Let’s take a look at everything that will be closed in Disney World from March 21st to March 27th, 2022.Â
Magic Kingdom Refurbishments
Walt Disney World Railroad
Magic Kingdom’s classic Walt Disney World Railroad is currently unavailable. The attraction has been closed for quite some time, and it will remain closed while Disney works on its new TRON roller coaster. Currently, TRON construction is blocking a portion of the train tracks. For now, until construction gets out of the way, the railroad will remain unavailable.

We’re still waiting on an official opening date for TRON: Lightcycle Run, but we’ll continue to look for updates.

Expedition Everest
Expedition Everest — Legend of the Forbidden Mountain at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is also unavailable while the attraction undergoes a long-term refurbishment. It’s been closed since early January, and the refurbishment is expected to take about 3 months. Currently, we’re about a month away from the proposed opening date.

EPCOT Refurbishments
Souk-Al-Magreb

A while back, the shop was set to open in February, but then Disney extended the closure. While Disney has not shared any official details on when this store will reopen, we did notice that operating hours are listed starting on April 24th, 2022.
Disney World Water Park Refurbishments
Blizzard Beach Waterpark
What better way to cool off in Disney World than at a water park? Unfortunately, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is closed for seasonal refurbishments.
