NEWS: Iconic Magic Kingdom Attraction To Close for Refurb SOON

Well, a lot is happening in Magic Kingdom right now.

Magic Kingdom

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened earlier this year, but Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be closed in 2025 for almost an entire year for a refurbishment. We’re already starting to see some construction happening around that ride. On top of that, a new Cars expansion is coming to Frontierland, which will permanently close Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. Also, an entire new Villains land is set for the park at some point. Now, MORE change is on the way. A classic Disney World attraction will be closing soon for refurbishment.

If you’ll be visiting Magic Kingdom soon, we’ve got a closure in Adventureland to warn you about: Swiss Family Treehouse is not showing any hours for November 18th on the Disney World website. This generally means that an attraction will be closed on that date and beyond.

The good news is that this closure is a relatively short one — the attraction is showing hours again on December 20th. So it looks like it will only be closed for a little over a month.

Swiss Family Treehouse

The Swiss Family Treehouse is a walkthrough attraction that takes inspiration from the 1960 Disney movie, Swiss Family Robinson. It originally debuted in Disneyland in 1962, but was an opening day attraction in Adventureland in Disney World in 1971. If you haven’t had a chance to experience it yet (trust us, KIDS love this one), you’ll want to add it to your must-do Disney World list. Reach the summit of the 6-story-high treehouse, and you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of Adventureland and the rest of Magic Kingdom.
