Are you planning to visit the Happiest Place on Earth this summer?
Disneyland is undergoing many changes to make way for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which will be opening in Disneyland later this year! With this, many closures have hit Disneyland recently. For example, a majority of Critter Country is under construction. Right next to Critter Country, the Haunted Mansion is also undergoing construction. The good news is that Haunted Mansion has reopened as Haunted Mansion Holiday with a Virtual Queue! But soon, more closures will be hitting the Disneyland Resort.
We know that Disneyland is already going through it with the amount of closures around the park, but if you are planning to visit Disneyland this summer you may want to watch out for even more closures in August!
Starting in August, more attractions will close at Disneyland Park. The Disneyland Railroad will close on August 5th. The railroad does cut through Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, so maybe it will get a new narration update. This could mean that Disneyland is one step closer to opening Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!
Can’t Wait for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to open in Disneyland? Take a Sneak Peak of it at Disney World!
In Tomorrowland, Space Mountain will also close on August 5th. If you are looking to catch a ride to space, you will need to visit before then!
Space Mountain does start to show operating hours once again on September 6th though, so if you’re heading to the park on or after that date, look for it to likely reopen!
Additionally, the Disneyland Railroad is set to temporarily close on August 12th. Operating hours are not listed for the experience through the end of the current calendar (which goes through early September) as of the latest updates to this post, so we’ll be on the lookout for a potential reopening date to be announced in the future.
Two attractions in California Adventure will also close on August 5th. The Animation Building is already undergoing changes, as Beast’s Library in the Sorcerer’s Workshop previously closed to make way for a new space for Imagination Campus, Disney’s education program for students.
On August 5th, both Turtle Talk with Crush and the Animation Academy will temporarily close. This means that the only offerings available in the Animation Building would be the Anna and Elsa meet and greet along with the part of the Sorcerer’s Workshop, where you can still practice and learn the tricks of animation.
These closures do not appear to last for too long though. Animation Academy shows operating hours once again starting August 30th, and Turtle Talk with Crush shows operating hours once again starting August 16th.
While these are a lot of closures for Disneyland, it just means that all these rides and attractions are getting a little love! If you are planning to visit Disneyland before the August 5th closures, you might even be able to catch Pixar Fest, which is happening this summer resort-wide!
Until August 4th, you can find Pixar-themed food offerings, food booths, merchandise, a special parade titled “Better Together: A Pixar Celebration!” and so much more!
We can’t wait to see any new updates that Disney makes after these closures! As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news!

Nooooo! We love both Turtle Talk and Animation Academy. They are some of our favorite non-ride attractions. This is very sad.
