There are several temporary CLOSURES in Disney World right now, including a couple of rides in Magic Kingdom and a few restaurants across the resort. But here’s the good news: One of those closures is ENDING soon!
Cinderella Castle
A Magic Kingdom attraction is reopening next week after its brief temporary closure. Let’s take a look at that reopening and what will still be CLOSED from August 27th through September 3rd so that you’re prepared for your next trip.
Several attractions and restaurants are closed in Disney World, but for most of them, we know approximately when they’ll reopen. For example, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (formerly Splash Mountain) will be open in late 2024. However, there are three attractions that are closed right now with NO opening date or even approximate timeframe announced!
Magic Kingdom Train Station
Aside from those closures, there are a few more that do have opening dates, but not in the near future. Let’s take a look at what will be closed from August 20th through the 26th so that you’re prepared for your next trip.

One of the most unpredictable things at Disney World is the weather. It can be cold, hot, and stormy, or there can even be hurricane-related weather.
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
Weather can often affect everything in the parks, from parades to fireworks to rides. It can also affect the water parks. Today is calling for some chilly temperatures in Orlando, so that means a water park that was scheduled to reopen today, has, in fact, not reopened.
We’ve heard some MAJOR news from Disney this week, including new character meet-and-greets, updates on the opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run, and even a Genie+ update from Magic Kingdom.
The most magical!
