Why Splash Mountain Closed at Disney World
Splash Mountain closed permanently at Walt Disney World in January 2023. The closure followed broader changes to Disney theme park attractions based on public feedback about the ride's original theme and imagery.
What Replaced Splash Mountain at Disney World
The ride reopened as Tiana's Bayou Adventure in late 2024. The new attraction keeps the log-flume format but shifts the theme to Disney's "The Princess and the Frog," with updated scenes, music, and characters.
What Guests Can Expect Now
Tiana's Bayou Adventure features new animatronics, a slower-paced story, and the same large final drop as Splash Mountain. Wait times vary by season, and Disney recommends checking the My Disney Experience app for current operating hours.
