A Magic Kingdom attraction is reopening next week after its brief temporary closure. Let’s take a look at that reopening and what will still be CLOSED from August 27th through September 3rd so that you’re prepared for your next trip.
Several attractions and restaurants are closed in Disney World, but for most of them, we know approximately when they’ll reopen. For example, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (formerly Splash Mountain) will be open in late 2024. However, there are three attractions that are closed right now with NO opening date or even approximate timeframe announced!
Magic Kingdom Train Station
Aside from those closures, there are a few more that do have opening dates, but not in the near future. Let’s take a look at what will be closed from August 20th through the 26th so that you’re prepared for your next trip.
DON’T WORRY. The popular Haunted Mansion ride has reopened in Magic Kingdom after a brief closure last week. But what’s still CLOSED in Disney World?

There are four attractions and two restaurants that are currently closed at the parks, and most of them have no official reopening date set. Let’s take a look at what will be closed from August 13th through the 19th so that you’re prepared for your next trip.
There are a few very important (and specific) rules to follow at Disney World. For example, adults can’t dress up like Disney characters while they’re in the park (but Disney-bounding is OK), and you cannot bring any balloons into Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But sometimes what you can and can’t do in the parks is dictated not by the rules but by temporary CLOSURES!

Next week, there are six things that you CAN’T do in Disney World, not because they’re against any rules, but just because those attractions and restaurants are temporarily closed. Here’s a complete list of those scheduled refurbishments so that you’re prepared for your upcoming vacation.
There’s SO MUCH to do in Disney World — you can hop on the new TRON Lightcycle / Run roller coaster, check out the Broadway-style “Festival of the Lion King” show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and eat around the world at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. But there are a couple of things that you CAN’T do in Disney World next week due to ride and attraction closures.

Disney occasionally has to shut down attractions, restaurants, and certain parts of hotels in order to update and refurbish them. To make sure you’re prepared before your upcoming trip, here’s a complete list of the closures scheduled for next week, from July 30th through August 5th.
Are you ready?
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival starts tomorrow, July 27th, 2023! We’re going to be there trying out all of the new food and drinks and bringing you tons of reviews throughout the day. But, a few of this year’s Outdoor Kitchens have a delayed opening, so we’ll have to wait a while before we can try them out. We know that Bubbles & Brine, Char & Chop, Wine & Wedge, and Swirled Showcase will be opening on September 22nd, 2023 in celebration of the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary. We’ve also had a look at the menus of these booths to come. But, there are still a few details about these booths that we have been waiting on. This week, however, Disney dropped a new clue about where one of these booths might end up — and it involves a mysterious renovation of a former dining location.
Next week is a SUPER important week in Disney World. Do you know why?
EPCOT
It’s because the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival begins on Thursday, July 27th! On that same day, two EPCOT snack spots that have been closed for a couple of weeks now are expected to reopen, likely with some festival-inspired eats. However, there are other restaurants, attractions, and water parks that are currently CLOSED and will remain closed throughout the week. Let’s take a look at all the scheduled closures for the week of July 23rd through the 29th.
