Disneyland Refurbishments & Closings

Inside This Post Inside This Post

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 Permanent closures are attractions that are no longer active in the parks, refurbishments are temporary closures and seasonal closures take place annually.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.

It's usually accessible during the day but may have shorter hours. A lot of the special effects during the party are from lighting so it doesn't affect the area as much.

When in late August does Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain typically close for refurbishment? We are considering a Disneyland trip (if we are allowed in….we are Canadian!) and don’t want to miss out on those rides! Our dates are somewhat flexible but we are aiming for mid August. Thanks!!

Hi Nicole!

Last year, Haunted Mansion closed Aug. 16, which has been the earliest it's closed for the holiday overlay installation. It typically closes on a Monday a few weeks before Halloween Time starts. Space Mountain hasn't had a Halloween overlay in a while, so we have removed this reference.

Yes, it looks like The Little Mermaid ride will be closed from Jan. 10 through Jan. 13 (reopening Jan. 14) for a brief refurbishment. We also know that both Splash Mountain will be undergoing its annual refurbishment and Haunted Mansion will be transitioning from its holiday overlay to its normal state at that time.

Hi DisneyMama!

The best way to check is to visit the Monorail page on the Disneyland site and check the calendar for your dates. You can check dates as your trip gets closer, as hours will not be posted far in advance. Keep in mind that the Monorail closes early each night. Have a great trip!

Your blog is simply the best! Thanks for all the wonderful advice! We just booked a trip to Disneyland January 5 - 8th and my favorite ride is Thunder Mountain Railroad. I remember reading something a while ago that it was closed for a bit, but I don't remember the timing (because at that point we weren't planning a trip). Do you have any information on it being closed, and if it is, when it might re-open. Thanks in advance for your help!

We get refurbishment information directly from the Disneyland website (for Indiana Jones, you can find it here by clicking on the calendar to see the schedule). Generally yes, Disney is good with sticking to the target schedules, and sometimes rides even open earlier than expected.

Reply
Oct 18, 2021 at 5:26 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Sherry!

The holiday overlays for Haunted Mansion and "it's a small world" usually come down a few weeks after Holiday Time ends (which is Jan. 9 this year). In the past, Haunted Mansion has been first and then "it's a small world," one at a time. Exact dates have not been confirmed yet. Other rides could come down for smaller refurbs but nothing has been announced yet. Grizzly River Run sometimes gets refurbished during the winter. As for the weather, it varies in January. You can typically expect an average high of high-60s to low-70s and an average low in the 50s, but it can get as low as the 40s and as high as the 80s. Rain is possible, but it depends, as it can rain at night but stay clear in the day. We recommend dressing in layers and if the weather calls for rain, bring a poncho or umbrella.

Usually, the "Cars" rides don't require a refurbishment period since the overlay is mainly lighting and sounds, so they should remain open as usual!

Disneyland does not have Hall of Presidents, but it does have The Disneyland Story presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. We love both resorts, but there are some differences between the two! Some attractions are only at Disneyland while others, such as Hall of Presidents, are only at Disney World. Check out more of those differences in our Disney World versus Disneyland post!

Hi Cherra!

Disneyland has not officially announced dates yet for holiday overlay closures, but we can see that "it's a small world" starts showing no operating times, beginning Oct. 25. That's as far as the calendar goes, so we think it's safe to say that "it's a small world" will be closed from Oct. 25 through Nov. 11, reopening for the first Disney Merriest Nites party that night and Holiday Time the next day. As for choosing between your two options, October 25-28 will still have Halloween Time, which is a lot of fun but will be busier than Nov. 1-4 (which is generally a quieter time with Halloween decor going down and Christmas decor starting to pop up). Hope this helps!

Disneyland releases park hours in batches (about six weeks at a time) so we'd check back in a couple weeks or so! As for the "it's a small world" holiday overlay, Disneyland hasn't announced the dates for the closure just yet, but usually, the dates will show up on its ride page.

Hi Jackie!

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is currently under refurbishment, and it does not have a scheduled date for reopening yet (we'll update this post when we find out, but it should be sometime in fall 2021). At this time, there are no refurbishments scheduled for the Matterhorn Bobsleds, Jungle Cruise or Space Mountain. We anticipate that they would be open (especially the Matterhorn Bobsleds since it was recently refurbished), but Jungle Cruise and Space Mountain could close for holiday overlay installation/removal, so ride schedules are subject to change. We'd check back as it gets closer to your trip to confirm!

Haunted Mansion is closing early this year since Disney moved the start of Halloween Time to the beginning of September. It will be closed for overlay refurbishment, starting Aug. 16 to Sept. 2. The other overlays that have been announced (Cars Land rides & Guardians of the Galaxy) do not close for an extended time because their overlays are lighting, sound or digital.

We were there a couple of years ago and they closed Adventureland for a corporate event, and at closing time we were all escorted out of the park and prohibited from shopping on main street. We had counted on shopping and were not allowed. Is there a way to find out if the park what an event scheduled where they will do something similar? We are planning on visiting at the end of Feb 2020. Thanks!

Reply
Feb 4, 2020 at 8:43 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Josh!

We can imagine what a bummer that was! The good news is that that is a rare occasion. They usually post park hours on the Disneyland site 6 weeks in advance. When Disneyland closed early for an event in June 2019, the park made an announcement that guests would receive bonus time in the park in certain lands past the posted closing time, so how it’s handled must vary depending on the event. Check the park hours and if you see an unusually early closing time of, say, 6 p.m. during your visit, be sure to ask cast members about when the shops will close. Looking at the February schedule, we do not see any early closures on the calendar and do not anticipate any problems for you!

