HEADS UP! 3 Fan-Favorite Disney Attractions Will Temporarily CLOSE in January

Disneyland Resort is always being updated and undergoing changes, and it looks like 2025 will be no different!

Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland

We are already seeing planned refurbishments included on the calendar, and we want to make sure you know what will be closed soon.

We want to make sure you are aware of some upcoming ride closures at Disneyland Resort! Ride closures happen frequently throughout the year, but it is always a good idea to know what will be closed during your trip to avoid disappointments. It is never fun to be really looking forward to an attraction only to find out it is closed during your trip!

Disney California Adventure

Grizzly River Run and Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind will both be closed beginning January 6th, 2025, in Disney California Adventure Park. That means the last day to ride these attractions before they close will be January 5th. However, we don’t know an opening date as Disney has not officially announced anything, and the current calendar only goes through January 14th. We know that both attractions will be closed through AT LEAST January 14th, as they are still listed as closed for refurbishment on that day.

Grizzly River Run

Additionally, the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland Park will be closed for refurbishment beginning January 7th to remove The Nightmare Before Christmas overlay. While this closure happens every year right after the holidays at Disneyland end, we want to ensure it doesn’t take you by surprise. The removal of the overlay typically takes between 10 days and 2 weeks. Currently, the calendar also shows Haunted Mansion as being closed until at least January 14th.

Haunted Mansion Holiday

The Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe will also join the list of temporary closures and will close on January 7th. There are quite a few closures to look out for at the beginning of next year, and we will be sure to keep you updated on the opening timelines for the attractions and Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe! Additionally, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln will be closed for a lengthy refurbishment as it gets ready for its debut as “Walt Disney — A Magical Life” in 2025.
