July is a BIG month for the Disneyland Resort as it celebrates its 70th anniversary.
Although the festivities are underway with special shows, experiences, and more 70th anniversary offerings, the parks still aren’t running at 100%. Refurbishments, closures, and some attractions re-opening or opening for the first time are on the calendar in July — and we’re giving you the full rundown.
This July, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure will have a combined 10 attractions closed at some point. They are as follows:
Disneyland Park
Matterhorn Bobsleds — Closed Throughout July
The Matterhorn Bobsleds attraction closed in May, and its refurbishment timeline has been extended past July.
The Matterhorn closed for refurbishment on May 5th for some lengthy and intense work. It could be a while longer before we hear the screams and laughter coming from the mountain again.

Jerky roller coaster bobsled ride through Matterhorn Mtn., more tight turns than drops. Watch out for the abominable snowman!
Enchanted Tiki Room — Reopens July 3rd
Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room has been closed since April for a multi-month refurbishment — but work is almost complete!
The Tiki Room is reopening on July 3rd with some technical improvements, including touch-ups on its lighting, sound, and show systems.

This Disneyland Ride Gives Me Anxiety and I Know I’m Not the Only One
How will these closures affect your Disneyland plans? Let us know in the comments!
This is truly terrible. I wish they would do this in the office season
Well that stinks star tours is our favorite ride and our grandkids have never been on it.
We have a trip planned for July 30th and are incredibly disappointed to learn of the Incredicoaster closure. Given the issues the ride has experienced recently, it is curious that Disney Parks decided to wait until the end of July.
What a let down ! I was hoping Disney would have everything completed for their July 17th 70th anniversary. Thought they’d plan it out a Little better. I understand regular maintenance is key but knowing you have a huge celabration looming a more accordingly schedule would be paramount.
Gee 10 rides down through the summer!!!! Any break in the price through the summer? NOPE!
