3 Attractions Are STILL Closed in Magic Kingdom This Week

Magic Kingdom is the original Disney World park, and certainly one of our favorite Disney parks.

While it has changed a lot since opening day, there are lots of great things to do in the park. However, there are several attractions that will remain closed in Magic Kingdom this week due to refurbishments (or construction). We’re excited to see the changes that will be made to these locations, but for now, they’ll remain closed. So let’s take a look what Disney World attractions will be unavailable this coming week!

Magic Kingdom

A ride, a show, and a restaurant are all closed in Magic Kingdom this week! We know two of those will be opening sometime this summer, but the restaurant is still a mystery.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Splash Mountain closed on January 23rd, 2023, and the new ride taking its place will remain closed until the summer of 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! We recently noticed some major changes like Imagineers riding it for testing as well as some of the walls finally coming down. Disney has also shared a look at new characters coming to the ride!

Most recently, two new stores were announced to open near the ride — Critter Co-Op and Tiana’s Bayou General Store!

We don’t know about you, but we’re getting EXCITED!

Country Bear Jamboree

Country Bear Jamboree is currently being reimagined in Magic Kingdom! The show closed on January 27th and should reopen with the new, updated show sometime this summer.

We recently noticed that the sign over the building has been covered up!

Seems like some work is certainly going on over here! If you want to celebrate this attraction, check out this Collectible Plush Set on Amazon!

The set features three Country Bears: Teddi Barra, Big Al, and Henry.

Tomorrowland Terrace

Tomorrowland Terrace in Magic Kingdom has only ever been open occasionally, usually during particularly busy seasons. However, it’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen this spot open.

Currently, it’s only used for Magic Kingdom dessert parties.

But Magic Kingdom isn’t the only park with closures this week! Find out what else is closed the week of April 21st through April 28th!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios closed on January 8th and will remain closed for a pretty long time. The ride is expected to reopen in the summer of this year, which means the refurbishment will last at least a few more months.

We don’t have an exact reopening date yet, but we’ll keep you updated when we learn more!

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

The Voyage of the Little Mermaid as we know it will NOT return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s closed now, and Disney has confirmed that this show has permanently closed to make way for an updated version.

“The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure”, an all-new stage show, will replace the show in the Animation Courtyard theater in Fall 2024.

EPCOT

Restaurant Marrakesh

Restaurant Marrakesh is kind of closed and kind of not.

The restaurant will soon be used as an Annual Passholder lounge during the V.I.Passholder Days! Passholders can visit the lounge from May 1st through June 18th, 2024 at Restaurant Marrakesh. However, we’re still waiting for the full experience to return!

Blizzard Beach

Typhoon Lagoon was closed for several months but finally opened on March 17th, 2024! Woo hoo!

However, on that same day (March 17th) Blizzard Beach closed for refurbishments. Since it just closed, we do not know when it will reopen again, but since 2020 we’ve noticed that the two water parks will flip-flop being open.

That means that even though we’re getting closer to summer, we may only have one option of water parks to go to. We’ll be watching for news of Blizzard Beach reopening, but this summer head over to Typhoon Lagoon!
