Well, for the second time in less than a year, an attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is closing…again.
Now, closures for ride and attraction refurbishments happen all the time, and they’re generally short when it’s just for basic ride maintenance, which is necessary to keep rides and attractions running on a regular basis. Now, Vacation Fun — An Original Animated Short with Mickey & Minnie just reopened in December 2025 after a two-month closure, but now, it’s set to close again for another refurbishment.
UPDATE: Disney has revealed that Vacation Fun is closing because it will be home to a special May 4th Star Wars merchandise event.
That’s right, Vacation Fun is set to temporarily close AGAIN on April 29th, according to the Disney World website. No reopening date has been announced, but the website says the ride will reopen later this year.
In 2025, the ride closed on October 25th and later reopened on December 27th. It’s been less than four months since it reopened, so it’s a little odd that the ride will be closing again. During its last closure, we only noticed one change when it reopened. The Potatoland photo op area was back.
Now, it’s unclear why the show is closing again for another refurbishment, but we’re curious as to what this closure might mean. There are already quite a few other closures in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so this could mean other attractions might end up with longer lines now that there’s less to do in the park.
Right now, Muppets Courtyard is closed to make way for a new Monsters, Inc. land, while Animation Courtyard is closed to make way for The Walt Disney Studios. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is also closed as it gets converted into Rock n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, which is set to open on May 26th.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for more closures in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
