To help you prepare for your upcoming trip and avoid the disappointing surprises that come with unexpected ride closures, check out this list of all the pre-scheduled closures that will affect the Disney World parks and hotels from August 20th through the 26th.
Magic Kingdom Closures
Liberty Square Riverboat
On Disney’s website, Liberty Square Riverboat doesn’t have any available times listed starting on August 21st.

This temporary closure appears to last until August 29th, 2023. This attraction closed around the same time last year, so this seems to be a regularly scheduled refurbishment.
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.

On a recent trip, we spotted the new “Tiana’s Foods” water tower up in front of the ride. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates.

Barrel Bridge at Tom Sawyer Island
Over on Tom Sawyer Island, the barrel bridge is currently closed. In fact, it’s missing completely!
