Now that Splash Mountain is officially closed forever in Walt Disney World Resort — and on its way out, in an equally-permanent fashion, in Disneyland Resort — Disney fans are moving past their mourning and turning their attention to the Princess and the Frog ride that will be replacing the Magic Kingdom classic. We have been learning, bit by bit, about what ...

This week, a rumor is going around the internet about a considerable change possibly coming to Frontierland in the Magic Kingdom.

Work continues full steam ahead in Frontierland and once again, we take to the skies for a little peak at what’s going on behind the barriers.

Princess Tiana, the animated heroine who works towards creating her dream New ...

Splash Mountain’s rapid transformation at Walt Disney World just hit another small but extremely noticeable milestone. Only shortly after learning that the log-themed boats were being removed for refurbishment, even more-recent photos are now showing that all of the water has been cleared from the attraction.

The transformation of Disney’s Splash Mountain appears to be moving speedily along at The Walt Disney World Resort, as just days after Frontierland’s landmark attraction closed its doors, the ride vehicles were spotted being removed from the attraction for reasons not yet clear. For around 30 years, Disney World Guests boarded the eight-person logs and were whisked away to the ...

Splash Mountain may be gone, but the controversy lives on. An outlet slammed Disney for its decision to close the popular fan-favorite.
