers have a need to speak of their sexuality in grade school. Used to be that teachers kept a professional distance regarding their personal lives vs. their professional. Why is that bad?
I love Splas Mountain, Disney is bowing down to Woke. There is no racist in Brair Rabbit, Song of the South. Best ride e er for kids it is colorful and beautiful. The Princess and the Frog movie sucks. All the changes you are making are driving people to go to Universal.
Disneyland is no longer the park that Walt Disney created. He wanted it to represent the Mid-West where he grew up, and the fantasy land of youth, where children could be anything they want to be.
The closure of Splash Mountain by the Groomers who run Disney is Woke Communist Liberalism at its worst. I am glad that my late brother and l experienced Splash Mountain in the early 2000s before its closure by ANTI-AMERICAN Marxist liberals.
You gotta love Disney erasing one of the great African American performances of all time, because some people think the film glorifies slavery, even though it takes place after the Civil War and Uncle Remus is a share cropper, not a slave.
We are super disappointed with Splash Mountain being changed (ruined in our opinion). It was a great ride and now it is gone for foolish reasons. Disney needs to wake up, this is one of the reasons we have not been back in four years!

Exactly!
The Princess and the Frog is equally racist in its depiction of Cajuns.

Song of the South is NOT racist. Try watching the movie before you put it down. Changing Splash Mountain to a racist theme doesn’t make sense.
Maryann
I think Disney is seeing what cancel culture is doing. Record low attendance in the parks. People will speak with their money.

I wish they could backtrack on this whole nightmare. Unfortunately too much damage has been done to restore Splash Mountain.

I won’t be returning until Splash Mountain is restored. Not worth my money or time going to Disney anymore. Seems like a lot of people feel this way.
