Hi Adam! I was the cast member you spoke to in the Splash gift shop. It was great talking to you, and I’m glad you got the pressed pennies!

Adam, as a Disney fan always glad to hear your thoughts on the matter. Splash Mountain holds a special place in my heart as a great attraction. I agree (even though it's been a while) that Splash Mountain Orlando holds an edge to Aneheim). I'm all for change, but love the music to Walt's film Song of the South which won best original song for Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah at the Academy Awards in 1947 and James Baskett who was a tremendous actor won an academy award for his role in this film.

I'm going to miss the Zip a Dee Doo Dah Song most of all. I grew up happily singing and whistling that song, especially on Disneyland Day, and it's weird to me to now realize that such a wonderfully optimistic and joyful song is being erased from existence. And that Splash Mountain finale? Perfect example of the best of Disney. I hope they strive to replicate that same finale feeling on the new ride. Embrace the future, remember the past. 💚

Ah yes, nothing says New Orleans like a nice big mountain in the old west.

Splash Mountain is one of my top five rides at Disney World. I am really going to miss the music and the characters!

I love your videos, but I cant Disney anymore, the whole Splash Mountain thing, other attractions..Glad you were able to ride it one last time.

breaks my heart - i'll always remember and love splash mountain

Splash Mountain Works , it a ride that gives you an adventure! Maybe it's showing some age , who isn't? But it Brings Happiness and Good Memories . NO reason to totally Erase it from existing. SAD VERY Sad .. I'VE never seen it but I had the chance No Chance anymore To those who can Enjoy your last rides . PEACE to ALL..from Tammy in PA

Splash Mountain is getting fired, like everyone else recently from Disney 😂😂😂

So sad that splash mountain is closing

It hurts my heart that Splash is going away. I’m heading to Disney today for a week’s vacation, and I’m dreading having to ride it one last time. I don’t wanna see it go 😔

Thank you for the video documenting the upcoming closing of a classic Magic Kingdom attraction. At 19:45 you watched the green locomotive roll by. That is the Lilly Belle, the only mogul type of locomotive that operates on any Disney theme park railroad in the world. You also said that there are two trains. The Walt Disney World Railroad has four locomotives and their associated cars. They are the following locomotives with these wheel arrangements: Engine 1 - Walter E. Disney, 4-6-0 Engine 2 - Lilly Belle, 2-6-0 Engine 3 - Roger E. Broggie, 4-6-0 Engine 4 - Roy O. Disney, 4-4-0 Your friend was correct when he stated that all four locomotives were originally made by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia. As I was reading the comments from other viewers, I kept hearing people lamenting about Splash Mountain going away forever. Please everyone, do not forget that Disneyland and Walt Disney World are not the only Disney theme parks on the planet! There are other Disney theme parks outside of the ones in California and Florida. Splash Mountain, with all of its original "Song Of The South" themeing is still alive and well at Tokyo Disneyland. Oriental Land Company has not said anything publicly about changing its themeing. I highly doubt that Tiana will be moving into Splash Mountain in Tokyo because that would require a massive, complete rethemeing of Critter Country over there because that entire land literally was completely built around Splash Mountain. Oriental Land Company, unlike the Walt Disney Company, does not have a well documented recent history of slapping a new theme on an attraction that completely clashes with the theme of the land that it is located in. Over in Japan, they have a keen eye for detail and they only add a new theme to an attraction if it makes sense. (Of course, now that I think about it, they do have Haunted Mansion in Fantasyland which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! At least that particular nonsense has always been that way since the park opened.) So please fellow Disney fans do yourselves a favor, open your eyes and minds, and get out of the US Disney theme parks. You just might find that they do many things much better than the US ones, like keeping original themeing in their attractions. This especially applies to Tokyo Disneyland where Brier Rabbit still lives and the bride in the Haunted Mansion is still the original super creepy one with a red beating heart and she never ever utters a word. Tokyo Disneyland also maintains their attractions to an incredibly high standard. I have never ever seen any attraction operating at the two parks over there with inoperative animatronic figures and effects like what was shown in the Magic Kingdom's Splash Mountain in this video. That was an absolute disgrace seeing so many things still and lifeless in there! I know that, as Adam said, the ride is going to be completely changed soon but still that was an incredibly bad show. Thanks again Adam for the video!

