A Hollywood Studios Coaster and 5 Other Attractions Will Be CLOSED All Week in Disney World

There’s a LOT of planning that goes into a great Disney World trip. You’ll need to buy tickets and make park pass reservations, book some dining reservations, choose the best hotel for your group, and decide whether or not to purchase Genie+ during your vacation. Make sure you also plan which rides to prioritize at each park! And speaking of those rides, we have an important update for you.

Rock ‘n Roller Coaster

Some of the rides in Disney World are going to be CLOSED when you visit next week. Disney regularly closes certain attractions in order to update and refurbish them, and a few popular spots are going through that right now. In order to help you plan for your trip, we have a full list here of everything that’ll be closed next week.

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. The tree at the top of this ride has been removed as Disney continues construction on this major project.

If you miss Splash Mountain or want to celebrate the new ride, you should check out our DFB t-shirts! We have a Splash Mountain Farwell Tour shirt…

…and a Tiana tee as well!

EPCOT

Refreshment Station

This snack stand (previously called Cool Wash) in EPCOT is still under construction and hidden behind some hedges. We can see inside from the Monorail, however, and it looks like Disney has added some furniture inside the dining area.

What’s happening here?

Disney hasn’t announced when it will open, but we’ll watch for any changes.

Don’t forget that the Flower & Garden Festival is going on in EPCOT right now as well! Click here to check out our NEW tees that are perfect for a trip to the festival.
