food IS a theme park
It’s not uncommon to see Disney rides close for a little while!
Disneyland
Rides often have to close temporarily to get refurbished, whether that means a complete overhaul or just some paint touch-ups and simple tech updates. Because of this, it’s important to check the refurbishment calendars before you head out on your Disney vacation, that way you’re not caught off guard!
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’ve GOT to check out that refurbishment calendar.
All-Star Sports
If there’s a ride or attraction that you’re really hoping to visit, then you’ll definitely want to check the park hours and the attraction hours ahead of time, just in case the ride is closed for maintenance during your trip. But did you know that the same can go for other offerings in Disney World, like restaurants, hotel lobbies, or pools?
Quite a few changes are coming to Disney World in the future!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve discussed the new Villains Land at Magic Kingdom, the Monsters, Inc. Land at Hollywood Studios, and the Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom, but what about EPCOT? The park just wrapped up its massive transformation, but there are still some projects to be completed…including the major update for Test Track.
It’s not uncommon for Disney rides to be closed during your vacation.
Pirates of the Caribbean Disneyland
Disneyland Resort and Disney World are home to dozens of rides each, and many of those rides are a few decades old. For safety, attractions must get regularly scheduled refurbishments to keep them up to date. Thankfully, you can check the calendars online to see which rides will be closed during your trip!
Quite a few things are currently closed in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure just officially opened, but Country Bear Jamboree is still down for refurbishment. Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade just closed permanently to become a new Disney Vacation Club lounge, and Tortuga Tavern is now seasonally closed in Adventureland. Seems like a long list, right? Well, now we’re adding another offering to that group.
Have you heard of the phrase, “What goes up must come down?”
Disney’s Yacht Club
Well, when attractions are closed, that’s kind of like a downtime, right? If we’re honest, none of us particularly fancy when the ride or show we want to experience is temporarily undergoing refurbishment and down right during the middle of our vacation trip. To that point, and since you’re still working on your 2025 vacation plans, we wanted to remind you that Disney World’s best pool is closing temporarily!
A construction disruption seems to be coming for Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
Pop Century Resort
Construction and refurbishment projects are nothing out of the ordinary for Walt Disney World. There are often several in various stages of completion happening all the time, all of which are announced by Disney. However, we’ve just caught wind of a small project the company has yet to announce.
If you’ve been going to the Disney parks for a while, you know that refurbishments happen frequently!
Disneyland Park
It’s not uncommon to have a few rides closed for short periods while they get technical updates or to see a building covered in construction walls while the paint gets touched up. It’s how they keep things fresh and new! But now, we’ve got an update about a closed store…and it might not be good news if you’re a big fan.
The start of the 2024 year is bringing about lots of CHANGES to Disney World and it seems that rides are no exception.
Tree of Life
We already knew that Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster is getting ready to close for a longer refurbishment expected to last through Summer, as well as a few other rides. Now, we’ve got another ride to talk about that will also be ready for a refurbishment over the next few days. [Read more…]
You know what can RUIN a Disney vacation when you don’t see it coming? An unexpected refurbishment!
Haunted Mansion in Disneyland
It’s always a bummer to arrive in Disney World or Disneyland Resort only to find out that your favorite ride or attraction is closed for extended maintenance. Thankfully, you can check ahead of your trip online to see which attractions will be unavailable. But as an extra precaution, we’re here to warn you about two upcoming closures!
