Disney will replace Splash Mountain with a reimagined Princess and the Frog attraction

The company said Thursday that Splash Mountain at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort will be re-themed to reflect the story of The Princess and the Frog. The move came after fans urged Disney to re-theme Splash Mountain due to the problematic 1946 film Song of the South, which the Disney film is based upon.

We're thrilled to share Splash Mountain at @Disneyland & @WaltDisneyWorld will be completely reimagined with a new story inspired by an all-time favorite @DisneyAnimation film, “The Princess and the Frog.” Learn about what Imagineers have in development: https://t.co/HyKfdDSH3j pic.twitter.com/DV6476KAVX
