We’re nearing the end of summer, which means there will be fewer crowds and more refurbishments coming to Disney World.
Carousel of Progress Refurbishment
But don’t worry, we’re not fully in that territory yet! Only TWO attractions will be closed for refurbishment in September, and one of them isn’t even in the traditional theme parks!
Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress
Starting with the refurbishment IN the theme parks, Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress has been closed for refurbishment since the beginning of July, and it will continue to be closed through 2027. This show is getting an update with new scenes from the 1960s, 1980s, the new millennium, and a possible future. The pre-show of this attraction will include a Walt Disney Audio Animatronic. Disney has confirmed that they will be revisiting the music, fashion, technology, and experiences that John and his family will have in the updated show.

The new version of the attraction will open sometime in spring 2027 with Bryan Cranston and Jamie Lee Curtis lending their voice talents to the show.

Slush Gusher
One of Blizzard Beach Water Park’s slides will be closed for refurbishment in September. This is a 90-foot, high-speed waterslide in the shadow of Summit Plummet. The two rolling hills are bound to give you an invigorating lift on the way down! While this slide is closed, other attractions around Blizzard Beach will remain operational.
