Magic
Kingdom
Sometime
in 2010, Mickey's
ToonTown Fair will close to make way for the Fantasyland
Expansion!
Tinker Bell's Fairy Treasures in Fantasyland closed for refurbishment March 1, 2010. The rehab will enhance Castle Couture in Fantasyland, right outside Cinderella Castle, so that it can offer Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique patrons a convenient Disney Photo Imaging location where they can have their themed portrait taken. This eliminates having to travel to Exposition Hall on Main Street, U.S.A. for package pictures. Construction is due to be finished by late March.
Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Party is on hiatus until spring 2010. The area is being renovated.
Epcot
Cantina de San Angel at the Mexico pavilion in Epcot, has closed for a significant refurbishment and expansion until fall 2010 (reopening is tentatively set for late September, but could change). The company that operates the restaurants in the Mexico pavilion, San Angel Inn, LLC, plans to open on the site a new 400-seat waterside restaurant and quick service food location "specializing in the freshly baked culinary flavors of Mexico." During the refurbishment, the San Angel Inn Restaurante and La Cava de Tequila, located inside the Mexico pavilion, and the Taqueria Del Lago, located alongside the promenade, will still be open for Mexican dining.
Disney's Hollywood Studios
The Backlot Tour at Disney's Hollywood Studios is closed now through March 27, 2010.
The Studio Catering Company at the Studios closed. It is expected to reopen on March 22, 2010.

All Star Music Resort
The All Star Music Bus Depot is currently closed for resurfacing of the area. The bus stop has temporarily relocated to two locations. Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot stops are now in the parking lot across from the Check-in Parking area (turn right as you exit the resort main entrance). There are three small white tents set up for the stops. Disney's Hollywood Studios and the water park bus stops are now to the left as you exit the main resort entrance. This resurfacing is scheduled to be completed in April.
The Breathless II boat will be unavailable until further notice due to unforeseen maintenance issues. If you have an existing reservation you will be contacted to reschedule if possible.

Star Tours -- At the D23 Expo in September 2009, then-Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo announced that Star Tours in Disney's Hollywood Studios (and at Disneyland) would be closing in October 2010. The attraction will be updated and reopened sometime in 2011. The new experience will be in 3-D, an all new ride that includes many of the new worlds and elements from the more recent Star Wars movies.
