Hall of Presidents

The Hall of Presidents has been closed since January, while an animatronic for President Joe Biden is installed. This refurb happens each time a new U.S. President is elected!

Disney hasn’t announced a reopening date yet, but we’ll let you know when they do!

Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover

Ah, the saga of the PeopleMover. This Tomorrowland icon has been closed since March 2020, and the reopening date has been pushed back multiple times since then. But guys: there’s HOPE!

The ride is still scheduled to reopen on April 4th. That’s next Sunday! Of course, this date has been pushed back at the last minute before, so we’re still not totally sure we’ll get to hop aboard next week. But we’ve got our fingers crossed! Just yesterday, we saw the ramp being tested. So maybe it will really open this time!!

Walt Disney World Railroad

Speaking of long closures…the Walt Disney World Railroad sets the record! It’s been closed for over 2 YEARS to make way for construction on TRON: Lightcycle Run.

If you’re missin’ this iconic train, you may have to wait a while to ride again. Disney hasn’t announced the construction on TRON will be done, but it’s likely been delayed. And the path for the railroad won’t be clear until more progress has been made.

Main Street Confectionery

Main Street Confectionery sells cupcakes, candy, and other treats to satisfy your sweet tooth. But you won’t be able to get your dessert fix from here for a while: the shop is closing on March 29th for a pretty long refurb!

Right now, Disney World lists it as closed through June 5th. That’s as far out as Disney’s refurbishment calendar currently goes, so that closure may last even longer. We’ll keep ya posted as we get more updates!

Kali River Rapids

Disney tends to shutter its water rides for routine maintenance in the winter, when demand is low. This is currently the case for Kali River Rapids!

But spring is on its way, which means the refurb is ending! Kali River Rapids is scheduled to reopen on April 2nd. Have fun gettin’ soaked again!
