Disneyland Refurbishments & Closings

by Leap on January 21, 2025

As you get ready to plan your Disneyland trip, it's helpful to know which rides and experiences may be closed or undergoing refurbishment during your visit. Here is the full Disneyland refurbishment schedule and permanent ride closings. Permanent closures are attractions that are no longer active in the parks, refurbishments are temporary closures and seasonal closures take place annually. All of these refurbishments and closings are subject to change without notice. Don't fret! There is still plenty to do and see at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.

Hi Clo!

We don't know that far out yet — the Disneyland hours & events calendar, which is where we get info about scheduled refurbishments, only goes out about six weeks in advance. While the exact dates have not been confirmed, we do know that "it's a small world" and Haunted Mansion will have to close to remove their overlays after the holiday season concludes Jan. 6. Based off past years, they usually close one at a time.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Denai!

"it's a small world" is scheduled to open Nov. 15 for the start of Holiday Time, so unfortunately, it's unlikely that it will open in October. The Disneyland Railroad does not have a reopening date yet, so we don't know an exact timeline. Right now, the calendar shows it closed through Oct. 30, which is as far out as the schedule goes. However, refurbishments are subject to change.

Do rides close to remove their holiday overlays before the rest of the park? We are planning a trip there over New Year’s but don’t want to miss things…especially the Haunted Mansion!

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Heather!

Haunted Mansion Holiday doesn't transform back to its regular theming until after the end of Holiday Time (which ends Jan. 6, 2025), so you should be good to go if you're visiting on New Year's Day!

Hi, I’m planning/ hoping on coming to Disneyland in October. Are there any rides getting refurbished then ? thank you

FrogBlog Says...

Hi James!

Over the weekend from the D23 event, we just learned that Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open Nov. 15, 2024! Because of this transformation, Critter Country — which will also be changing its name to Bayou Country — has been under construction. This area includes The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes and the shops/dining locations. We have not been given a reopening date for those, but we would expect it's the same date, or shortly before Tiana's opening date. Once confirmed, we will update this post. Some attractions listed currently have "TBD" because we can only see the refurbishment calendar as far out as Sept. 23, at the time of writing. (Generally, you can see these calendar events up to six weeks in advance.) So far, no other refurbishments have been announced for October, but we'd encourage you to check back as it gets closer in case anything changes.

Pirates of the Caribbean is back open after a brief refurbishment from July 29 to Aug. 1, 2024. Indiana Jones Adventure is now showing unavailable from Sept. 9 to 13, 2024. Space Mountain will be closed from Aug. 5 to Sept. 5, 2024.

Hi. We are planning our trip for last week of August 2025. Just wondering what rides would be closed at this time for refurbishing or decorating for Halloween?

Jul 31, 2024 at 3:24 p.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Lisa!

It's too far out to confirm any refurbishments or closures. Historically speaking, Haunted Mansion closes for its Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay. This year, the timeline was a bit different since the ride was undergoing a months-long refurbishment. For next year, it will depend on when Halloween Time starts. This year, it's starting earlier than ever on Aug. 23, 2024. If Halloween Time starts just as early next year, it could be possible that Haunted Mansion Holiday will be open by the time you visit. But if starts in September, it may be closed. Other ride refurbishments won't be announced until it gets closer to that time.

If it's not part of an announcement, Disney does not usually disclose exact reasoning for refurbs, so we don't know why it's closing again for a second time in April. Right now, as of writing, the calendar goes out as far as April 16 and it's still listed as a refurb up to that point. We will continue to keep an eye on it and update once we know a reopening date.

So sad that Haunted Mansion is closing January 22nd! We were at the park same time last year and it was closed our entire visit. I was hoping we would get to see it this time as this will be our last visit to Disneyland for quite some time. It says closed January 22nd - TBD, we are there from January 27th to February 4th. Does anyone know if this is a closure to take off the holiday overlay or something more? I am hoping that it will be open within two weeks of closing and maybe we will get to see it on the last day at Disney on February 4th!

Jaimie Says...

The rumor is that the Haunted Mansion won’t be reopening until late August, and will be in its Nightmare Before Christmas version when it does reopen since it will be around the Halloween season.

Dec 13, 2023 at 1:19 p.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Christine!

Haunted Mansion typically closes during January to remove the holiday overlay. A return date has not been confirmed yet, as the calendar only shows park hours, entertainment showtimes and refurbishments up until Jan. 24 at this time. While this has not been confirmed as part of the refurbishment, we do know that Haunted Mansion is expected to get an expansion with new grounds and a gift shop in 2024. So it's possible that the refurbishment will take longer than the usual two weeks if Disney begins the expansion work simultaneously. But again, Disney has not confirmed when the expansion will take place, so we do not know for certain when it will happen. We keep this post updated weekly, so we will be sure to include any news once it's been confirmed or a return date is announced.

Even with availability showing for Jan 29-21, no time slots have been open. For 3 days I've been awake at 3;00 am (in case of early availability) until 7 am when reservations open. Refreshing the browser AND the app until the date is clickable. It's impossible for zero reservation times at 7:00:05 am. I kept refreshing until after 8 am. No slots available. I tried a different browser, deleting coookies, logging out and back in... Blue Bayou doesn't like me or they haven't released times yet. (I was able to make other reservations.)

