FINALLY! This Hollywood Studios Attraction Is Reopening After a 5-Month Closure!

If you’re going to Disney World, you need to know what’s closed BEFORE your vacation!

It’s not uncommon to see rides, restaurants, pools, transportation, or shops close for refurbishment and updates throughout the year. Thankfully, Disney World typically includes the closure information for these offerings on the website so you can know what will be unavailable during your trip. We follow these updates closely to let our readers know what to expect, and now it looks like there’s a reopening on the horizon!

Vacation Fun at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a short film in the Mickey Shorts Theater that closed temporarily back in August. This is the second time the spot closed this year, with the first time being back in April to house the special May the 4th merchandise. This time around, it was for Annual Passholders to pick up their Kermit the Frog magnets.

Disney didn’t share a reopening date when the closure started, simply noting that the theater would reopen “later this year.” But now, Vacation Fun is showing hours starting on September 27th. Though it hasn’t been publicly announced, this likely means the show will reopen on that date.

The interesting thing about this closure is that the show also just had a closure in 2025, reopening right at the end of December before closing down again in April. The space hosted a May the 4th (Star Wars Day) offering during this current closure before it was used as a magnet distribution spot. Could we see it used as a space for special events more in the future? It has been used as a wristband distribution location for Jollywood Nights in the past, so we’ll have to wait and see.

Mickey Shorts Theater

Vacation Fun is a 10-minute short film that features Mickey and Minnie getting ready to go on a vacation. The show highlights clips from the Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts on Disney+, giving you a glimpse of all the places Mickey and Minnie have traveled in the past. It’s a great way to take a little break in the air conditioning and sit in a comfy seat for a few minutes. Plus, the exit area of the theater has some very fun photo ops!
