You May Need To Adjust Your Plans: 6 Attractions Will Be CLOSED in Disney World This Week

An important part of every Disney World vacation is which rides you’re going to go on during your visit. Are you a fan of roller coasters? Maybe you prefer the classics like “it’s a small world.” Or maybe you skip the rides altogether and head straight for the shows! Whichever attractions you choose to prioritize, make sure you know which ones will NOT be open when you visit.

Cinderella Castle

Disney will often close rides and attractions for a while to update and refurbish them. Sometimes those closures only last a few days, and other times they’re much longer. Check out this list of the closures in Disney World from May 7th through the 13th.

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. On a recent trip, we noticed that the tree stump at the top of this ride has been removed. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates.

The Boneyard

The Boneyard is an interactive dinosaur-themed play area for kids in DinoLand U.S.A. This area is now closed for a long refurbishment (which started on May 1st).

The Boneyard is expected to reopen on June 13th.

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