Hopefully that means Campos will return for Tiana, too! I know some people thought he might not return for anything, since he's no longer acting anyway.

Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
I'm glad to hear Bruno Campos is returning. I wish Charlotte and Eudora were part of the ride too, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
I don't care so much about Eudora, but Charlotte's reactions to everything would be hilarious. I don't know why, but I just had the idea of her being turned into a swamp creature herself at the beginning of this (maybe by Odie or something because she's moping that she's not married or whatever) with antics happening in the background of the ride, only to be turned back at the end or something. Idk.

Re: Charlotte- they probably don’t want any white representation in the attraction which might trigger some guests. There’s enough of that in plenty of other attractions.

To be honest, it did cross my mind that they didn't include Charlotte because she's white. She's the only important character from the film that's been excluded.

Source: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/ ... adventure/Today, I’m excited to give you a first look at a new scene and some of the brand-new characters we’re creating specifically for this attraction. In Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, you’ll join Princess Tiana and jazz-loving alligator Louis during Mardi Gras season as they prepare to host a one-of-a-kind celebration for the people of New Orleans. This new scene is the thrilling moment you first drop into the bayou and encounter some friends both new and familiar.
As you can see here, fireflies will light up the night and invite you deeper into the bayou … almost like they’re waving you forward. What you can’t tell from this rendering – so you’ll just have to trust me on this one – is that beautiful zydeco music will fill the air. Zydeco is a special blend of rhythm and blues that was born in Louisiana, and when you hear it, you’ll feel like you’ve truly stepped into Tiana’s world. Here you’ll find Louis, who explains where this amazing music is coming from. Tiana made some new friends out here – a band full of adorable critters, including an otter, a rabbit, a racoon, a beaver, a turtle and others. The band members sing and play instruments made of natural materials they found in the bayou. It feels like they may have a bigger role to play in this story … but we’ll just have to wait and see on that one.
Like so many musical genres, zydeco brings together the sounds and styles of many cultures. We wanted that spirit reflected in this scene (and throughout the attraction) so that all our guests feel welcome to join in the celebration. It’s emblematic of what we’re always striving for with our attractions – bringing people of different backgrounds together through timeless Disney stories. This new musical adventure provides us with a song sheet to write that concept into reality.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will take you on a journey inspired by the story and characters from the hit film, picking up where that story left off. In preparation for this new experience and the many exciting updates ahead, Splash Mountain at Walt Disney World Resort will be closed starting Jan. 23, 2023, so we can begin the next phase of this attraction’s development. Additional information about Splash Mountain at Disneyland Resort will be shared at a later date.

Source: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/ ... adventure/At a young age, Tiana developed a deep passion for cooking, and began to dream of one day owning her own business. Her father, James, taught her that good food brings folks together. One of the most exciting parts of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is that we’re going to see where Tiana’s life has taken her following the success of Tiana’s Palace, a restaurant she had dreamed of owning and worked so hard to make come true.
Walt Disney Imagineering is creating an original, next chapter story for Tiana. Within the attraction queue, guests will discover that she continues to grow her business with Tiana’s Foods – an employee-owned cooperative. Combining her talents with those of the local community, Tiana has transformed an aging salt mine and built a beloved brand. The endeavor began when Tiana purchased the salt mine and the area surrounding the large salt dome it operated from. With the help of her mother Eudora, Naveen, Louis and fellow owners of the cooperative, Tiana revived the old salt mine and the surrounding land, growing a wide array of vegetables, herbs and spices for her recipes. This multi-faceted enterprise has turned the aging salt mine into a space that has come alive. Complete with a boutique farm and both a working and teaching kitchen, Tiana’s Foods is where Tiana and her colleagues create all sorts of new products that they are bringing to the world, including a line of original hot sauces.
Tiana wants to give a big thanks to her family and friends and the entire community for all the support they’ve given her by throwing an amazing party during Mardi Gras season. When it turns out there’s been a bit of a mix–up with the party preparations, Tiana invites us to meet her at Tiana’s Foods to help with the missing ingredient for the party. When we arrive, we may see that Tiana spruced up the company’s facilities with vibrant art from local artists. Food for the party is being prepared and beignets are being loaded into crates for the celebration. All kinds of preparations are underway for the journey into the bayou with Tiana, along with new and familiar friends from the animated film. Picking up where that story left off, Tiana continues bringing people together with Tiana’s Foods, another treasured meeting place to spend time together and celebrate a diverse community. Tiana is also working with cooperative members to teach gardening and cooking to children of all ages, and inspiring other women to run successful businesses as the brand grows nationwide.

Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
I'll be in The Magic Kingdom for New Years Eve this year, so it looks like giving the current version a ride is now at the top of my list since it'll be closing within a month from then. It' kind of bittersweet because I am looking forwards to the new Tiana version although my expectations are still low for it's execution. This artwork looks nice though!

Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
I don't like the "critters." Reminds me of the weird attraction in A Goofy Movie. I would've preferred that this (and I thought it was going to be) focused on Naveen and Odie along with Tiana and of course Louis....

Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
The Br’er Possums are certainly cuter than that ugly critter playing the bass fiddle. It looks like the critter I killed last week in my garbage can.

Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
I think the critters are cute..
Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
I think they look cute, too, although I hope at least some of the animatronics from the original Splash stick around, even if the main trio obviously shouldn't.

Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
I'll preface by saying I couldn't see any images if there were any in the article, only the text:
I get why she would buy farmland--but a salt mine??? I'm not sure I'm crazy about the idea of Tiana running some kind of huge grocery business that goes nationwide and sells things at the grocery store.... Her dream was the (one) restaurant. It would make more sense for her to be opening several restaurants around the state or country rather than going into the grocery business, wouldn't it?

Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
To be honest, the new backstory doesn’t grab me. It almost sounds too educational (forming a farming cooperative with members of the community) for a theme park entertainment (and preachy, just my opinion). It honestly reminds me of when Disney California Adventure first opened and the sourdough bread bakery and the tortilla factory and the winery were actually considered “attractions”. I kid you not. Of course, they were almost always empty of guests who were flocking to Soarin’, California Screamin’ and Grizzly River Run.

Disney's Divinity, can you see the 2 article pics from these links?
https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/02/TianasB ... xPhoto.jpg
https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/02/TianasFoodsLogo.jpg
And, at least to me, it doesn't sound like a grocery store. More like a farm/kitchen/cooking class...

...and like a farmer's market (so kinda like a grocery store but just selling homemade sauce......growing a wide array of vegetables, herbs and spices for her recipes...boutique farm and both a working and teaching kitchen...
I mean, in the real world, a lot of people sought out to have just a small business and then they expanded, so if Tiana's bringing food and opportunities to her community, growing her business, I think that's reasonable.create all sorts of new products that they are bringing to the world, including a line of original hot sauces.

Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain
Oh, yeah, thanks! I like the picture of Tiana with her friends or are they employees? I almost wonder if the critters we saw before might be these characters who get transformed just like Tiana did in the movie?
As for the grocery thing, I guess the whole "Tiana's Foods" made me think of "Lowe's Foods" when I first read it.
