Disneyland Refurbishments & Closings

Can you tell us what day in August the haunted mansion will close for holiday overlay.

It says in here that Space Mountain closes the first weekend in November. Do you know how long that usually takes?

Can someone please please PLEASE tell me that this reopening date for the Matterhorn is accurate?? I know the Disney website says fall, but I’m hoping against hope that someone has gotten more definitive info. Our vacation this year kinda hangs in the balance...

What is Disneyland like the few days before the official start of Halloween? We are planning a visit Wednesday(5th)-Thursday (6th). Other than Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain, will other rides be closed? Also does California Adventure have rides that are closed too?

Hi, First let me comment on how informative and convenient your site is , thank you ???? We are planning a family trip early in September. I have two questions if you can advise . 1) Is Friday September 7 Th the official start of Halloween ? Aka will the be decorations in all areas? 2) we have a 3 year old do you think with all the closures and an overall lesser amount of young children’s rides Is California adventure worth going in September?

Thank you for your time and efforts you have a wonderful and extremely helpful site .

Going mid august from Quebec Canada and its a Disney world favorite for the kids and they look forward to do it in Disneyland. Do you know if any closures is suppose to happen in august for Radiators racers ? THANKS !

I see Jungle Cruise closes early November. I"m planning on being there 11/12 should it be open by then?

Hi we are arriving anahiem from australia on 10-29-2018 for 7 nights...are there any rides or attractions at both parks out of service at this time

It looks like quite a few things might be closed in early September? Trying to figure out if we should re-calibrate our travel plans

Do you have any information on when the rest of A Bug's Land is closing?

Hi, we are planning to visit next January/February 2019, do you have any idea whether the incredicoaster will be closed since that’s when California Screamin was usually closed?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea why Pirates is still closed? ????

Hi, I will be there on the 14th of June so I was wondering in Indiana Jones and splash mountain will be open. If not then can you tell me when they will be open. Thank you

Do you happen to know if Fantsamic will be open during the Holidays? I saw that they’re doing Christmas ticketing similar to that of Halloween, but I don’t want Fantasmic to be closed during that time!

Hi there great post!! Question about pirates of the Caribbean will it be back open on the 7th?

Is the Big Thunder Mountain rollercoaster still open, or did that close with the Big Thunder Ranch area also?

Could there possibly be an early opening for the Incredicoaster? My family is set to be there June 18-20 and as of today we'd miss the opening day by three days. Keeping our fingers crossed!

Already an email subscriber and WDW tix purchaser. Looking forward to getting DLand tix from you as well as great advice.

Will Space mountain be open June 4th through the 9th?. I can't find any times but nothing has said its actually closed.

Wish pirates was open when we will be there June 1

Hi there,

We are planning a special trip October 8-12 for our daughter's sweet 16 and our son's 12th bday. Is it possible to see what closures are scheduled for those dates? Greatly appreciated!

Great info to help plan our trip to Disneyland...thanks Undercover Tourist!

Hi, we are planning to go between mid-Sept to early Oct. Will most of the ride open ? Thanks!

Hello, we will be there June 15th and wondering if Pirates and Indiana Jones will be open yet?

My family and I will be there June 15th and wondering if Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones will be back open? Thanks

I see that pirates of the Caribbean and space mountain are closed for refurbishment. Will they be reopened by August 18th?

Hi, Do you know any thing about Indiana Jones being closed the week of June 11? The week I'm going to be there and my favorite ride. It's showing up as under refurb. :-(

Could you please inform me when is Spring break and increased crowds at Disney?

Our family is heading over to Disneyland and California mid May. As we booked well out before the decisions were made to refurbish Paradise Pier, we had no choice but to continue. my question is: Is there still enough to do at California Disney with the closures? Thank you in advance

Hello,

Will space mountain be back to normal after the 25th. Hyperspace is fun but my family and I love the traditional space mountain a lot more haha

Will the regular space mountain be open May.28-30? I know they changed it to hyperspace mountain a little while back. Also, is there any update on the pirates of the Caribbean as to when it will be open?

Hi Rebecca,

Great post to use to plan ahead, wish I had seen it before booking our trip though.

My daughter is dreaming about the princess breakfast, and I just noticed the restaurant is close. Any idea when it will re-open?

Is there another place we can have breakfast with the princesses?

Many thanks,

Anelise

Hi! We are planning to be there the last week of June. I've heard I'm supposed to watch out for construction near the DL Hotel. Any ideas if this is going to be going on then and if so would it be best to stay at Grand CA? First time with toddlers so was hoping for a 'classic' old school experience at the DL Hotel! Thanks for any input!

I noticed on a few rides I was on that a certain mountain ride I saw from afar was being worked on construction-wise. I was there April 17th, 2018. I know that Matterhorn was closed during this period, but it didn’t look like the Matterhorn ride. It looked like a bigger, different mountain ride. What exactly was I seeing?

Hello! Do you know if splash mountain is reopened? It was supposed to open April 13 and I check the app and it doesn’t say it’s closed nor it says wait time. Thank you

I will be visiting may 12th and want to know if pirates of the carribean will be back up by then? Also the woc?

Hi there. We are planning to go to the park the first week of May but are pretty bummed to hear that pirates will be closed starting the 23rd of April. Any ideas how long? We may cancel our trip as this is our favorite ride. Thanks.

The Disney calendar has rides in Toon Town closed in May. I can't find anything else one why it would be closed. Has there been any information on why its closed? Is it due to Star Wars Land?

We are going to Disneyland beginning June 11...I haven’t seen any updates for Dining either the princesses with Ariel’s grotto being closed. Are you aware if they have relocated them somewhere else?

It looks like toontown is going to be closed (or at least all the rides) in May. Any clue why since I can't find anything else online. Is it due to Star Wars Land? Is toontown going to be completely closed?

Looking at the Disneyland schedule I see that Fantasmic is only showing on the weekends....when will it show daily? We are going June 11-14.

Hey I was wondering something about the Pirates refurbishment. We are going on the second week of May, will it be open by that time? I heard the Florida refurbishment only took two weeks so I’m hopeful that Disneyland will get the refurbishment done fast .

Hello! Any news if Pirates will be reopened by May 14, 15? My wife and I will be visiting the parks on those days.

Will Pirates of the Caribbean be closed the week of May 1st, 2018?

I think REDUCED pricing is in order for these closures and refurbishings. No one goes to the parks to find out that one of their favorite rides is closed or permanently removed. Keep in mind kids are not the only people in the crowd. Way too much emphasis on new character rides. Just don't forget the older kids.

Hello, i have a question; here it says that splash mountain its closed for refurbishement, but in disney´s official app, it says its open and gives you the chance to use fast pass and also gives you the waiting time for today as i write this.

I am planning a youth group trip for November 3. Do you think they will close Space Mountain that soon after Halloween? That could be a disaster for my teens!

I just noticed that pirates of the Caribbean will be closed for refurbishment beginning late April. Any idea how long that refurbishment will take? We are going in September. That's the ride my kids are looking forward to most and they have never been to disneyland so that would be a huge disappointment.

How long is Frozen Live at Hyperion out of service? I don't see it on any schedule of events in May?

I see now that someone asked a very similar question already reagarding the 1st week in September. Do you think the same applies for the 2nd week of September as well?
