UPDATED December 4, 2024
Okay, enough about Disney World, let’s travel over to the West Coast and talk about Disneyland a little bit.
Now, a LOT is going on over at Disneyland, and a lot more will be going on soon. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be opening SOON. Haunted Mansion is getting a new queue and gift shop. A Coco ride is on the way, as is a whole land devoted to Avatar. Things are going to be BUSY. So if you’re planning a trip to Disneyland in 2025 (like we are), you’ll want to know exactly what will be closed throughout the year, right? Well, we’ve got your back.
So here’s a full list of things that will be closed in Disneyland in 2025…
Disneyland
Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln in the Main Street Opera House closed on April 16th, 2024 for a lengthy refurbishment.
The attraction, which features an audio-animatronic Abraham Lincoln, will add a second show to the theatre, “Walt Disney — A Magical Life,” which will feature the first EVER animatronic of Walt Disney. Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln will then play in rotation with the new show when it reopens sometime in 2025. However, we do not have a specific date for its opening.
Another classic Disneyland attraction, this time over in Fantasyland, will be closing for a lengthy refurbishment in early 2025. The classic “it’s a small world” (and yes, the Disneyland version of the ride is the superior version) will be closing for a refurbishment from January 21st through Spring 2025. Note that the ride will also close briefly in the fall to make way for its holiday overlay.
The Magic Happens parade is seasonal and should return in February 2025, but is usually replaced by the Pixar Fest parade that begins and April and runs through August.
Magic Happens then returns again until the holiday season when it is replaced with Disneyland’s holiday parade in mid-November.
