The months of January and February are usually when the Disney theme parks like to do annual maintenance on their rides, especially water rides. Make sure to check each parks’ refurbishment calendar when planning your trip dates to make sure a favorite ride won’t be closed.
Below are just some main ones that I’m seeing as of this writing. In the calendars, scroll down to the Closed for Refurbishment section of each park, for the days that you’re considering.
These calendars also show the scheduled times for the numerous shows and fireworks too (of course, subject to change), so it’s good to check them if you want to plan dining reservations or ride times around certain ones.
At Disney World, some notable closures include Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom and Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom. Additionally, the Magic Kingdom railroad and a few shows still haven’t reopened. Blizzard Beach is also now closed, but Typhoon Lagoon has reopened.
At Disneyland, the monorail will be closing permanently and Toontown is slated for a major refurb in the coming months. Currently, Splash Mountain and the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage rides are closed.
Check the calendars often, especially if your trip is still several months or even weeks away, since closures and dates for their reopening can fluctuate often. Closures do happen year-round, not just on January and February.
Of course, this applies to any other theme parks, or any other attraction/location, that you may be interested in going to as well. Always check their websites before you lock in your travel plans and before your trip dates, for any closures and changes. Or, you can use a travel agent, like me, who will stay on top of any changes for you. 😁
Let me know if you want any help figuring these out.