Splash Mountain was always one of the coolest places to view the fireworks. Hopefully, the flume layout will remain the same and fireworks viewing will come back to the future!

BOB IGER: We’re bringing the magic back! ALSO BOB IGER: We’re eliminating ANOTHER classic ride

No way!! 😥 Love Splash Mt.

Disney, did not tale the advice of Uncle Remus; "You can't run from trouble, ain't no place that far".

That’s devastating. Splash Mountain is a classic

Noooooooooo! This makes me sad. Glad you documented it. Cheers

Adam, really enjoyed your vlog! Thank you for taking me places I'll never get to visit! Those rides look so fun. Looking forward to your next vlog!

Classic ride gonna miss this ride

I remember how happy it made me that Splash Mountain brought back Briar Rabbit without the controversy from a 50 year old film (at that time), silly because the movie had been out for so many years before it was deemed it needed to be erased. Not a good move I think, as we need to be able to look back at history and learn from it, good or bad. Short version, I think this is a mistake.

great video again Adam , well done and thank you 😊

I visited Splash Mountain at the Magic Kingdom this past Sept. I knew the planned replacement of the iconic ride was imminent and I wanted one last go before it disappeared. We can only hope that the new ride will not disappoint comparitively. But as always that determination will be at the discretion of the riders. Jusay'n, if the new ride turns out to be as lame as the Navi River Journey at Animal Kingdom, then disappointment is as imminent as the end of Splash Mountain.

I will miss Splash-Disney won’t ever be the same😢😢😢

Adam Great Splash Day Thank You for sharing.

I would have bought those pressed pennies too, since I collect pressed pennies from places I've been, I remember riding Splash Mountain many years ago, I really enjoyed it, sad to know it's leaving, enjoy it while you can, it would be fun to find the old memorabilia, we bought some Ober Gatlinburg memorabilia today as you suggested when we saw you here in Gatlinburg at the chili cookoff

You WDW videos always bring back great memories. My cousin & I were considered old enough at 15 to do our own things together (long before cell phones) while my parents, aunt, and little brother did theirs. We were going by Thunder Mtn after leaving Splash Mtn when we were shocked to see my parents group come out. Somehow they didn't know what kind of ride it was when they got on. They were pale! My cousin and I were laughing so hard

😂 noon o’ nine made me laugh 😂 Thanks Adam 😀

My favorite ride since it opened. Enjoyed watching from beginning to end. I agree that it’s a better fit at Disneyland. Interesting that Splash Mountain “Song of the South” takes place in Georgia🤔 Thanks so much for taking us along.

Great vlog thank you, I hate rides so it's lovely to see them thru you, although I love just being in the parks and would hate to visit and not walk around, so envious of you living so close. TFS

Fun fact the VIP Keys to the Kingdom tour told us the gopher that comes out of the ceiling in the last scene before the big drop says, "FSU" in tribute to one of the imagineers of Splash Mountain who is a FSU alumni.

I will miss this ride so much it was my favorite childhood ride, really sucks to see it go

Last week, was my first time my Family & I rode the Skyway! I loved it others didn’t. My sister & I drove our ECVs from MK to the Grand and we would wave to the monorail over head & some would Honk @ us! Best memories!😊

Splash was my favorite ride in MK. Also, it is the best ride for viewing fireworks.

