WHAT Is Going On With This Attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios?

By Leave a Comment

Well, for the second time in less than a year, an attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is closing…again.

Vacation Fun

Now, closures for ride and attraction refurbishments happen all the time, and they’re generally short when it’s just for basic ride maintenance, which is necessary to keep rides and attractions running on a regular basis. Now, Vacation Fun — An Original Animated Short with Mickey & Minnie just reopened in December 2025 after a two-month closure, but now, it’s set to close again for another refurbishment.

By Leave a Comment

We’ve got some pretty rough news coming out of Disney’s Animal Kingdom right now, unfortunately, and a lot of people are NOT going to be happy about it.

CONFIRMED: This Popular EPCOT Food Spot Is Now Behind Shrubs

By Leave a Comment

We have sad poutine news from EPCOT. While we were expecting the closure, the Refreshment Port in EPCOT is officially temporarily closed. This snack stand, located near the Port of Entry and near the Canada pavilion, is closed for refurbishment. Refreshment Port is known for its poutine (and usually offers a special poutine during the festivals).

The Refreshment Port

Disney hasn’t announced when the Refreshment Port will reopen yet, and the Disney World website still shows no hours for the snack stand through March 13th (which is how far the calendar is currently available). That doesn’t necessarily mean it couldn’t open before March 13th, but as of right now, we don’t know when it will reopen.

CONFIRMED: A Popular Disneyland Ride Will Close in January

By 1 Comment

It’s not always fun to get to Disneyland only to discover your favorite ride is closed for refurbishment. However, the good news is that we usually have a little advance notice when that happens. It isn’t often enough of a notice to reschedule our trips, but at least it prepares us for the disappointment, right?

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland

The early months of the year are usually PRIME time for ride refurbishments in Disneyland. So if you’re visiting then, you’ll want to be aware of which rides are closed. If you’re planning on visiting the park during that time, particularly Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll want to know about this ride closure: Rise of the Resistance will be closed as of January 20th.
