Unfortunately, over in Hollywood Studios, a different race isn’t going as planned.
Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is a show featuring the star of Cars that many parents of little kids like to frequent as a welcome indoor break during a long day in Hollywood Studios. This week the attraction hit a road bump, and the Racing Academy has been showing as temporarily closed on the My Disney Experience App.

This morning around 11:30AM we asked a Cast Member if they knew when the ride will be up and running again and they responded that they weren’t sure and just stated maintence. Right now, My Disney Experience is still showing it’s temporarily closed, with no updates on wait times or any other clues. The attraction has been closed for multiple days in a row with no real answer as to why.
