Song of the South was never released on home video in the United States, and is not on the Disney+ streaming service, where some movies have a disclaimer saying they include "outdated cultural depictions." In 2020, Disney CEO Bob Iger said Song of the South is "not appropriate in today's world." Why was 'Song of the South' the inspiration for Splash Mountain? In 2019, The Guardian's Scott Tobias wrote that there are "plenty of examples of pernicious racism in Song of the South that are right there on the surface: the minstrelsy of the animated characters, particularly Br'er Fox the slang in the dialogue a wandering chorus singing traditional Black songs and, most notoriously of all, a fable where Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear use a tar baby to fool and ensnare Br'er Rabbit." He also noted that during the film, Uncle Remus reminisced about life before the Civil War, saying "every day was mighty satisfactual" and "'twas better all around." She shared both video and photos of the evening.At the time, the NAACP and American Council on Race Relations objected to the movie and its stereotypes about Black people. Tracy filmed the attraction as fireworks burst in the sky above. Others were cheering on the logs as they splashed down. There were plenty of people waiting to experience the attraction one last time.

As the night wound down, cell phones came out with lights to say goodbye. In the end, the final riders for the attractions were appropriately cast members that worked the attraction. Throughout the day, Disney PhotoPass was set up outside of the attraction taking pictures of guests. Quite a few guests angled to be the final riders aboard the attraction. At the time of the park closing at 11:00 PM, the attraction had a line at of 175 minutes. This was fairly consistent throughout the day. As the day continued, the attraction’s line held steady at around 200 minutes.
