You’ve Got to See How LONG The Line Was For Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom This Morning!

By Leave a Comment

If there’s one ride that’s been the talk of the town while Walt Disney World has been closed, it’s Splash Mountain.

Splash Mountain

Disney recently announced that the attraction would be getting a full re-theming inspired by “The Princess and the Frog.” Although Walt Disney Imagineers are already hard at work on the new project, Disney told fans of the attraction they would get an opportunity to ride Splash Mountain before it shutters temporarily to make way for the overhaul.
