January is right around the corner, and that means lots of changes are about to happen in Disney World.
EPCOT
Park hopping is going back to normal, the Disney Dining Plan is returning, and there’s so much in store for 2024 as a whole. If you’re visiting the parks in January, you need to know that one ride will be closed for a whole day during the month!
Frozen Ever After is one of the most popular rides in EPCOT, which is why it’ll be a big deal when it’s closed on January 24th.

How do we know it will very likely be closed? The ride isn’t showing any times for January 24th, but times return to normal on January 25th.

Could this mean they’re doing a little maintenance on the ride? Possibly. Or maybe it means Disney needs to do something inside the attraction that guests can’t see. Regardless, we encourage you to keep this in mind when you’re planning your January 2024 trip.
