Disney has removed the iconic Adventureland sign in Magic Kingdom. Is this just a refurbishment or have “modern sensibilities” struck again?

Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is changing—dramatically. Big Thunder Mountain remains under refurbishment, construction walls are up around Pirates of the Caribbean and Frontierland, and the only remaining nod to America’s frontier history seems to be the Country Bears, which now highlights modern Disney songs. The Rivers of America is nearly drained, leading some to wonder if current Disney leadership has little reverence for America’s frontier-era history.
