2 Popular Rides Will Be CLOSED ALL WEEK in Disney World

Disney World is changing all the time, and some of those changes mean that certain rides, attractions, and restaurants have to CLOSE for a while.

Magic Kingdom

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Splash Mountain closed on January 23rd for a long refurbishment. The ride is being re-themed to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, with a Princess and the Frog theme!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

The new ride will reopen sometime in late 2024. We’ll be watching for more updates on the reopening timeline.

Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.

The Tomorrowland Light & Power gift shop is still closed for refurbishments, and Disney hasn’t announced when it’ll reopen. For now, it’s scheduled to be closed for all of next week.

Is it almost complete?

The Light & Power gift shop disappears from Disney’s refurbishment calendar on May 1st, so it’s possible that the store will reopen on that date. In the meantime, guests who visit Space Mountain are being directed to exit the ride a different way.

A close up

Recently we spotted a new clock and mural added to the front of this shop. The mural depicts Tomorrowland, with Space Mountain on the righthand side. Will we see TRON on the mural once the rest of the covering is taken down? We’ll have to wait and see!

BEWARE of this Magic Kingdom DELAY.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

The popular Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed on February 21st for a long refurbishment.

Cool Wash

Cool Wash temporarily had a new sign that re-named the spot “Refreshment Kiosk,” but that sign was later removed. However, it looks like the sign is back now! The snack kiosk is still closed and blocked off by several plants.

Refreshment Station

Disney hasn’t announced when Cool Wash (sorry, Refreshment Station) will reopen, but we’ll watch for any changes.
