WATCH OUT for These Ride CLOSURES When Planning Your Disney World Trip

We see lots of temporary closures in Disney World, when rides have to shut down for technical issues or bad weather. But sometimes rides shut down for longer than a few hours, so you’ll need to watch out for those long-term closures as well!

To help you prepare before your next vacation, check out this list of the closures in Disney World from April 23rd through the 29th.

Magic Kingdom Closures

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Splash Mountain closed on January 23rd, and it’ll remain closed until late 2024.

Disney is re-theming the ride to give it a Princess and the Frog theme. When it reopens, it’ll be called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. On a recent trip, we noticed that the tree stump at the top of this ride has been removed.

We’ll keep an eye out for more updates.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Closures

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed a while ago for the start of a long refurbishment.

This coaster will likely be closed for at least a few weeks, possibly a few months. Disney announced that it should reopen in the summer of 2023, although they did not provide a specific reopening date. For now, it’s scheduled to be closed at least through mid-June.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

This stage show about The Little Mermaid has been closed for a long time in Hollywood Studios.

Disney hasn’t announced when or if the show will reopen.

One ride at Hollywood Studios is CHANGING soon.

EPCOT Closures

Cool Wash

This little snack kiosk near Test Track has been through a few different renovations. We saw a new sign installed that said “Refreshment Station.”

Disney may be working on a new plan for the space, so we’ll keep watching for any more updates.

Disney’s Blizzard Beach

Disney World’s Blizzard Beach Water Park has closed for refurbishments. Disney hasn’t announced how long this closure will last.
