It’s getting into the summer months of 2022, which means a LOT of people are gearing up for their Disney World vacations! If you’re among the crowds who will be flocking to the parks this summer, we’re here to help you out with all kinds of packing hacks, planning tips, and updates on the latest news.
Where magic becomes real
Before you go, be sure you know what’s NOT going to be open in the theme parks. That way, you can avoid the disappointment of looking forward to an attraction or perk and then realizing once you arrive that it’s not available. To help you out, we’ve got a full list of closures you’ll see in Disney World this June in the parks and hotels!
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom has a few closures right now that will continue throughout June. Only one of these attractions has a specific reopening date, though!
Walt Disney World Railroad
The Walt Disney World railroad has been closed for over 3 years, and it doesn’t have a reopening date yet. This attraction was closed for some refurbishments and to make way for construction on the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster, coming to Tomorrowland.
Walt Disney World Railroad is closed
Because of construction on that coaster, the train can’t run on its usual course. Luckily, we’ve spotted a tunnel in the area that seems to be meant for the Railroad, which is a good sign that the train could reopen soon!
Walt Disney World Railroad tunnel — Late March 2022
Currently, the Railroad is scheduled to be closed through late July 2022 at least, which is as far as Disney’s refurbishments calendar goes.
Harmony Barber Shop
The Harmony Barber Shop on Main Street, U.S.A., has been closed since the parks reopened in 2020. Now, we finally have a reopening date for this spot! It will open its doors on July 31st, 2022. You can start making reservations on the My Disney Experience app on June 28th, 2022.

At this spot, you can get haircuts for kids or adults, and there’s a special My First Haircut package available for toddlers!
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is also closed in Disney World (including the locations in Magic Kingdom, Disney Springs, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort).

Although we don’t have a specific reopening date for this salon, Disney has announced that it will return before the end of 2022.

EPCOT
Canada Far & Wide in CircleVision 360
Canada Far and Wide in Circle-Vision 360 is still available for now, but it will be closing at the end of June. Starting on June 27th, 2022, the show is no longer displaying hours of operation.
Canada Far & Wide
This attraction is likely closing to make room for the Appleseed Orchard Booth at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which begins on July 14th this year.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Finding Nemo: The Musical
Finding Nemo: The Musical is unavailable in Animal Kingdom, and the original show actually won’t be returning to this park. Instead, guests will be able to see Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond later this summer!
Finding Nemo: The Musical
The updated show is based on Finding Dory and will include some new sets and characters. Fans of the original show don’t need to despair, though — Disney has announced that some of the music from the previous show will be returning!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Fantasmic!
Fantasmic! is a popular nighttime show at Hollywood Studios, but it’s been closed for a long time now. Disney has announced that this show will return sometime this year, though!
