For those of you who don’t know Disney world is refurbishing Splash Mountain. People are selling water from the last days of the ride. I was thinking “you have to be joking” Nope people are actually bidding on EBay to buy it
blink blink
This is why I’ll never be rich. LoL

Some peoples obsession with Disney is super unhealthy and crazy. (This can be said for a lot of other things too people are into).
But wow. And gross.

This is so freaking ridiculous. And is it really water from the ride? Or is it tap water??
I love me some Disney. I really do. But I don't understand the people losing their ever loving minds because Splash Mountain is getting a new look. It isn't gone forever. They are just rethemeing it. And getting rid of the reminders of Songs of the South which was on the racist side. And most kids these days have never seen. Adding the Tiana/Princess & the Frog theming is a fantastic idea.

I'm not surprised. That water is gross though. I've seen the holding tank on a backstage tour. It has to be drained periodically to get all the junk people throw in it out, and you always see people sticking their hands in it.

I'm so sad it closed! We are going next week for my 30th trip there. I wouldn't buy the water but I am hoping I can afford a piece of the ride IF they auction it off, I'd like a Brer Rabbit!

I have no interest in buying the water, but that was our favorite family ride. I just happened to be strolling through Tik Toc when I stumbled on a live video of the last few minutes before the ride closed. A huge crowd gathered and they cheered every time a log holding riders came down the mountain. The last few logs were filled with cast members, which was nice.
I totally understand why it was time for the ride to go. It will be fun to see what the new ride looks like.

As big of a Disney fan as I am, there is no way in hell I'd buy gross ride water!
I guess if they are selling it, there must be a market for it, but I am not that target market.

Sorry to insult anyone buying this water, but yeah...that's gross. And weird. And did I mention gross? I guess it's supposed to be a bit of nostalgia that's affordable to more average people. I even applaud someone's creativity. But GROSS! |

I have four of the Splash Mountain zip lock baggies they used to give for people to put their cell phones in. Maybe I could make enough for my daughter's tuition  |

I'll never understand the cult of Disney. Living in Southern California, I am surrounded by Disney Adults. It's an, um, interesting group of people.

It's an, um, interesting group of people. i don't understand them either. i think twice about mentioning i'm a passholder because then i get those looks. i go for a few hours, eat lunch, people watch. NO, i don't really ride rides 20x, buy arm full of merch, take pics with characters, or hunt for or leave disney memorabilia in lockers to surprise people with (oh, it's a thing). there are members i see in FB groups that seemingly go everyday. some regularly go back and forth between the california and florida parks. how? why? how much is that costing? don't you have a job to go to? it's all fascinating and scary at the same time. |
