A lot of work goes into keeping things running at the theme parks in Disney World!

The Partners Statue received some TLC recently

And, it’s good to stay in the know when planning your vacation so that you aren’t surprised to find something closed or down for refurbishment. That’s why we’re bringing you an update on everything that will be closed from September 6th to September 12th, 2021 in Disney World!

Magic Kingdom Refurbishments

Walt Disney World Railroad

The famous train in Magic Kingdom will continue to halt its operations, as construction over at TRON: Lightcycle Run is currently interrupting the train’s pathway through Tomorrowland.

Disney hasn’t shared any word on when the train will start making its tour around the park again, but we’ll continue to keep an eye out for updates on both the Walt Disney World Railroad and TRON!

Main Street Confectionery

The Main Street Confectionery has also been closed on Main Street, U.S.A. for quite some time now, and Disney isn’t done working on it just yet!

Disney World Resort Refurbishments

Select Disney World Resorts are also undergoing major refurbishments right now! At Disney’s Contemporary Resort, rooms in the main tower will be closed while crews work to transform the spaces with a fresh Incredibles-themed look. Plus, down in the main lobby area, The Wave…of American Flavors is being completely reimagined for the 50th Anniversary so it will remain closed this week.

Work is also continuing in the lobby area of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort. Disney is in the process of updating the guest arrival process, so the port cochere and the main lobby area have been closed and are anticipated to remain that way through late October.