Adam, thank you for this video. I rode Splash last at the end of September at MNSSHP when the ride was walk on. Need to get to MK soon to ride again before it closes!

awesome video as always sad splash mountain going away

I haven't been to Disney World in years but the last time I went around 2009/10 I was looking foward to riding Malestrom again just cause I had childhood memories on that ride and I was always fascinated by it as a kid but when we got to the park I was looking everywhere and couldn't find. Till I realized Frozen was in it's place I was devistated !! With Frozen in it's place it no longer had the part where you think the boat you're on is going to go over the cliff. That was my favorite part. Now they're taking away Splash Mountain another childhood memory that I hate to see go away. I'll be really ticked if they decide to do away with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Space Mountain. Then Disney world just won't be the same without them.

The ladies voice on Big Thunder brought back good ole memories. The one time I got busted on a Disney ride was my brother and I were last to ride Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland just before park close and we decided to stand up in the boat as we went down the first waterfall and a voice came over the loudspeaker, "Please SIT DOWN!" Needless to say we never stood again on any rides :)

I'm not happy at how long it will take to overhaul the ride. Possibly a late 2024 reopening? I agree with you, the Tiana re-theming will work better in Disneyland since it's close to New Orleans Square. At WDW I wouldn't mind a Mr. Toad's Splash Mountain type of thing.

I like all your videos keep going you also have funny ones as well

Great video Adam I'm going to miss splash mountain I hope presenes and the theam dose well

I was a cast member in early 90s when they first opened Splash Mountain. Seemed like such a great ride. Can't believe they are changing it.

Enjoyed the splash mountain ride through your experience, Adam. Never rode the attraction. Let’s see what new things will come with the new CEO for Disney. Enjoy your “young at heart” moments at “the happiest place on earth” for those who can afford the experience. 😁❤️🙏🏻Thank you.

That feather... obviously Donald and/or Daisy hitched a ride previously. 😊

Dang never got a chance to ride it....I gotta get to Disney someday. 😎✌️🎄 Morning Wooski I'm rockn the fanny pack too..the 90's are alive 😄

AWESOME VLOG, Adam as usual. I Love you style of vlogging. :)

I worked Disney Security in 1989. Being a rookie, I was assigned graveyard shift fire watch on Splash Mtn when it was being constructed. For awhile, I climbed all over the ride inside the mtn. Later I went up to the very top, laid down, and slept.

Omggg I ❤️❤️❤️ the fanny pack I started rocking them years ago!🙌🕺👌✌️

I am so glad my daughter and I got to ride Splash Mountain 4 times in our recent visit to Magic kingdom

Got my last two rides of splash mountain on the 16th of November at Disneyland. 😢. Was extremely sad that a wonderful ride of my childhood is closing down.

Do we have to relinquish our Song of the South DVD, CD, VHS too? Forbidden to sing Zipeety do dah, etc.

The small percent of loud voices always wins in today’s day and age. Luckily I live near by and can enjoy it a few more times.

That's a bummer Adam time changes everything lol you'll be wanting to capture this I'm Shure. Merry Christmas 🎄⛄

Best ride being ruined. My family and daughter's absolute favorite. Sad thing is, it's made for Robin Hood in both look and theme. They could've just re did the characters and made it better.

Ahh man! Time to book a January flight. I gotta make it before its gone. And now I know not to load two big guys in the front seats of the log haha 😆

Thank you Adam...

😢tears for splash 💦 ❤❤I’m going this month to dl and I don’t care how cold it is I will be riding splash 💦 ❤❤

Talk about another daily dose of Dismal Disney. I’m very disappointed in Disney.

Oh the nostalgia. 😢 Thanks Adam for taking us down memory lane one last time. Here’s to the laughing place!

Adam, just a quick note. WDW has 4 trains, in addition to thw Walter and the Roy there is the Lilly Belle and the Roger E Brogie

It’s kinda sad there will just be 2 “mountains” in Magic Kingdom now. 🙁

Effing great... I will be there exactly a week later after it closes.

