It’s Been a LONG Time Since We’ve Seen This Magic Kingdom Spot Open

We are so excited to let you know that a popular ride in Magic Kingdom is OPEN after an extended closure.

Peter Pan’s Flight was closed for a little over a month, but you’ll be able to ride it once again NOW. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of closures affecting Disney World. Let’s find out what closures will affect your trip the week of August 18th through August 24th!

Peter Pan’s Flight

Peter Pan’s Flight first closed on July 8th for an extended refurbishment.

The ride was originally set to open on August 21st, but we’re happy to report that this attraction is back up and running EARLY! There were a few changes made to the ride, and you can read more about it below.

An Iconic Opening Day Ride Has Reopened in Magic Kingdom – See What Has Changed!

Even though this ride is re-opening, other rides, attractions, and restaurants will remain closed this week.

Magic Kingdom

Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade

The opening day attraction, the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, officially closed on June 23rd.

This closure is to make room for a new DVC lounge that will soon be coming to Frontierland. This will be the third DVC lounge in Disney World, but we don’t have an opening date, yet.

Tomorrowland Terrace

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

Currently, it’s only used for Magic Kingdom fireworks dessert parties, and there’s no word on when it might serve food again.

EPCOT

Test Track

Test Track closed on June 17th and we don’t have any information about its reopening date or timeline yet.  The ride is being reimagined! Disney recently released more details and announced that the ride will reopen in 2025!

We know that the ride will continue to be a partnership with Chevrolet and that they will be taking some inspiration from the original ride World of Motion.

Restaurant Marrakesh

Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco pavilion of World Showcase is closed. The restaurant was previously used as an Annual Passholder lounge during the V.I.Passholder Days, and now it being used as a KidCot activity spot and a lounge for all guests.

We’re still waiting for the full dining experience to return to this restaurant.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

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.

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 generally flip-flop being open.

That means that, even though it’s currently summertime and thus peak water park season, we may only have one option of water parks to go to. We’ll be watching for news of Blizzard Beach reopening, but for now, just head over to Typhoon Lagoon!

The World Premiere Food Court was supposed to officially reopen on July 31st, however that was not the case.

You can still use mobile order to choose food items off a limited menu and seating is available at the food court and at the arcade. We’ll keep you posted on its full reopening!

Everything Pop Food Court is a surprisingly great place to grab a bite of food if you’re staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

However, this food court will be getting some work done on it from July 29th until September 29th. While it’s undergoing refurbishment, Disney has mentioned that you may still order food and drinks here via mobile order on the Disney World app. Alternate entrances may need to be used, though.