What a bummer! Indy is down from Nov. 27-30?! Those are the only exact 4 days of the holidays that my family and I will be there, and that’s my most favorite ride of all since I was a little boy. And what a big bummer is that it may reopen on the 1st of December? That’s exactly when me and my family head home. I hope that Disneyland will rethink it and postpone the refurbishment till January or somewhere in December. ???? I hope they’ll make a decision like they did last year around that time and only have it closed for just two or three days and wait for the refurb. when we leave. But it’s just wishful thinking. At least no other of our favorite attractions there will be closed at the time for refurbishment. Me and my whole family always say, “closed for refurbishment is the biggest bummer news for visiting Disneyland.”

Any thoughts on the length of the refurbishments on Indiana Jones and the Incredicoaster will be that start on Nov 27, 2023? Going to be there on Dec 5-7 and really hoping both will be reopened! I was surprised to see two big ticket rides closed during the holiday season.

Hi Justin!

We see hours listed for Indy starting Dec. 1! For Incredicoaster the calendar does not go far enough for us to see at this point, but in a few days, you can go to the Disneyland site, look up Incredicoaster and use the calendar to put in your dates to see if it has hours that day. The calendar only goes up to 6 weeks in advance.

How about all the thursday's in october where there will be absolutedly no night shows (even projections) at Disneyland. And only one parade. Is this normal? Nothing shows in Disney calendars

Hi Patty!

The entertainment schedule generally populates roughly up to six weeks in advance, but sometimes it gets updated closer to the date. We are currently seeing Halloween Screams with projections on all Thursday nights in October.

I am not too happy about Space Mountain being closed on my birthday week later October. I am super bummed ???????? about it. It's my favorite ride. I love It's a small world also which makes it a double bummer ???????? for me.

I alternate every 2 years between Disneyland & Disneyworld so the refurbishments you post is great to know. I usually go Oct - Nov because I don't like the heat. I'm from Victoria in Australia.

We are going the week of aug 21st- aug 28th and I keep switching around our park reservations- as of now we are set for Tuesday aug 22nd Disneyland Friday august 25 and DCA Sunday the 27th only because refurb of radiator racers is showing to be completed on the 26th - would you suggest keeping it this way or changing the dates around ? We also have genie + but I just wanted to have the opportunity for radiator springs racers if it’s possible - any advice is truly appreciated!! ????

Hi Melissa!

If Radiator Springs is a top priority, then those two days at Disneyland and one day at DCA sounds like a good plan to us!

Do you have any more specific dates for when holiday decorations come down? We are planning to be there on 1/2-1/5 and are really hoping to see them! Also, any specific timing on the Haunted Mansion closing for removing the decor?

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Jennifer!

No, official holiday dates have not been announced yet for Disneyland, but we would expect the holiday festivities and decor to still be available through the first full week of January, which happened the previous two years. And if that's the case, Haunted Mansion wouldn't close until after Holiday Time ends. We will share the news on the blog once we hear anything!

Is there any chance the little mermaid, Alice in wonderland and Peter pan will be open jun21-28? 2023

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Emma!

We're not sure when Peter Pan's Flight, Alice in Wonderland and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride will reopen. The daily events calendar (where you can see a list of refurbishments for each park) only shows up to June 9, at this time of writing. Refurbishments are always subject to change — while most of the time refurbishments stay on schedule, sometimes rides can open earlier than scheduled and other times the closures can be extended. We will continue to monitor for updates.

I see that splash mountain is being remodeled. It says closed May 31st to TBD. does this mean that it will open for a short time after annual refurbish then shut down again end of May?

Hi Brian!

Splash Mountain is currently open and should continue normal operations until May 31, when it will close permanently to transform into Tiana's Bayou Adventure, which is expected to open in late 2024.

You have the reopening date for Matterhorn listed as April 24th. I so want to believe this as my family will be attending the 1st week of May! But I can't find confirmation anywhere else. Are you certain of this date?

Thanks ????

Ron Says...

Does Disney ever "make it a point" to close any of the rides and/or shows in Disneyland Park "on purpose" over Memorial Day Weekend? Or is it "busy enough" at Disneyland Park around Memorial Day Weekend in order for them to try and keep everything open and running?

Thanks for finally responding, and I really do appreciate it (please forgive my "little attitude" from before)...just one thing: why would they shut the Matterhorn down starting in April (which means it would probably still be closed over Memorial Day Weekend), especially since it was just closed for like 6 months last year? And during the "100th anniversary of Disney company itself"? Does this even make any sense to you? I do not actually ride that one because the "updated" vehicle hurts my ankles and knees too much, but I still like to LOOK at the mountain while I am walking around the park. And does this mean other rides could be shut down when I am there, too? I certainlly hope not!

We're not sure about the reasons for its refurbishment - a reopening date has not been determined yet. Ride closures are subject to change at any time without notice.

We are planning on going out to Disneyland on Saturday May 20. I do understand that it's between Mother's Day & Memorial weekend. Will there still be fireworks and parades going on? Is there anything that we should expect when going that day? Also how often do you update your page?

Hi Jasmine!

Usually on the weekends, you can catch the parade, fireworks and other nighttime entertainment (such as Fantasmic!) - weather permitting. The entertainment schedule is typically posted about six weeks in advance on Disneyland's website. Our Refurbishments post is updated weekly.

Any word yet on the official closure dates for Haunted Mansion? Since the movie’s coming out, you’d think they’d go w/out the holiday overlay ????????‍♂️

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Mark!

No official word yet, but for the past couple of years, it's been closed from mid-August to early September for the holiday overlay. It's a big annual tradition, so we think it would still hoppen, but we won't know for sure until it gets closer so hop back later. We'll be sure to share any news!

At this time, the calendar only shows the ride as unavailable through April 10, but that's as far as the calendar will display so the return date is still TBD. We will update once we find out!
