Sometimes, Disney closes certain attractions for maintenance or refurbishment.
Here at AllEars, we like to keep you posted on these closures, so you know what to expect while you’re in Disney World! Today, we’re bringing you a refurbishment update on all the attractions scheduled to be closed from March 15th through March 21st, 2021.
Animal Kingdom Refurbishments
Kali River Rapids
Kali River Rapids closed this January for refurbishment. Disney will usually perform routine maintenance on its water rides during the winter, when demand for them is lower.
It’s expected to reopen on April 2nd!

Magic Kingdom Refurbishments
Walt Disney World Railroad
The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for over 2 years — construction on TRON: Lightcycle Power Run is currently blocking its path around the park!
The railroad is unable to open until TRON construction makes significant progress. We don’t know when that will be, since Disney hasn’t announced an opeing date for TRON, but our best guess is 2022.
Check Out This TRON Update!
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover
The PeopleMover has been since closed March 2020. Its reopening has been scheduled and then pushed back multiple times! A few days ago, we spotted it moving along the track…but only because a Cast Member was pushing it.
The PeopleMover is now scheduled to reopen on April 4th, 2021.
Here’s What We Know About the PeopleMover!
The Hall of Presidents
The Hall of Presidents is currently closed to install an audio-animatronic figure for President Joe Biden. This refurbishment happens after each new president is elected.
Disney hasn’t announced when the show will reopen, but we’ll keep you posted!

The Swiss Family Treehouse closed on March 12th for a quick refurbishment.
It’s due to reopen on March 26th, so we’re not expecting too much work to be done! Of course, we’ll let you know if there’s any changes.

At the pool, Kiki Tikis Splash area is closed for refurbishment until the end of March. And over at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, the Big Blue Pool is also undergoing construction. It’s closed through early April.

This is another example of WDW upper level management not caring about guest satisfaction. If you already don’t have enough places open to spread out the crowds then why do you close more attractions before you fix something else. There was no reason to close down Hall of Presidents so soon. It could have been open until it was time to make the change then be closed for a week or maybe two, not months. Disney World is not losing money they have chosen to reduce the service and blame it on the pandemic. Unfortunately the front line cast members are the ones who have to hear about it. Management should stop counting their bonuses and get out with the guests.
Going May 4-12.
