Yes, I was there the day it re-opened... a FULL WEEK EARLY!
Several folks were thanking the load-CM for getting it open so early...
she was laughing and saying, "You're welcome!"
So, the next time someone posts the very common question, "Does Disney ever open rides that are being refurbished earlier than posted?"... We can answer, "Yes, they sometimes do!"
But Splash Mtn. was opened ON the day it was scheduled to reopen...
Happy to say that the turtles are now floating on jets of water at the lowest cellar position, and the other water effects in that area are all working...
BUT, Brer Rabbit still does NOT HOP around that fence like he used to!!!
I do agree there, too!
I wonder if they opened early to accomodate the "dance teams" that flooded into WDW Friday (and had a special "party event" that night)?
Maybe they'll do some paint-work during the next "lull" time (I can only HOPE!)
