food IS a theme park
A massive change is coming to EPCOT in a few weeks!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
An ultra-popular ride will close and be replaced with a brand-new version of the attraction on May 26th, and we’ve got all the details you need to know!
It’s no secret that multiple areas of Magic Kingdom are under construction right now.
Yikes!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad JUST reopened after a 16-month-long refurbishment, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin reopened earlier this year, but construction walls are still up around the soon-to-be Villains Land and Piston Peak. As if that wasn’t enough, a few weeks ago, a massive scrim went up around Haunted Mansion, most likely to work on an exterior refurbishment for the ride, and while it’s not the prettiest, it didn’t affect the inner workings of the ride. That was…until two days ago.
Some Disney ride closures just hit harder than others.
The ride
A few months ago, Disney fans were mourning the loss of DINOSAUR in Animal Kingdom, and that created a massive hullabaloo. But you know what deserves even more of a sendoff? Aquatopia is closing at Tokyo DisneySea, and we are distraught!
The international Disney Parks have some truly unique attractions!
Aquatopia
One of the most interesting parks to visit is Tokyo DisneySea, which has some incredibly creative and original attractions and lands. One of those rides is located in Port Discovery, and we just learned that it will be closing permanently.
A major EPCOT attraction is about to look very different, and the timeline is officially locked in.
Soarin’ Around the World
Disney has confirmed key dates for a transformation that will temporarily close Soarin’ and bring back a familiar version with a patriotic twist. If you’ve got a Disney World trip planned soon, this update could seriously impact your plans, so here’s everything you need to know.
You guys, I’ve been waiting on my favorite Disney World ride to reopen for what feels like AGES.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
That’s right, I’m a die-hard Big Thunder Mountain Railroad fan, and it has been closed since January 2025 (I miss it so much!). It’s set to reopen in early May 2026, but we don’t have a specific date yet. The good news? Ride testing is underway!
If you have a trip to Disneyland Resort planned for April, you’re going to have to prepare for the park to look a little different.
Disneyland
As we get closer to summertime, it looks like some popular attractions at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure are getting hit with refurbishment closures. Let’s take a look at what’s closing and when so you can plan accordingly.
There’s a NEW attraction overhaul coming to Disney World!
Soarin’ Around the World
Soarin’ Around the World is getting a patriotic makeover for the 250th birthday of the U.S.A., changing into Soarin’ Across America. Disney had already shared some details about the new version of the ride, but now we know when it will debut.
Time is ticking before we have to say goodbye to an iconic Disney World ride for good — well, sort of.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith permanently closes on March 2nd, so that Disney can begin transforming it into Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. While we’re stoked about the addition of The Muppets to this ride, we can’t help but feel sad that the original version of this ride is going away. We’re keeping up with all the latest changes, and we’ve spotted a new permit ahead of this ride’s permanent closure.
Today may be the final day for DINOSAUR’s final day in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but it also marks only ONE month left until another iconic ride closes in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
We know, it’s hard to believe, but it’s TRUE. In just one month, one of the most well-known and popular rides in the park will be no more. You’ve only got one more month to ride the current version of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster!
