Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Thrill seekers — this is your reminder that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is closing on February 20th. This Aerosmith themed coaster will be under refurbishment until sometime in summer 2023.

Disney World Pools
The winter season comes with recurring closures each year. With less people swimming due to the cold weather, it makes for the perfect time to do some touch-ups on Disney World pools.
The Lava Pool waterslide at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort closed for refurbishment at the beginning of January, but it is set to open in early February. The pool is still open during this time.

The Feature Pool and Whirlpool Spa at Disney’s Contemporary Resort closed in early January and will be closed for refurbishment through early April 2023.

Not sure any of those would ruin a trip. Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster would be a disappointment (and it is leading to even longer lines throughout Hollywood Studios), but I can’t say not riding it would ruin a vacation (even if you are a diehard Aerosmith fan!)