Hahahaha, I'm blushing hearing Adam say "fanny" multiple times :) Here that word means a different body part :P

For a Moment I thought this was an ad for the new movie "Cocaine Bear" . Yes it's a real movie with trailers

I’m so sad splash mountain is closing

That was a nice cool refreshing splash at the end .all good things have to come to an end .thank you for sharing Adam from Universal Jamie

Disney Parks has become incredibly cheap. There is no need to get rid of Splash Mountain. Disney could have created a separate Tiana attraction without getting rid of the former. And I'm getting tired of Disney Parks taking the cheap way out by replacing an established and successful attraction with something new. For example . . . Mickey and Minnie's RR in Florida. Disney Parks could have created this attraction at another location, instead of replacing The Great Movie Ride. There is also the Frozen attraction at EPCOT. Not only did it replace a favorite of mine - Maelstrom - it looks cheap in compared to many other dark rides at the Disney Parks. And I cannot solely blame Bob Chapek for this.

Last I heard there were no plans to close the Splash Mountain in Tokyo. So there really might be one remaining version of this ride in the future.

Lovely weather ❤️😘🇬🇧

I personally am excited for the change. It's my favorite ride but at the same time it's been the same since day 1 and literally no one has seen songs of the south. My only problem is now the lines will probably double with Princess and the Frog fans but also it probably won't break down nearly as much.

SLAYER!!!!!

You have some very interesting friends.Your diet isnt going any better then mine!!!

I’m gonna miss the music 😢. At least I got my last ride in July and bought a picture of my last ride going down the drop 🙏😇.

Shame splash mountain is going, fun ride that one. Heh Adam in Australia the word fanny has a totally different meaning, lol. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Love all the pressed pennies you got

Great video. The equivalent of Casey’s Corner at Disneyland is known as Refreshment Corner. And for some reason, the menu does not refer to the chili as Walt’s.

I want splash mountain back!!!!

R.I.P Splash mountain you will never be missed 😢😢😢 🐇 🐻 🦊

Splash has always been our favorite ride. No more Zip-a-Dee-Do-Dah. Makes me so sad 😞

I'm so confused why people are politicizing the retheme of the ride with stuff that Disney has never said. The only thing that implies that is how early on in development they announced it. Nothing else.

Surprised they haven't replaced it with an attraction where you kneel for convicted felons...

I’m sad splash mountain is closing soon I saw your Facebook post saying January 23rd is last day

Never thought I would hear "Requiem for a Dream" in relation to Disney!

I’ll be at Magic Kingdom next week, so I have to ride it one last time.

When you stopped to look at the pictures inside Casey’s… I thought for sure a “… Tim Tracker ???” … comment would be heard.

Getting rid of Splash Mountain, increased ticket prices, and you can't just get an AP and GO whenever you want... They're reallllly assassinating the magic :/

Does anyone know why the water effect on the drop was turned off it’s been like that for many years it seems and it always added to the illusion

I will always remember splash mountain and that song at the end I'm so mad I want splash mountain back there needs to be water rides like splash mountain

I've never been on it. It wasn't there when I went as a child and it was down for refurb when I was at MK back in Feb2022 for the first time in my adult life.

GLAD TO KNOW WHERE YOUR FANNY IS 😂😂

Great Vlog! I agree that the Splash Mountain at DisneyWorld is so much better than Disneyland version. You can't even compare the two. Disneyland should be changed to Tiana's, that California one is just Bad, it's not maintained it has many spots of empty space,it's just bad and on the other hand DisneyWorld's is awesome

The first thing I think of when someone says "Disney World" IS the Splash Mountain ride. RIP Disney World.

I'm commenting early in the video, so maybe I'm mentioning something you do later, but as soon as I saw the fanny pack, I was thinking you'll never forget the pins to trade again...

Hey fanny packs are park essentials I always bring one.

This is sad 😥, I remember riding Splash Mountain ⛰ many times, several years ago.

Bummer...I loved splash mountain.wish they'd leave it alone..

The best part of the vid is the thumbnail! lol

People from the UK every time Adam says fanny 😂😂

Haven't you heard, everything Disney will be virtual, for 199.95 a month you can experience all parks with VR goggles. Previously purchased park passes will not be honored.

Now's the time to book reservations for the last day, if it's not too late already. Everyone will want to ride it on it's last day.
