Tree of Life
From time to time, various rides, stores, or restaurants in Disney World can close for refurbishment. Sometimes those refurbishments only last a few days and the rides quickly reopen. Other times, the refurbishments are lengthy, meaning it could be a few months before you get the chance to hop on that ride again. Recently, we shared an update about a Disney World ride that will be closing for a LONG refurbishment, and now that ride is officially CLOSED.
If you’re celebrating the new year by heading to Disney World in January, you might want to know what’s going to be closed in the parks and hotels.

Disney World
From the announced return of Fantasmic! in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the Festival of Fantasy Parade in Magic Kingdom to a new quick-service restaurant in EPCOT, we’ve got a lot coming at us. But, there’s some news we DIDN’T see coming! Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World last month!
Though Disney World can be a magical place, sometimes things don’t quite go to plan.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen rides shut down for technical issues, evacuated, or even closed due to smoke! Today, as we were walking through Magic Kingdom, we noticed that a popular ride was closed and being evacuated.
Planning for a Disney vacation can involve many different things, like being prepared for the weather, scheduling dining reservations, or mapping out your park days.
You will probably need to prepare for rain!
But, even if you plan everything down to the minute, there are some things that are simply out of your control. One of those things is if a ride is going to be open or not, as refurbishments do take place on different rides throughout the year. And, if you’re planning to be at Disneyland Resort in January of 2022, there are some new ride closures you should know about!
There’s lots to see and do in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, from the ever-popular Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance to all of the fun rides in Toy Story land.
Hollywood Studios
There are also some great spots to shop throughout the park, including the stores on Sunset Boulevard and those in Galaxy’s Edge. But, if you’re hoping to stop by one Hollywood Studios shop in the near future, you may be out of luck.
Disney World may be the most magical place on Earth, but sometimes, things still don’t go according to plan.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
We’ve seen rides evacuated, animatronics fail, attractions shut down due to bad weather, and more. And today, one Disney World bar has closed due to a leak.
