Overview
- Guests noticed the change when Splash Mountain reopened on February 13 after a month-long closure, with the exit sign now reading “Thanks for dropping in!”
- Kao Corporation ended its Splash Mountain sponsorship on November 1, 2025, and the attraction’s official page no longer lists a sponsor.
- Tokyo Disneyland remains the only park operating Splash Mountain in its original form, as U.S. versions have been rethemed to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
- There has been no official retheme announced in Japan, and reports point to Oriental Land Company’s licensing arrangement with Disney and cost-sharing questions as factors.
- Observers cite a pattern of incremental distancing that includes the late‑2024 closure of the Hoot & Holler Hideout shop, reduced use of related merchandise and music, and now the wording change.
