One of the most annoying things about a Disney World trip is running into ride closures. Rides and attractions in Disney World may shut down temporarily due to technical difficulties or bad weather. Usually the closures only last a couple of hours, and you can keep an eye on the My Disney Experience app to find out when the rides reopen.
Sometimes, however, attractions will shut down for days or even weeks (sometimes longer!) as Disney updates and refurbishes them. To help you prepare for your upcoming vacation, here’s a complete list of the temporary closures in Disney World from April 9th through the 15th
Magic Kingdom Closures
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.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Closures
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed a while ago for the start of a long refurbishment.
This coaster will likely be closed for at least a few weeks, possibly a few months. Disney announced that it should reopen in the summer of 2023, although they did not provide a specific reopening date. For now, it’s scheduled to be closed at least through early June.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
This stage show about The Little Mermaid has been closed for a long time in Hollywood Studios.
Disney hasn’t announced when or if the show will reopen.
Check out the updates to the new Hollywood Studios park map.
EPCOT Closures
Cool Wash
This little snack kiosk near Test Track has been through a few different renovations. We saw a new sign installed that said “Refreshment Station.”
Disney may be working on a new plan for the space, so we’ll keep watching for any more updates.
See the latest updates at the Moana attraction in EPCOT.
Disney Water Park Refurbishments
Disney’s Blizzard Beach
Disney World’s Blizzard Beach Water Park has closed for refurbishments. Disney hasn’t announced how long this closure will last.
Typhoon Lagoon — Disney World’s other water park — has reopened.
So if you want to visit a water park during your upcoming vacation, head to Typhoon Lagoon!
