food IS a theme park
There are two NEW closures this week in Disney World affecting hotel pools!
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
If you are heading to Disney World soon, you need to know about these closures. We don’t want you to be surprised when you head for your afternoon swim or relaxing day by the pool.
Another attraction is closing for good this week in Disney World!
The Boneyard
While it may not be the most popular attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we are still sad to see it go, and we know many kids (and adults!) will miss it. We have definitely spent hours exploring this area, and we can’t believe it will soon be closed forever.
Ride closures are never fun, but they’re part of how Disney keeps the magic alive.
It’s closed!
September is bringing some big refurbishment news to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, and if you’ve got a trip planned, you’ll want to know what’s temporarily unavailable. Three rides are closed during the month, and while two of them will be back before long, one is going to be down for quite a while. Let’s walk through what you need to know so you don’t get caught off guard.
There have been a lot of closure announcements for Disney World! However, we FINALLY learned when a closed experience will be reopening.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
It’s Tough to Be a Bug closed back on March 17th, and Disney has been hard at work transforming the area into a BRAND-NEW show. We have been eagerly awaiting an opening date that is more precise than “winter 2025,” and we officially have that date!
We just got some huge news on Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin!
Buzz Lightyear!
Whether it’s the coming of massive lands or the upgrading of already existing rides, Magic Kingdom is undergoing a MASSIVE transformation period. We’re taking a quick focus on Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, as the popular ride is undergoing a lengthy refurbishment period. This includes updates and enhancements to the attraction. Well, we just found out about some of those updates, and we’re here to share them with you!
There is a lot coming to Disney World in the next few years! In anticipation of the new lands and expansions, Disney World is also under quite a bit of construction right now. Plus, Disney is also working on refurbishing other attractions and locations to keep everything looking nice and fresh! It can be easy to lose track of all the closure announcements recently, but we are here to help!

Magic Kingdom just lost another Lightning Lane Multi Pass option, and it’s a big one.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has closed for an extended refurbishment, which means you now have ONE fewer skip-the-line option at this park. Between this closure and the ongoing Big Thunder Mountain Railroad refurb, the Magic Kingdom Lightning Lane Multi Pass list is shrinking fast. Let’s break down exactly what’s changed, what’s still available, and how you can adjust your park day strategy.

Let’s take a look at what is scheduled to be closed this week!
One by one, Magic Kingdom is dropping rides. Some closures are permanent (lookin’ at you, Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat) while others are just temporary, like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

On August 4th, another Magic Kingdom ride closed for an extended refurbishment — Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin.

I’m a Disney World expert, and even my head is spinning with all of these changes, so here’s what you need to know.
Magic Kingdom is looking pretty different these days!

A huge piece of Frontierland recently closed for good, Big Thunder Mountain is still closed for a lengthy refurbishment, and now, another popular Magic Kingdom attraction has hung up the “closed” sign.
