Disney4me Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Disney World can sometimes experience unexpected closures and problems in the parks, but there are other changes that you can plan for. You can plan for some of the closures in Disney World! We keep an eye on the refurbishments schedule for Disney World, which means we know which rides are scheduled to be closed on certain days. Here’s a report of everything that’s going to be closed in the parks and hotels next week! Leading out our list for next week is Magic Kingdom, which has one long-lasting closure and a NEW closure for a popular ride. Magic Kingdom Splash Mountain Splash Mountain will close for refurbishments on January 10th, 2022. Splash Mountain It’ll remain closed for a month, reopening on February 10th. This is not the big refurbishment that Disney has announced, which will turn the ride into a Princess and the Frog-themed adventure. We expect that the closure for that re-haul will be much longer than one month. Splash Mountain Ride Vehicles Instead, Disney’s website states that this closure is just for routine maintenance on the attraction. Walt Disney World Railroad The Walt Disney World Railroad is still closed in Magic Kingdom. The attraction has been unavailable for a long time, and it does not have a reopening date yet. Fantasyland Station of the Walt Disney World Railroad The railroad is closed now because of construction in Tomorrowland since crews need to cross over the railroad tracks to work on the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster. TRON construction We expect the railroad to remain closed until TRON is completed, which could still be a while. Disney hasn’t commented on an opening date for this coaster yet, but we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we hear one.

Expedition Everest is closed We don’t have an official opening date for this coaster yet, but it’s supposed to open sometime in April 2022. Expedition Everest Recently, we stopped by to check out the construction walls around this area… Construction Walls Here …and we noticed that you can still go into the attraction’s gift shop! So if you need to grab some yeti-themed souvenirs, you can still do that even during the closure. Finding Nemo: The Musical Finding Nemo: The Musical is also still closed in Animal Kingdom. A reimagined version of this show will return sometime in 2022. Finding Nemo: The Musical The classic show will get a few major changes.
