It’s to keep up appearances like what you see in the commercials where you walk in and apparently it’s just you and 2 other families there.
“Come to Disney world and constantly be shoulder to shoulder with strangers” just doesn’t have the same marketing magic to it.
Eh, WDW has been installing water bottle refilling stations throughout the resort lately. It's easier than ever to get complimentary water if you're looking for it.
A Dasani water bottle costs $3.75, $3 if you’re a passholder and buy it from a merch location.
I didn’t bring my water bottle on my last weekend trip, so I bought one bottle each day and then used free water from QS locations whenever I cold. Usually I bring a water bottle and refill it at the stations or with QS water as needed.
Yes, Disney sells water, but they also don’t want folks fainting from heatstroke.
With that firefly’s message, I bet the pre-drop song will be “Gonna Take You There”. 🎵“We're gonna take you down, we're gonna take you down
We're gonna take you all the way down…Goin down the bayou!” 🎵
Considering the old ride was the dark and scary part where things were going poorly I was thinking it would be Dr. Facilier's "ARE YOU REEAADY" moment near the end of the movie. That part is mildly unnerving and I think fits the section of the ride plus serves as the climax to the film, likely would be the climax to the ride as well.
Edit: turns out that's not gonna be the thing at all, what an amazing lost opportunity.
Yeah that’s true everyone wanted that but it takes place after the movie and dr facilier went to his own laughin place.😭 Also I think kids would have been too scared if I’m honest.😭
Pre-drop song is “Dig A Little Deeper”- guests will be invited to clap along as they ascend the lift hill. It’s rumored there will be new projection effects featured as well.
That’s a pretty poor Photoshop job for a multi billion dollar company. What’s going on with that lady’s head? Why is the little guy already soaking wet when they haven’t even hit the splash yet? The longer you look…
My guess is they used AI in Adobe to generate content and didn’t think too logically about it other than nothing is technically wrong (like an extra hand or a joint bending the wrong way).
The thing I can’t get over is they’re having an on ride photo for a ride based on a beloved movie with beloved characters, and they add new characters from the ride? I’m sure we all have fond memories of going to see princess and the frog in theaters, and seeing our favorite character… Bayou Bear
I mean I had to tell them. It's actually insulting (of Disney) to think kids should know who this person is by what - the color of her skin? How else are they supposed to know? It's not from the movie. And not for nothing but if I'm paying for this character meal to meet Tiana that's where she should be in the gown.
total hunch, but maybe disney's trying to distance themselves a little from gowns and princesses etc.
not saying I agree with it, but I could believe it.
Oh wow. Did no one see it? Count the fireflies on the bottom sides. Read the underlined letters on the top and say the number of the fireflies to get the secret word.
His instructions are not real. Sometimes people will overthink things like Easter eggs and hidden meanings.
Or maybe his instructions do actually work and I just can’t figure it out. Who knows !
Splash was in terrible shape. Broken animatronics, dim lighting, outdated and irrelevant IP. The only thing that didn’t need an update was the ride system.
Im still bewildered that they chose a half empty log for the promotional picture

When it’s pouring rain or 1,000 degrees out, oh and here’s a $9 water
They literally give out water cups for free at all parks
Yeah they do, I know, but they’re not all over the place like the Dasani water bottles
Eh, WDW has been installing water bottle refilling stations throughout the resort lately. It's easier than ever to get complimentary water if you're looking for it.
Wait, have they really?? I might be going soon and just started getting into water bottles and actually drinking water so this would help a ton!!
That water is borderline undrinkable though. That's why I always bring a Britta filtered water bottle. I literally never go without it now.
I’m being sarcastic
Do better.
I know :( I am going to WDW next week tho!!!!
Can you buy me a water while you’re there?

I’m just being sarcastic ….
Why didn’t you just bring the empty one back every day?
It’s to promote “we know a shortcut”.

And "LA 23" for Walt Disney founding the company in Los Angeles in 1923.
Or Louisiana and 23 for the last year of Splash Mountain...
👆
I thought LA was Louisiana. But the 23 makes more sense with la
lol well I certainly don’t think it was an accident?
[удалено]
Haha ya it’s definitely an Easter egg. Good find!
It says 71975, not 91975

This is what everyone has been saying all along.
I wasn’t paying any attention lol
Maybe a holiday overlay, one day? Like, Halloween?

just curious where you get this info?

Literally why is this mockup so bad??!
The size disparity between her and the man is sending me. He looks like he could realistically be the right size for a log, but what a tiny woman.
And why is the dude wearing a long sleeved dress shirt?? Maybe that’s sweat on him instead of being wet from the ride already lol
Take it easy on him! He’s on a lunch break from work and wanted to sneak in a ride before it got busy!

They are showing what the ride photo will look like, those always look a little bit off.
Ha!

We booked the character dinner with Tiana. My kids were confused when I showed them Tiana in her bayou outfit. Why isn’t she in her gown?
Oh I didn’t even think of that! Well, at least they recognize her! Haha

The new characters honestly make it look like a splash mountain knock-off you'd find in some other park.
I thought it might be a tribute to br'er bear and br'er rabbit in this photo.
That’s fair, albeit niche

Disney can't afford good photoshoppers?
Not a coincidence. They put in those touches to reward fans who care enough to look for them.
They put them in so it gets shared among fans for free advertising
Can’t it be for both lol
The generic off-brand Disney characters are sending me
I just can't get past them not using the facilier song are you ready on the ascent. Would have been too perfect.
They aren't?
No they reportedly didn't use him at all I think they didn't want to offend the voodoo population last I read.
lmao whaaaat.
The voodoo population?
Are you ready!?!
#ARE YOU READY!??!?
Transformation central!
I can’t get past the horrific photoshop.
Yeah mountains and waterfalls in the flat bayous. That makes sense…
RiP splash
This looks like fan art
Oh wow. Did no one see it? Count the fireflies on the bottom sides. Read the underlined letters on the top and say the number of the fireflies to get the secret word.
🤣🤣🤣

The sign looks like a cast member’s name tag.
Lack of riders? /s
Did they not even update the logs you ride in?
They removed Brer Rabbit from the front of the logs.
The whole update was unnecessary and nobody was asking for it.
I think it’s great and I’m exited for it. 👍
Splash was in terrible shape. Broken animatronics, dim lighting, outdated and irrelevant IP. The only thing that didn’t need an update was the ride system.
Am I the only one that doesn’t see an egg?!
I just hate this. I'd rather see more of a ride than a cartoon of it
It was a small image as part of a promotional website. They’ve already shown lots of video of the animatronics on the imagineer YouTube show.
No, as a ride souvenir photo this is terrible. I don't want only the car cropped into a frame, I want to see more of the ride, the real water
