UPDATED December 19, 2024

Okay, enough about Disney World, let’s travel over to the West Coast and talk about Disneyland a little bit.

Now, a LOT is going on over at Disneyland, and a lot more will be going on soon. A Coco ride is on the way, as is a whole land devoted to Avatar along with a major expansion to Avengers Campus. Things are going to be BUSY. 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…

Disneyland Resort

Heads up that the Disneyland Monorail will be closed starting January 26th, 2025. 

A reopening date is not yet listed, but we’ll keep you posted!

Disneyland

Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln in the Main Street Opera House closed on April 16th, 2024 for a lengthy refurbishment.

A reopening date for the Mr. Lincoln show is not yet known; however, there is something VERY interesting to know about the Main Street Opera House, which houses the attraction. President Lincoln was the first ever audio-animatronic made by Walt Disney, and now Disney has announced that the first-ever audio-animatronic of Walt Disney himself will be coming to Disneyland in a brand-new show. 

The new show, “Walt Disney — A Magical Life” will share a space inside the Main Street Opera House (after an initial solo run) with “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.” “Walt Disney — A Magical Life” will open on May 16th, 2025! Ultimately, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln will also return to the Opera House and will be shown in rotation with “Walt Disney — A Magical Life.”

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.

The Magic Happens parade is seasonal and should return in February 2025, but is usually replaced by the Pixar Fest parade that begins and April and runs through August.

Magic Happens then returns again until the holiday season when it is replaced with Disneyland’s holiday parade in mid-November.
