Every Ride CLOSURE That Could Impact Your Disney World Trip This Week

There are lots of things that might impact your Disney World vacation, from travel delays to changes in the weather. You can’t always predict these factors, but there are some things you CAN plan for.

Magic Kingdom

Disney often schedules ride closures as they update and refurbish rides and attractions at the theme parks. A few of those closures are going to affect Disney World this week. Here’s a complete list of the temporary closures in Disney World from March 12th through March 18th.

Magic Kingdom Closures

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Splash Mountain closed on January 23rd, and it’ll remain closed until late 2024.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

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.

EPCOT Closures

Cool Wash

This little snack kiosk near Test Track has been through a few different renovations. We saw a new sign installed that said “Refreshment Station.”

Disney may be working on a new plan for the space, so we’ll keep watching for any more updates.
