The good thing is all the hate is about to end or be forgotten because we have something new to hate on!!!! That pier at Lookout Cay!!!!!
TRUTH! All the money people pay for DCL and now you make them walk the mile long plank .... that is absolutely a deal breaker for me. The private island beach day is a big deal for us and I'm not walking that far in the hot sun, 2 ways. We just got back from RCI's CocoCay which was AWESOME! on every level. This was our cabin view when we had docked. I think it was about a 2 minute walk after we left ship.The good thing is all the hate is about to end or be forgotten because we have something new to hate on!!!! That pier at Lookout Cay!!!!!

RCCLโs Coco Cay is amazing!! My favourite island by far even though weโve been to Castaway Cay 4 times. Iโll take a visit to Coco cay any day.TRUTH!

Maybe, but Disney makes sure Tiana is not forgotten. They push her in merchandise, but also in Mickeyโs Friendship Fair. Prime spot in the parades, in WDW as the only POC princess and in DL with her own float. Restaurant/New Orleans area in DL. Restaurant & lounge on the Disney Wonder, themed rooms on the Disney Wish, she is usually a staple character on all ships.I know many kids have seen the film via various channels, but it's still a 15 year old movie that disappointed at the box office
I agree. There are so many reasons why this was a good choice and I'm glad Disney chose this movie.Maybe, but Disney makes sure Tiana is not forgotten.

There are plenty of disappointing box office movies in the Disney catalogue, but I do think Princess and the Frog is appreciated by many. It has memorable characters and songs. Tiana's character is different from other princesses, she is more serious. And the Disney Princess line up needs that. Some girls when playing princess and dress up are more serious, not everyone is a romantic 50s princess.
So I fully understand that Disney keeps her top of mind. And while I do think Disney could have done better with the refurb, I also think they made the right choice.

I miss Splash Mountain. I hate to be proven right, but I said from the get-go that the replacement would be inferior. Yes, the scenes look nice and the AAs are excellent, but Splash was so charming and delightful; Tiana's Salt Mine doesn't measure up. And can someone make heads or tails of the story? Is there a story?
Shhh, if people want to think the ride is trash based on a youtube video, there's no point in trying to convince them otherwise. Let them enjoy their preconceived notions. Especially if that means shorter lines for the rest of us.I felt the same way....until I rode it. I think TBA is great once you see it in person
Honestly, I hope I'll like it myself. I would prefer an attraction I enjoy than an attraction that just reminds me how much I miss the previous version.I felt the same way....until I rode it. I think TBA is great once you see it in person
I think if you just look a tiny bit deeper into these threads and the information Disney has released about this ride youโll very quickly find thereโs a story. Many people have already mentioned it here. But just so we canโt stop saying that hereโs what is written on the WDW website:Honestly, I hope I'll like it myself. I would prefer an attraction I enjoy than an attraction that just reminds me how much I miss the previous version.
But again, what's the story of this ride? As far as I can tell, there is none.
You shouldn't have to Google the attraction to find the story. It needs to be obvious to all who ride.I think if you just look a tiny bit deeper into these threads and the information Disney has released about this ride youโll very quickly find thereโs a story.

โEmbark on a thrilling journey with Tiana and jazz-loving alligator Louis as they traverse winding waterways to find critter musicians who can jam out and entertain at Tianaโs southern soiree.
This musical adventure crescendos with a 50-foot drop that leads you to the grandest celebration this side of the Mississippi during Mardi Gras season!โ
Or Wikipedia even has a nice little summary:
โThe attraction is set a year after the events of The Princess and the Frog. To help her community, Tiana has created an employee-owned food cooperative called Tiana's Foods, built on a salt dome that she has purchased.On the day that guests visit, it is Carnival season and Tiana is hosting a celebration for the people of New Orleans. She realizes that due to a mix-up, her celebration is missing a band and needs the guests' help to find one, as they join her and Louis on a trip to the bayou to search for musical critters.โ
It may not be a particularly strong story but there is one. And more so, does Pirates have a storyline? Does Big Thunder? Or Space Mountain? I never found the story of Splash to be interesting or engaging. Tbh, I didnโt even realize there was a story until people started getting upset about the retheme. Hopefully this will make your ride a bit better when you finally get on.
There are little posters and stuff in the queue explaining these details but when I rode I went through the queue so fast that I didn't even get to read them.You shouldn't have to Google the attraction to find the story. It needs to be obvious to all who ride.