Also, Splash Mountain and the Jungle Cruise are listed as having seasonal refurbishing but there are not actual dates. Do you know if those will be open or closed while we are there?

Thank you!

It says no Downtown Disney refurbishment, but the Jamba juice has been, and as far as I'm aware, still is closed for refurbishment.

Hi, my husband and I are in our 60's and looking forward to coming on Feb 24th 2020. I saw the older postings about the Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones, and other rides closing for refurbishing just ahead of our coming. Do you know the re-opening dates yet?

Haven't been there in 22 years and could be our last time so want to be sure as many of the rides we want will be open.

Thanks.

Hi Suzanne!

Haunted Mansion does not have an end date for its refurbishment just yet, and while we know that Indy is going to undergo a refurbishment in 2020 as well, those dates haven't been released just yet. We will continue to update this post as we hear more, so be sure to hop back! We hope that you and your husband have a wonderful trip - be sure to get celebration buttons from City Hall to mark the occasion!

In late August/early September question: how long is the haunted mansion closed for the prepping of Halloween? We are going in the week of 13th will the park be completely done with Halloween decorations?

Hi Valerie!

The overlay usually takes about 2 and a half weeks to put up. In 2019, the ride was closed from Aug. 26 - Sept. 6 to install the overlay. We don't know Halloween Time's dates for 2020 just yet, but in 2019, Halloween Time began on Sept. 6. If 2020 follows 2019's trends, you'd be good to go! We'll be sure to update our Halloween Time post as soon as we have more information for 2020!

Good news, Diz heads! The week of 2/16, the following rides are shown to be open at least through 2/19: Grizzly River Run (reopens 2/14, which is so cool because I've NEVER been on it!), Splash Mtn, Indiana Jones. Sadly, there are no fireworks or nighttime spectaculars for my visit, Tues-Thurs, but I'm so glad we get two of our top attractions plus a new one.

The list shows Hyperspace Mountain is closed January 7th, is that only one day? I'm visiting the 9th-11th and would hate to miss riding it!

Hi Parker!

Yes, the refurbishment is just one day to remove the Hyperspace Mountain overlay. Space Mountain will be back up and running on Jan. 8.

Going to Disney for only the 2nd time ever. I wondered if you knew approximately how long Space Mountain is being refurbished? I also heard rumors that they are changing the ride so you have to wear glasses for it? Is this correct? My husband and I are going for our 5th year anniversary the first week in March. Any information you have would be great!

Hi Steph!

We haven't heard any news about needing glasses! The refurbishment is only set to last for one day (Jan. 7) to remove the Hyperspace Mountain overlay. Space Mountain will be back up and running on Jan. 8. We'll be sure to update if we hear anything new!

Looks like Grizzly River Run MIGHT reopen 2/14. The attractions list for 2/14 lists it, but the ride page itself doesn't offer that date. I'll be checking back soon because I have never in my life been on that ride because of the time of year we go.

Hello! Thank you for all this information. On the Disney park app, it lists grizzy river run as closed from January 19th to January 26 (so far, that’s all I can see up to) but you guys don’t have it listed, does that mean it’s just going to be a sort refurb? We are going the first week of February. Thank you!

Hi Catherine!

There is usually a seasonal refurbishment in the winter for Grizzly River Run that lasts through Feb. or sometimes early March, depending on the year. We don't have exact dates for this just yet, but we'll continue to keep this updated as we know more!

Hi Jennifer!

As of now, the rides that will be under refurbishment during your trip look to be "it's a small world" Holiday, Mark Twain Riverboat, Snow White's Scary Adventures and Haunted Mansion. This is subject to change as you get a little closer to your trip, so be sure to hop back for updates!

What would you say are the odds they'd close Splash Mountain AND Indiana in February if Haunted Mansion is still closed? We have a Feb trip upcoming and we want to be emotionally prepared if we can't go on some of our top choices.

Hi Carrie!

We toadally understanding wanting to emotionally prepare yourself! We don't have the dates for the seasonal Splash Mountain refurb yet, and the dates for the Indy refurb hasn't been released just yet, either. We'll update as soon as we know more! While we can't possibly guess, we'd agree that it'd be unlikely that all would be down at the same time; we'd guess that they'd be staggered.

I'm obsessively checking the attractions daily (ha ha) and as of 2/9 Splash is still shown as open, so fingers crossed. Also, Indiana is still open as of 2/9. :) We are a little blue that Fantasmic will be on a weekend-only schedule and we are going Tues-Thurs, but we got to see it in Disneyworld last year, so we feel lucky to have done that.

Hi Michelle!

"it's a small world" Holiday is a special holiday-themed overlay that the attraction receives for the holiday season. Here's a video of this year's overlay!

Hello! How can I stay up to date on when the Indiana Jones ride will be closed in 2020? I'm planning a trip for the last week in April, but haven't made reservations yet and would be devastated if the ride is closed while I'm there. I'm just wondering when they may announce more details on its closure and how long it'll be closed. Thanks!

Hopefully Indiana Jones will be open by March, since they might want to celebrate the ride's 25th anniversary, i'm going during the second week of may, hopefully Indiana, Snow white and Haunted Mansion will be open by then.
