Disney Fast-Tracked Development of ‘Princess and the Frog’ Overhaul of Splash Mountain

    Published:

    In a virtual conference today, Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro talked about a wide variety of topics, but also gave some updates on construction projects taking place around the theme parks and resorts. Here’s a rundown of our coverage so far:

    In the virtual conference, D’Amaro also talked about a company-wide initiative to add “Inclusion” as a fifth key to the iconic Four Keys training that each and every Cast Member receives. To that end, D’Amaro also talked about various initiatives that Disney chose to “speed up” work on the Princess and the Frog reimagining of Splash Mountain.

    We want to make sure that we’re focusing on inclusivity for our guests as well, so we’ve chosen to speed up some of the work that we had been developing to make sure that our parks remain relevant and welcoming to all of our guests.

    For example, we announced the transformation of our classic attraction Splash Mountain to include a new storyline based on Princess and the Frog. Tiana is a modern, courageous, and empowered woman, who pursues her dreams and never loses sight of what’s really important. It’s a great story with a strong lead character, set against the backdrop of New Orleans and the Louisiana bayou.
