Disney park replaces classic sign at Splash Mountain, sparks backlash

Woke execs at Disney are at it again.

The House of Mouse has removed the only surviving “Have a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Day” sign at the exit of Splash Mountain at Disney Tokyo, eagle-eyed observers said.

The original sign had the phrase in both Kanji and English. It was replaced with a sign reading, “thanks for dropping in!” — in English only.

The company claimed the sign change was made because of a sponsorship with the chemical and cosmetics company Kao Corporation.

The phrase “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” comes from the Disney film “Song of the South,” which has long been considered racist. WDWNT

But Disney detectives know better, the Daily Mail reported.

The real reason, critics suggested, is so Disney can distance itself even further from the “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” tune, which comes from their 1948 film “Song of the South.”

The flick takes place at a plantation in Georgia where Uncle Remus, an elderly Black worker, tells tales about Br’er Rabbit, Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear to a kid named Johnny, who’s visiting his grandma.

The film has been slammed as racist and come under fire for its stereotypical portrayal of blacks.

Disney has never released the film on any home format in the United States, and it’s never been available on its streaming platform Disney+.

The move is just the latest in Disney’s “woke” agenda, which includes stopping staff from using gendered “boy/girl” greetings to a gay kiss between two female characters in the 2022 film “Lightyear,” to replacing the dwarf actors in 2025’s “Snow White” with CGI — a move that outraged “Game of Thrones” actor Peter Dinklage, who has a form of dwarfism known as achondroplasia.

‘You’re progressive in one way and you’re still making that f***ing backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together, what the f*** are you doing man?’ he said on WTF with Marc Maron podcast.

Splash Mountain closed in both its US Disney parks in 2023.

Now the tune — which won an Oscar for Best Original Song in 1948 — has been tossed into the ever-growing junk heap of discarded Disney classics.

“They’ve really lost it,” commented one critic.
