There is also nothing better than watching fireworks over Cinderella\u2019s Castle as you plunge into the briar patch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-demise-of-splash-mountain\">The Demise of Splash Mountain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Splash Mountain closed at Disney World in January of 2023, and in Disneyland on May 30, 2023. In recent years, the &#8220;Song of the South&#8221; film backstory of the ride has became more well known. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie depicts slavery and black stories in a way that is widely agreed to be inappropriate in today&#8217;s world. In fact, the former executive secretary of the NAACP,&nbsp;has been quoted as saying the movie &#8220;helps to perpetuate a dangerously glorified picture of slavery.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Petitions and outcry have existed for years to encourage Disney to redo the ride in a more progressive way. in 2020 Disney released a long awaited announcement: Splash Mountain would soon undergo a lengthy refurbishment and retheme to Tiana&#8217;s Bayou Adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiana&#8217;s Bayou Adventure will be opening in Disney World in June 2024, and in Disneyland sometime in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-vivid-red-color has-css-opacity has-vivid-red-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DW-newsletter-call-out-box-small-1024x644.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9376 size-full\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DW-newsletter-call-out-box-small-1024x644.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DW-newsletter-call-out-box-small-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DW-newsletter-call-out-box-small-768x483.jpg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DW-newsletter-call-out-box-small.jpg 1416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><noscript class=\"ninja-forms-noscript-message\">\n\tNotice: JavaScript is required for this content.<\/noscript>\n<div id=\"nf-form-7_1-cont\" class=\"nf-form-cont\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-labelledby=\"nf-form-title-7_1\" aria-describedby=\"nf-form-errors-7_1\" role=\"form\">\n\n    <div class=\"nf-loading-spinner\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n        <!-- That data is being printed as a workaround to page builders reordering the order of the scripts loaded-->\n        <script>var formDisplay=1;var nfForms=nfForms||[];var form=[];form.id='7_1';form.settings={\"objectType\":\"Form Setting\",\"editActive\":false,\"title\":\"newsletter\",\"show_title\":1,\"allow_public_link\":0,\"embed_form\":\"\",\"clear_complete\":1,\"hide_complete\":1,\"default_label_pos\":\"above\",\"wrapper_class\":\"\",\"element_class\":\"\",\"form_title_heading_level\":\"3\",\"key\":\"\",\"add_submit\":1,\"currency\":\"\",\"unique_field_error\":\"A form with this value has already been submitted.\",\"logged_in\":false,\"not_logged_in_msg\":\"\",\"sub_limit_msg\":\"The form has reached its submission limit.\",\"calculations\":[],\"formContentData\":[\"firstname_1708627958059\",\"lastname_1708627961218\",\"email_1708627964620\",\"yes_sign_me_up_for_the_monthly_disney_email_from_seconds_to_go_1708628004470\",\"submit_1708628081304\"],\"ninjaForms\":\"Ninja Forms\",\"changeEmailErrorMsg\":\"Please enter a valid email address!\",\"changeDateErrorMsg\":\"Please enter a valid date!\",\"confirmFieldErrorMsg\":\"These fields must match!\",\"fieldNumberNumMinError\":\"Number Min Error\",\"fieldNumberNumMaxError\":\"Number Max Error\",\"fieldNumberIncrementBy\":\"Please increment by \",\"fieldTextareaRTEInsertLink\":\"Insert Link\",\"fieldTextareaRTEInsertMedia\":\"Insert Media\",\"fieldTextareaRTESelectAFile\":\"Select a file\",\"formErrorsCorrectErrors\":\"Please correct errors before submitting this form.\",\"formHoneypot\":\"If you are a human seeing this field, please leave it empty.\",\"validateRequiredField\":\"This is a required field.\",\"honeypotHoneypotError\":\"Honeypot Error\",\"fileUploadOldCodeFileUploadInProgress\":\"File Upload in Progress.\",\"fileUploadOldCodeFileUpload\":\"FILE UPLOAD\",\"currencySymbol\":\"&#36;\",\"fieldsMarkedRequired\":\"Fields marked with an &lt;span class=&quot;ninja-forms-req-symbol&quot;&gt;*&lt;\\\/span&gt;
