Amid last year’s national reckoning with racism and equity, rumors emerged that Disney was forming a Diversity and Values Review Team to address, er,
problematic attractions. Now, as the company confirms the second attraction in less than a year will be updated, we’re learning new details regarding Disney's internal review.
At the top of the leaked list was Splash Mountain. Within two weeks of the list going public, Disney confirmed that the attraction would get an overhaul to celebrate its first Black princess, Tiana. At the time of the leak, insiders noted that the public list wasn’t complete and they expected updates to other attractions in the coming years, most notably the Jungle Cruise.
