It’s a pretty annoying problem when you get to the parks and your favorite ride is closed, whether that be for a ride refurbishment or something else. But it happens, which is why we always tell everyone to check park calendars before they visit a Disney Park.
Well, in Disneyland, there are several upcoming ride closures in August and September, but we just confirmed two more ride closures that are coming up soon. So we’re going to warn you about those so you can plan accordingly.
One of the rides that will be closing soon is the Mad Tea Party, a popular ride in Fantasyland (at least for those people who like to spin around in circles until they get dizzy). According to the Disneyland calendar, Mad Tea Party will close on September 14th. Disney has not yet revealed a reopening date for the ride.
Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island will also be closing soon, on September 14th. This is a walkthrough attraction with pirate caves, treasure scenes, and interactive features themed around Pirates of the Caribbean. Disney has also not confirmed a reopening date for this attraction.
We also want to remind you of previously announced closures coming up soon. Haunted Mansion will close on August 8th to become Haunted Mansion Holiday with a Nightmare Before Christmas overlay. The ride with the overlay will reopen on August 20th.
Main Street Cinema will close on August 10th and reopen on August 27th. Indiana Jones Adventure will close on September 8th. Disney has not confirmed a reopening date for that ride. The Mark Twain Riverboat will close on September 8th and reopen on September 11th.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for more closures, as well as reopening dates, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
