The revamped ride follows other changes to offensive tropes in Disney attractions.

This summer, Disney said it would update Peter Pan’s Flight, one of the theme park’s original attractions, to remove a scene involving caricatures of Native Americans.

At Disneyland Resort, that will mean a cash infusion of at least $1.9 billion into an expanded footprint with additional attractions, shopping, dining and entertainment options.

During the company’s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings call Thursday, Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston said that early bookings for next summer were “positive” and that other theme parks and attractions opening up in Florida had “generally been beneficial to us.”

If we can agree that Disneyland is, unlike a film or a television series, a living environment — a place born of one era but striving to be welcoming to subsequent generations — then it stands to reason that its attractions must change with the times.
