food IS a theme park
Kali River Rapids at Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been closed since October 6th for its annual refurbishment, but that’s all changing soon!
Kali River Rapids
This ride typically closes during the fall so that Disney can do some routine maintenance, and this year was no different. But, we’re happy to report that after a two-month-long closure, Kali River Rapids is finally reopening.
It’s that time of year in Disney World when rides and shows are CLOSED for refurbishment. Everyone needs a little break — even Disney World attractions!

Luckily, some refurbishments wrapped up pretty quickly. In fact, the Skyliner refurb was finished EARLY! Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is closed for an extended refurbishment, and the Country Bear Jamboree is getting ready for a MAKEOVER! There’s one Disney World attraction over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom that’s been closed for a while, and now, we have a clue about when it could reopen. Let’s take a peek!
One ride in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is going to be temporarily CLOSED in early 2024.

If you’re planning a trip for January of next year, make sure you take note of this closure!
Right after the new year, crowds typically die down at Disney Parks (at least slightly) and Disney takes advantage of that to make changes and refurbish rides and other areas.

2023 will be no exception. While most Disney fans have their eye on the permanent closure of the classic (and controversial) log flume ride Splash Mountain at both Disney World and Disneyland, there are some temporary ride closures you also need to be aware of.
It’s not unusual for rides to get refurbished in Disney World.
Kali River Rapids has reopened
With 50 years of wear and tear on some of the longer-running attractions, it makes sense that they would need a touch-up every once in a while. Disney World’s water rides tend to need those refurbs more frequently than others, and one of them just reopened after a long one!
