Now, a LOT is going on over at Disneyland, and a lot more will be going on soon. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be opening SOON. Haunted Mansion is getting a new queue and gift shop.

So if you’re planning a trip to Disneyland in 2025 (like we are), you’ll want to know exactly what will be closed throughout the year, right? Well, we’ve got your back.

So here’s a full list of things that will be closed in Disneyland in 2025

The attraction, which features an audio-animatronic Abraham Lincoln, will add a second show to the theatre, “Walt Disney — A Magical Life,” which will feature the first EVER animatronic of Walt Disney. Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln will then play in rotation with the new show when it reopens sometime in 2025. However, we do not have a specific date for its opening.

Another classic Disneyland attraction, this time over in Fantasyland, will be closing for a lengthy refurbishment in early 2025. The classic “it’s a small world” (and yes, the Disneyland version of the ride is the superior version) will be closing for a refurbishment from January 21st through Spring 2025. Note that the ride will also close briefly in the fall to make way for its holiday overlay.

If you had plans to catch the show “Tale of the Lion King” in Disneyland, you’ll be missing out. The show closed permanently in January 2024 and will not be returning to Disneyland. We’re still waiting to see what Disneyland will do with the Fantasyland Theatre.

We previously mentioned that some work is being done at Haunted Mansion. However, the ride is currently open with a virtual queue. Note that it will close again in early 2025 to be converted from its current version, Haunted Mansion Holiday, back to Haunted Mansion. It will close again in the late summer ahead of Halloween Time to be converted back into Haunted Mansion Holiday.
