Mark your calendars folks, Splash Mountain will be closing SOON in Disney World!
Splash Mountain
Splash Mountain is set to be completely reimagined as a Princess and the Frog attraction.

Could another EPCOT project be on the chopping block?
The upcoming PLAY! Pavilion
The Mary Poppins attraction that was previously announced for the park has been placed “on hold,” and the Spaceship Earth reimagining has also been postponed.
