If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland Resort in early 2024, you’ll want to pay close attention!

Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind
Disney parkgoers have had a tough go of it recently — between an earthquake that shut down dozens of rides temporarily and the fiasco of someone jumping out of a boat inside “it’s a small world,” there really isn’t much left that could surprise us. But Disney’s latest announcements might be the one thing that could really throw a wrench in your plans, so come with us to see what attractions will be temporarily CLOSED in 2024.
Disneyland recently released a few temporary closure updates that could impact your early 2024 vacation. Starting in early January, we’ll see refurbishments at Blue Bayou Restaurant and several of the park’s rides & attractions.
