It’s almost time for Valentine’s Day, and before you know it, spring break will arrive later this year! You know what they say, “time flies when you’re having fun!“. In Disney World, these winter months provide the perfect opportunity for some routine refurbishments before things ramp up in the spring.
If you’re visiting Disney World during the first week of February, it’s a good idea to see what will be closed during your vacation. We’re sharing a look at everything that will be unavailable in Disney World from January 31st to February 6th, 2022.
Magic Kingdom Refurbishments
Walt Disney World Railroad
If you follow along with Disney news, you probably know that the Walt Disney World Railroad in Magic Kingdom is closed while Imagineers work on the new TRON roller coaster. As construction continues, the Walt Disney World Railroad will remain closed this week.
While we wait for an official opening date for TRON: Lightcycle Run, expect the railroad to remain closed until Disney makes the announcement!

Splash Mountain
No, this closure is not related to the Princess and the Frog transformation that will eventually re-theme Splash Mountain — this is just a routine refurbishment! Disney tends to close Splash Mountain during the cooler months to work on sprucing up this popular attraction!
The attraction closed for routine maintenance, but it is set to reopen soon! By February 11th, 2022, Splash Mountain should be back up and running.

EPCOT Refurbishments
Souk-Al-Magreb
The EPCOT World Showcase’s Morocco pavilion is finally finishing up a refurbishment! We’ve been unable to shop in the fan-favorite pavilion for several months now.
On February 6th, you’ll finally be able to shop in Morocco again! Make sure to bring extra money if you’re hoping to take home some unique souvenirs.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Refurbishments
Expedition Everest
Expedition Everest — Legend of the Forbidden Mountain in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is still closed! This thrill ride closed for a lengthy 3-month refurbishment on January 4th.
The Disney World website currently states that the closure will last through mid-April 2022. We’ll keep our eyes out for updates, so stay tuned!

Disney World Water Park Refurbishments
Blizzard Beach Water Park
Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is closed for the season as Imagineers work on refurbishments. The park needs to be in tip-top shape when the warmer weather comes, so winter is the perfect time to close the park.
A reopening date has not been announced quite yet, but if you’re itching to visit a water park, Typhoon Lagoon Water Park recently reopened!

Disney Resorts
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
If you’re staying at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, keep in mind that the Flippin’ Fins Pool (which is located in The Little Mermaid section of the hotel) is currently closed.
The closure is expected to last through late February 2022, but don’t worry! Both the Big Blue Pool and the Cozy Cone Pool remain open for guests.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
While we’re on the topic of resort pool closures, the Samawati Springs Pool at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village will also be closed for guests this week while it continues to undergo refurbishment.
The refurbishment is expected to end in April 2022. In the meantime, guests looking to hit the pool can head over to the Uzima Springs Pool at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Jambo House.
You can learn more about the pool closures here!
