“it’s a small world” Holiday Overlay
We look forward to the “it’s a small world” holiday transformation each and every year, and we are getting closer to the big reveal! This classic attraction will be adorned with shimmering lights and whimsical decor for the holiday season at Disneyland Resort. However, to be ready for the Holidays at Disneyland Resort starting on November 14th, 2025, the attraction will need to close for a bit. That is why we are here to remind you!

SO MANY Disney World attractions are closed right now, and it’s going to change how your vacation works.
DINOSAUR
With multiple rides and attractions currently closed in Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, AND Animal Kingdom, you’re going to have to revamp those park plans if you haven’t been in a few years. That’s why we’re sharing these NEW rules you’ll need to follow!
If you are heading to Disney World soon, we want to make sure you are prepared for the closures! There are FOUR new closures starting this week, and we don’t want you to be caught by surprise. There is a lot of construction happening in Disney World right now.

We’ve already had to say goodbye to several things in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It’s Tough To Be A Bug inside the Tree of Life closed earlier this year to make way for a new show, Zootopia: Better Zoogether, opening soon.
New cookie ice cream sandwich alert!
Dinoland, U.S.A. has been closing parts of its land in phases while Disney builds a brand-new land, Pueblo Esperanza, in its place. Oh, and Dino-Bite Snacks, along with Trilo-Bites, will be closing on October 20th. Ahead of that closure, Dino-Bites just debuted a new snack…and well, it’s so good that we’re feeling emotional at the thought of having to say goodbye to this snack kiosk.
Things are a little chaotic in Disney’s Animal Kingdom right now. There’s a lot of construction going on, thanks to a new land, Pueblo Esperanza, that will be replacing DinoLand, U.S.A. Right now, only one ride has remained open in Dinoland, Dinosaur, although it will eventually close as construction progresses.
Kali River Rapids
Well, another ride will be closing for months in that park, too. Kali River Rapids will be closing for a refurbishment on October 6th. So if you have plans to ride it, you’ll need to get to Animal Kingdom ASAP.
If you are heading to Disney World soon, we want to make sure you are prepared for the closures! There are currently three closures happening at Disney World hotel pools, and we don’t want you to be caught by surprise.

It is hard to beat a relaxing day by the pool, so you need to know about these pool closures. The good news is that every hotel with a pool closure has other pools that are open, so you won’t be left without a pool to relax by!
Disney World is undergoing quite a few changes right now. Construction is underway for Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom, and the Monsters, Inc.
