Eudora’s Chic Boutique featuring Tiana’s Gourmet Secretsĭisneyland has just shared photos of the new Princess and the Frog themed shop at Disneyland in New Orleans Square. For all we know, Splash Mountain may not even close until late 2023 or even 2024- depending on how quickly Disney plans on work on this retheme. All we know so far is that Tiana's Bayou Adventure has been said to open in late 2024. Keep in mind this is all just my personal speculation as nothing has been officially confirmed by Disney. If you want to ride Splash Mountain before the Princess and the Frog re-theme, my recommendation would be to do so as soon as you can this year as 2023 is not guaranteed- anytime next year we could see Splash Mountain begin its refurbishment to Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Especially since Disney Legend Marc Davis, who was one of Walt Disney’s “Nine Old Men,” designed many of them. It would be a great homage to Splash Mountain to reuse some of the critters of Splash Mountain in Tiana's Bayou Adventure. In Walt Disney World, the Three Caballeros characters who appear in EPCOT's Gran Fiesta Tour were originally part of Mickey Mouse Revue in Fantasyland. In fact it's a well-known practice for Disney to reuse animatronics. The singing audio-animatronic animals in Disneyland's Splash Mountain finale were repurposed from the America Sings attraction in Disneyland from 1974-1988. There are more than 100 animals in Splash Mountain! After all, this wouldn't be the first time these critters have been repurposed. It would also make logical sense to keep many of the original animatronics from Splash Mountain as part of Tiana's Bayou Adventure as these critters would blend in nicely with the story. ![]() My speculation is that we will see it close after the 2022 holiday season, perhaps as soon as January 2023 or at least sometime in Spring 2023, to prepare for its late 2024 opening date as Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Not only is it a nice courtesy to notify guests the timeline they have left to ride Splash Mountain in its original form, they were kind enough last time to be communicative with guests which does set a precedent moving forward. This is what leads me to believe they will inform guests when the ride will close for this final transformation. Since the original announcement of Splash Mountain's reimagining to a Princess & the Frog theme in 2020, guests have panicked when they see Splash Mountain appear on the refurbishment calendar for any reason… worrying this might be the big retheme and their chance to ride the original Splash one last time is gone!īut the last time Splash Mountain was on the calendar for a general upkeep refurbishment, Disney did confirm with guests that it was just for upkeep and wasn't for the Princess & the Frog retheme. This is usually when our water rides in both theme parks get their yearly upkeep since they're not as popular in the chillier winter months. The reason I think we'll see Disney make an announcement concerning Splash Mountain's Refurbishment is because it usually receives one anyways after the holiday season. I don't anticipate that it will just appear on the calendar without a formal announcement. It is likely that Disney will formally announce when Splash Mountain will be closing for the retheming to Tiana's Bayou Adventure. This is purely just our commentary and speculation on what we might expect to happen.
