    Disney fans feel like family and a huge hug. No matter how big or small a change is, no matter if Theme Park enthusiast or Disney fan, we all celebrate and embrace what was given to us. Goodnight Splash Mountain, from one theme park enthusiast and Disney fan to another, may we embrace the memories it gave all of us. 🌊❤

    Splash was a magical experience for me. In '89 when I had just finished my freshman year in high school, our family went during the opening and that was magical. Thanks to my outgoing sister, I met a girl I fell in love with and rode in the cozy back seat with that girl. That memory was so amazing for me since that sister passed away a few years later and that ended up being my last time at Disneyland with her.

    For us, old timers that were there the day Disney opened and to see the 1st time Splash Mountain opened up in Critter Country. And then Country Bear Jamboree disappeared and Critter Country was never the same and now it's forever gone. I'll miss both those rides. Your documentary was very well done.

    It was a night i won't soon forget. Arriving later than expected, my first ride had me entering the queue at 3:30pm. Though a single rider, i had to pay respects to the entire ride. My second and final trip found me riding it, during the fireworks show, via LL that i decided to use after hearing that an early closure of the lines was eminent. As magical as it looked from the ground, seeing the pyrotechnic bursts from the ride was priceless. Finally, after spending the remainder of the night on the secret path, and then the bridge, seeing the house lights kick on after the final drops...well it was inspiring being a part of the Disneyland community as we bid farewell to a venerable ride...and walking through a ghost town of a park that will always have an abundance of magic. Great video.

I’m excited and optimistic at what Disney will do with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. I just don’t think it’s the best spot for it because of aesthetic reasons, but Disney has a plan and a vision and I trust they will not let us down!!! Goodbye Splash Mountain. I will always cherish the fun family and friend’s memories of this ride (yes this way more over others) but I’m excited to make new memories with my daughter on Tiana’s! ❤

It's sad to see it go, but the future looks bright for Tiana's Bayou adventure
