Splash is by far my favorite ride. Has there been any news on when they may take it down for the re-theme? I hope it's still open during our March 2022 trip. I wouldn't think they would take a major attraction like that down until Tron and the Railroad got completed and back up and running. But what do I know? Thanks.
 
From the sounds of it, it will still be a while. Here is a quote from the VP of Magic Kingdom in an interview back in August when asked about it:

“I’m in a lot of meeting right now regarding Splash Mountain, and of course, our Guests haven’t seen any changes yet, that’s going to take some time. The sequence of these things is that the decision can be made many many months even years before any of that will be seen on stage. So it’s going to be a little bit of time to reimagine Splash Mountain.”

With the 50th just starting and running for 18 months, I don't see them shutting down Splash for the refub while that's going on. But I could be totally wrong.
 
Likely won't close until most of the animatronics are finishing up being built for the retheming. Since they don't have to build from scratch, they can wait till most items are ready to transition over so the time from start of refurb to reopening is minimal.

Since they're still on the design stage of every scene (based on art work coming art), odds are it'll be till after the 50th.
 
I have a feeling they are going to give a long advance warning for when it is going to close so they can milk people coming to ride it and buy more merch before it goes away. I would guess it won’t go down until after the 50th celebrations are over.
