food IS a theme park
FINALLY! Two long-term closures that have plagued Disney World for a WHILE are going to come to an end within the next couple of months.
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
We can’t wait for these things to finally be open and available again in the parks!
In the middle of January, we noticed a popular shop in Disney Springs had closed its doors to customers.
Basin store closed for refurb
Several shops have been closing in the Disney Springs district in recent months while others have replaced them. The shopping and dining area of Disney World is a popular place to hang out and visit on days when you don’t have a park ticket or if you’re simply looking to have fun outside of the parks. Now, we have some good news to share with you about the beloved beauty store, Basin!
Sometimes Disney has to close down certain rides, restaurants, and attractions in order to update and refurbish them. Usually, those closures only last a few weeks or maybe a few months at most. But there are a couple of things that have been MISSING from Magic Kingdom for a LONG time now, and we’re starting to wonder if they’ll ever return at all!
Don’t Worry — Cinderella Castle Is Still There!
Let’s check out these mysteriously missing things and take a look at ALL the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from February 4th through the 10th.
Who wants to hop on a plane with us and go to Paris? 🙋

Yep, we suddenly want to go to Disneyland Paris. First, we NEED to see a Disney park covered in SNOW because the photos from that event were PURE MAGIC. Of course, we also wouldn’t mind checking out the food there, too. However, what we REALLY want to do is book a stay at the reopened Disneyland Hotel, which recently got a ROYAL makeover. Now, we’re going to take you on a virtual tour of these princess-worthy rooms.
Watch out! There are several ride, restaurant, and hotel pool CLOSURES happening next week in Disney World, and they might impact your upcoming vacation!
Magic Kingdom
Let’s check out all the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from January 28th through February 3rd.
Okay, let’s be real. It can be AWKWARD to share a hotel room with other people.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Room
Whether you’re cramped into a small space with people you share a house/apartment with, or you’re staying with friends who live apart from you, nobody gets very much privacy in a Disney World hotel room. And you know what really doesn’t help? The bathroom situation. Usually, they’re right off the main room and the doors aren’t exactly soundproof. But if you’ve got that hotel bathroom anxiety…Disney has come up with a solution!
Planning a Disney World vacation certainly isn’t easy.
Tower of Terror in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
You have to book your hotel, buy your park tickets, make your dining reservations, and worry about potential closures you may have to deal with. Sure, ride closures can certainly have an impact on your trip, but it’s those pesky transportation closures that can really get in the way. If you’re heading to Disney World soon, we’ve got a transportation update for you!
A LOT is going on in Magic Kingdom right now.
Country Bear Jamboree
Not only is Tiana’s Bayou Adventure under construction (and we keep looking for more updates on that ride every day), but another attraction is closing to get a brand new update. That attraction is Country Bear Jamboree, which is closing TOMORROW, January 27th. Now, we know you might not ever think an attraction like this would bring crowds to Magic Kingdom, but on its last day, well, Country Bear Jamboree was pretty popular!
There have been a lot of closures lately at Disney World!
The Skyliner is CLOSED
Recently, we’ve seen Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Kali River Rapids in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom, and the Skyliner transportation system all shut down for refurbishment. Happy news though, one of those closures will be reopening TOMORROW!
There have been a LOT of closures in Disney World recently, including Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Kali River Rapids in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom, and the Skyliner transportation system.

Cinderella Castle
However, as those closures end, two MORE closures will begin. Let’s check out all the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from January 21st through the 27th.
