So you’re going to Disney World next week…
Tree of Life
Well, lucky you! Disney World is a magical place filled with things to do. And that’s a good thing because there are a few activities that you’ll sadly have to miss out on next week due to refurbishments. No worries though, it just gives you more time to try your hardest to do everything else! Here’s everything closed next week (that’s January 20th through January 26th) in Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios!
Refurbishments in Magic Kingdom
Splash Mountain
Splash Mountain remains closed next week as it undergoes its annual refurbishment. This might not seem like too big of a hit as we’re definitely in the chilliest time of year for central Florida, so maybe getting soaking wet wasn’t in your plans anyways. Splash is currently set to reopen next month on February 28th.

Walt Disney World Railroad
Still no train rides around Magic Kingdom as the Walt Disney World Railroad remains closed until further notice. The track, unfortunately, goes through TRON Lightcycle Run, so the train will remain stationed at Main Street Station (go grab a photo!) until construction reaches a point that the track can be used. The coaster is expected to debut sometime before Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2021 so that’s most likely the latest the train would be closed.

Refurbishments in Epcot
Test Track and Test Track SIMporium
Though all of the theaters are now back open around Epcot as of today, there’s still one big name attraction that you’ll miss out on next week. Test Track and Test Track SIMporium remain closed this week for routine maintenance. We should be racing around again on February 26th, though!

Refurbishments in Animal Kingdom
Kali River Rapids
If news of water wide closures upsets you, then this definitely isn’t your week. The wettest ride in Disney World is closed until March 21st for routine maintenance. So, no adventures on Kali River Rapids next week.

Water Parks
Typhoon Lagoon
With Blizzard Beach opening back up this weekend, we’ll also see the closure of Typhoon Lagoon. This is a standard winter water park closure and the park will reopen in mid-March. Seriously, not the best week for a watery Disney trip.
Typhoon Lagoon
Update! Blizzard Beach is set to close from January 20th – 22nd due to cold weather.
And, with no refurbishments in Hollywood Studios, that’s all the closures in Disney World this week! As always, we’ll let you know if anything changes!
Next week is the Epcot International Festival of the Arts! Check out EVERYTHING there is to do!

Have you heard anything about Seven Dwarfs Mine Train being closed for refurb?
My family has a trip to Disney World planned for the end of February and our fast pass for the ride was unexpectedly canceled this week. When I called Disney, they said the ride would be down the day we booked, but could not provide any additional information.
And of course its the one Magic Kingdom ride that we “have to” ride.
Hi Quincy
We were talking to the CMs at the station last week and they mentioned the train will be leaving the end of this month for maintenance and the station closed for refurbishment (no dates but it is for some major work) so for those that love the trains go now.
Elaine, the calendar is showing ride availability through February, but there are some morning hours and late-night hours that are earmarked for “specially ticketed” events like After Dark and Early Morning Magic. Is it possible your FastPass was impacted by one of those? If not, it’s still possible there’s a refurb planned that’s not showing on the calendar yet.
