UPDATE: Note that the closure was delayed to February 21st, 2023.
WATCH OUT! One of the most popular roller coasters in Disney World is CLOSING this week for a long refurbishment.
But as this coaster closes, a different attraction is finally reopening after being closed for a LONG time. Here’s a complete list of the temporary closures in Disney World from February 19th through the 25th.
Magic Kingdom Closures
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
This popular coaster closed on January 23rd, and it’ll remain closed until late 2024.
Disney is re-theming the ride to give it a Princess and the Frog theme. When it reopens, it’ll be called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.
Tomorrowland has lots of construction projects going on right now. Most of the attention is on the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster (opening April 4th), but a nearby gift shop is also getting some work done.
The gift shop at the end of Space Mountain (called Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.) is being refurbished now. Disney hasn’t announced a reopening date for this shop yet.
Enchanted Tales with Belle
Over in Fantasyland, Enchanted Tales with Belle is FINALLY reopening this week!
In fact, it reopened TODAY, on February 19th, 2023.
Check out a recent store change at Magic Kingdom.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios Closures
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
This stage show about The Little Mermaid has been closed for a long time in Hollywood Studios.
Disney hasn’t announced when or if the show will reopen.

EPCOT Closures
Cool Wash
This little snack kiosk near Test Track has been through a few different renovations. We previously saw a new sign installed that said “Refreshment Station,” but recently we noticed that the sign has been removed.
Disney may be working on a new plan for the space, so we’ll keep watching for any more updates.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Refurbishments
Kali River Rapids
Kali River Rapids closed in Animal Kingdom on January 9th, and it’s going to remain closed throughout this week.
The water ride is showing operating times once again starting on March 17th, so it will likely reopen on that date.

Disney Water Park Refurbishments
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
Typhoon Lagoon closed on November 13th, 2022, and it remains closed now. Disney hasn’t announced a reopening date for this water park.
In the meantime, you can still visit Disney World’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, which reopened (with some updates!) as Typhoon Lagoon closed.
