If You’re Going to Disney World Soon…Watch out for 5 CLOSURES!

There are a few ride, attraction, and restaurant closures in Disney World this week, and they might affect your next trip.

Magic Kingdom Entrance

To help you prepare for your upcoming trip and avoid the disappointing surprises that come with unexpected ride closures, check out this list of all the pre-scheduled closures that will affect the Disney World parks and hotels from August 20th through the 26th.

Magic Kingdom Closures

Liberty Square Riverboat

On Disney’s website, Liberty Square Riverboat doesn’t have any available times listed starting on August 21st.

Liberty Square Riverboat

This temporary closure appears to last until August 29th, 2023. This attraction closed around the same time last year, so this seems to be a regularly scheduled refurbishment.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

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

Construction

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.

A first look at a new scene and some of the brand-new characters coming to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, coming to Magic Kingdom Park, Lake Buena Vista, Fla. and Disneyland Park, Anaheim, Calif., in 2024, will take guests on a musical adventure inspired by the beloved story and characters from the fan-favorite film.

On a recent trip, we spotted the new “Tiana’s Foods” water tower up in front of the ride. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates.

Barrel Bridge at Tom Sawyer Island

Over on Tom Sawyer Island, the barrel bridge is currently closed. In fact, it’s missing completely!

Closed

A Cast Member told us that the bridge had been removed for refurbishments, and they’re not sure when it might be back.
