A Classic Magic Kingdom Attraction Is Temporarily CLOSED

By Leave a Comment

Temporary ride and attraction closures at Disney World are totally normal, and happen more often than you might think!

Haunted Mansion Temporary Closure

And no, they don’t mean that the rides are breaking down. Usually, these planned closures are for routine upkeep and maintenance so that the rides can run like new for years to come! Last week, we found out that a closure would take place in Magic Kingdom so that a fan-favorite attraction can be refurbished. Now, that ride is officially closed!

Ride CLOSURE Announced for Extended Evening Hours in EPCOT Tonight

By Leave a Comment

Want to visit EPCOT with shorter lines and smaller crowds? Extended Evening Hours might be a great option for you, but you’ll want to be CAREFUL.

EPCOT

This special perk lets guests at Disney World Deluxe Hotels and Deluxe Villas (as well as a few other qualifying spots) stay LATE in select parks (usually Magic Kingdom or EPCOT) on certain nights after the regular park guests have left for the day. During those bonus hours, certain rides stay open, giving you the chance to hop on popular attractions like Frozen Ever After or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with much shorter waits. But there is a big complication you’ll want to be aware of before going to these events.

PHOTOS: A Popular Ride Has Reopened EARLY in Disney World!

By 2 Comments

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, there are a lot of things to stay on top of.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

From the addition of new restaurants and rides to hotel construction and ride closures — things are constantly changing in the parks.

Just this month the refurbishment of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith was delayed, and today we have news of a ride that opened AHEAD of schedule!

A Popular Coaster Is Now CLOSED for a LONG Refurbishment in Disney World

By Leave a Comment

It’s a good thing there are plenty of attractions in each Disney park because this gives guests other options when one happens to close.

Hollywood Studios

We see plenty of unexpected closures, like when a ride suddenly breaks down due to technical issues, but these are often fixed the same day. Attractions see a lot of daily use though, so sometimes they need to close for extended periods of time to allow Disney’s teams to do some maintenance. These fixes take a bit longer and one ride has just CLOSED as part of an extended maintenance closure in Disney World.

Hollywood Studios

We’ve been unexpectedly sick in the parks before, been caught in terrible weather, and missed our fair share of dining reservations and Lightning Lane windows. But on top of all that, we often see unexpected ride closures — and today there were quite a few!
