Don’t Let These CLOSURES in Disney World Catch You Off Guard

Watch out! There are a couple of attraction CLOSURES that will affect Disney World this week.

Cinderella Castle

Check out this list of all the pre-scheduled closures that will affect the Disney World parks and hotels from October 29th through November 4th.

Magic Kingdom

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

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

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

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.

New mural

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!

It’s missing!

A Cast Member told us that the bridge had been removed for refurbishments, and they’re not sure when it might be back. The bridge disappeared several months ago, but we’re still hoping that it might be back before the end of this year! We’ll be sure to let you know about any updates.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

The Barrel Bridge might return by the end of 2023, but we have less hope for the Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show in Hollywood Studios.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

This show has been closed for a LONG time — since the pandemic-related closures of 2020, in fact.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

Disney hasn’t announced that the show is permanently closed, but they also haven’t given any updates about a possible reopening. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that it could return soon!

Disney World Hotel Refurbishments

There’s a big construction project happening at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, as a new DVC tower is being built. You might see or hear construction if you’re staying at that hotel.

Over at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, some of the guest rooms are being updated, and the lobby is also getting a refresh.

Also, there are a couple of NEW restaurants coming to the BoardWalk: The Cake Bake Shop and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs.

Disney Water Park Refurbishments

Disney’s Blizzard Beach

Disney World’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is closed for refurbishments. Disney has announced that it will REOPEN on November 6th!

Melt Away Bay at Blizzard Beach

Typhoon Lagoon — Disney World’s other water park — is currently open but stops showing times on November 5th, so it’s likely that this one will close as Blizzard Beach opens.
