River Along Orleans

Take a look at this photo, and what's missing?  It's the iconic stump of Chick-A-Pin Hill from Splash Mountain, which was refurbished into Tiana's Bayou Adventure last year. The mountain looks odder now, because it seems like more of a mound. It's greener and lusher, but it's also lost its recognizable profile.  In time, we'll get used to it. And in the meantime, it's still a pretty scene alongside the Rivers of America, especially in that hazy, late afternoon light!
