Our “Laughing Place” is changing – Splash Mountain to Become Princess and the Frog!

Our “Laughing Place” has always been near and dear to us.  My wife visited Walt Disney World the year that the ride opened (1992), and remembers standing in lines that stretched for hours just to take the plunge.  Every visit we ride Splash Mountain multiple times (assuming it wasn’t down for repairs or too cold).  Since our kids have been born we have introduced them to the ride as well.  Unfortunately our youngest has not ridden it yet (she was still too short on our last visit two years ago) and she will now never experience the original ride… and we are ok with that.
