It’s Memorial Day weekend, which usually means big crowds in Disney World and long lines at the rides. However, there are a few rides that aren’t even OPEN this week!
Disney World occasionally shuts down rides and attractions in order to update and refurbish them. To help you get ready for your trip, we compiled a list of all the closures in Disney World from May 28th through June 3rd.
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. On a recent trip, we noticed that the tree stump at the top of this ride has been removed. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Closures
The Boneyard
The Boneyard is an interactive dinosaur-themed play area for kids in DinoLand U.S.A. This area is now closed for a long refurbishment (which started on May 1st).
The Boneyard is expected to reopen on June 13th. Note that part of this area — the Dino Dig Site — has reopened early.
We’ve stayed at every Disney World hotel. Here’s why Animal Kingdom Lodge is WORTH IT.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios Closures
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
This stage show about The Little Mermaid has been closed for a long time in Hollywood Studios.
