Get ready to put on your cowboy hats and boots for a wild, country musical!
This week two Disney World attractions are reopening — the DVC lounge in the Imagination Pavilion in EPCOT on July 13th AND the Country Bear Musical Jamboree in Magic Kingdom! This means only one show will remain closed in Disney World for now. Find out what will all be closed on your vacation to the parks this coming week below.
Country Bear Musical Jamboree
Country Bear Jamboree closed on January 27th, 2024, for a pretty big refurbishment. Disney announced that a NEW show is coming — Country Bear Musical Jamboree, with the bears learning an all-new act. The new show is set to open on July 17th!
We got a sneak peek of the new show, and, y’all, we’re so excited for you to see it! It was “bear-y” cute!
Since this show opens this week, that only leaves one show over in Hollywood Studios closed in all of Disney World!

Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Voyage of the Little Mermaid is currently closed in Disney World. We recently spotted some construction walls up at the show!
Disney is going to introduce a new, updated show in this spot, though it will still be themed to the animated movie The Little Mermaid! The new show will be called “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure” and is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Fall 2024.

It will be a “fully reimagined theatrical production inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios classic.”

Of course, other refurbishments will continue around Disney World from July 13th through July 20th. Keep scrolling to find out what will impact your trip this week!
Magic Kingdom
Peter Pan’s Flight
One of Magic Kingdom’s most popular rides closed for refurbishment on July 8th!
Peter Pan’s Flight will be closed until August 21st. While Disney hasn’t commented on the closure, a permit filed for the ride indicates some general construction. We’ll be keeping our eyes open for any more information concerning any changes coming to this popular ride!
One of Magic Kingdom’s Most Popular Rides Is Now Temporarily CLOSED
Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade
We had to say goodbye to an opening day attraction on June 23rd.
The Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade was around for generations and provided simple fun to all who played. Now, the attraction has closed to make room for a new Disney Vacation Club lounge. This lounge will be the third in Disney World, joining one in EPCOT and one at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Disney has not yet announced when the new lounge will open.
Tomorrowland Terrace
Tomorrowland Terrace is a quick-service restaurant that has been closed since the 2020 pandemic-related closures, but even before that, this spot was only occasionally open.
Once in a while, you’ll see the dining room open as a rest area (and it’s still being used for the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties), but it’s usually all roped off and empty.
Disney hasn’t announced when this spot could finally reopen, but we’ll be watching for updates. If you’re looking for a nice spot to hang out in Disney World and sit down for a rest, this could be it!

EPCOT
Test Track
Test Track closed on June 17th. Disney is giving this ride a BIG makeover!
Disney has shared that the new version of Test Track will take inspiration from the old ride, World of Motion, that was originally there when the park opened in 1982. Other than that, Disney hasn’t shared many other details about the project. We don’t even have a reopening date yet, but we’ll be watching for more updates.
