2 Popular Rides Will Be CLOSED All Week in Disney World

If you’re visiting Disney World soon, you need to be aware of a few important ride CLOSURES happening at the theme parks right now.

Two fan-favorite rides are closed, along with a few other shops and attractions. Here’s a complete list of the temporary closures in Disney World from February 26th through March 4th.

Magic Kingdom Closures

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Splash Mountain 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.

Most of the attention in Tomorrowland 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.

Check out the PROBLEM you need to prepare for when visiting Magic Kingdom.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Closures

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed a few days ago for the start of a long refurbishment.

This coaster will likely be closed for at least a few weeks, possibly a few months. Disney announced that it should reopen in the summer of 2023, although they did not provide a specific reopening date.

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.

NEW dates have been added for after-hours events at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

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

UPDATE: Kali River Rapids has REOPENED in Animal Kingdom. It reopened on February 27th and remains open now.

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.

Don’t leave Animal Kingdom without doing these 6 things.

Disney Water Park Refurbishments

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon

Typhoon Lagoon closed on November 13th, 2022, and it remains closed now. Disney announced that this park will reopen sometime this coming spring.

In the meantime, you can still visit Disney World’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, which reopened (with some updates!) as Typhoon Lagoon closed.
