It's been more than two years since Disney Parks announced that Splash Mountain would be closing at Disneyland and Walt Disney World to make way for a new version of the ride based on The Princess and the Frog. Magic Kingdom's version closed down in January, but Disneyland's has remained operational. A reported closing in early May was debunked, but it turns out Splash won't last much longer than that, as the ride is now set to officially close on May 31, meaning the final day of operation will be May 30.
While that's certainly bad news for fans of the current version of the ride, fans of The Princess and the Frog looking forward to Tiana's Bayou Adventure, as the new Splash Mountain will be called, have gotten some great news. Today Disneyland confirmed that Jennifer Lewis, who voiced Mama Odie in the original film, will reprise her role for the attraction.
