For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.
All Disney Guests understand the occasional temporary closure of an attraction, but this morning several attractions were closed as Magic Kingdom welcomed Guests. Find out which attractions are currently affected.
Earlier Evacuations
This week has been a rough week for Magic Kingdom. For the past 3 days in a row Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, or PeopleMover for short, has had some issues.
Various social media users report the ride stopping and going and then having to be evacuated off. Check out the full details of the unexpected evacuations of this attraction HERE.
Multiple Attractions Affected Today
As Magic Kingdom welcomed Guests on June 4, many of the major attractions were seen as temporarily unavailable. This included Big Thunder Mountain, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mad Hatter Tea Party, and Splash Mountain.
Not even mentioned in this list was Jungle Cruise that was still closed. This attraction is undergoing quite the refurbishment while remaining open to Guests, but this morning it was still unavailable at Park opening.
Currently Splash Mountain and the Mad Hatter Tea Party have reopened. We are uncertain as the explanation for so many delayed starts this morning at Magic Kingdom.
Big Thunder Mountain, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mad Hatter Tea Party, and Splash Mountain were all temporarily unavailable at Park opening.
Can you imagine Guests who had meticulously made touring plans with Character Locator only to discover that many of their favorite attractions were closed?
This would be quite the shock to Guests who had planned to arrive at Rope Drop to enjoy these big attractions that have longer wait times throughout the day.
We are hoping that as the day progresses even more attractions will open at Magic Kingdom for Guests.
What would you think if so many attractions were closed for the start of your day at a Disney Park? Which attractions do you enjoy doing at Rope Drop? How would this affect your touring plan? Share your thoughts with us on our Facebook Page.

We just returned from Disney this past weekend and we were soo disappointed in the service and finding something to eat was mission impossible unless you had qued it ahead of time which was never disclosed, also the 1 plus mile hike to get into the park from the parking garage was not the joyous way to start the day. We were lucky enough to get a boarding pass for the star wars ride but the Disney cast member Samantha was really rude to me as my child with behavioral disabilities had to use the restroom and was not back in time with dad before I was in the front of the line I explained he had lactose issues from eating ice cream ( some of the only food we could get with out waiting 3hrs) and he would be right back she actually scoffed and said all these kids must be related having diarrhea you moms need to come up with better excuses. WTF. Disney is going to really need to do some organizing. We had went to universal studios the day before and they did a amazing job we only waited at most 45min for a ride food was readily available and the walk to the gate to get in wasnt a marathon. We definitely wont be doing Disneyland again for a few years but will return to universal this October.

We purchased tickets a m ok nth in advance for Magic Kingdom. Last week a friend asked if we had reservations. I thought the purchased passes confirmed our entrance. No, I called to learn that our Purchase didn't secure our entrance. We were told Magic KINGDOM would nit be available on our date and Epcot would have to be substituted. None of us like Epcot! We were asked to pay $89.00 per person for Hoppers that will let us into Magic Kingdom after 2:00p.m. Please tell me who to speak to about this madness! We've invested lots of money on flights, rental vehicle and resort stay. Disney, pleade don't CHEAT my grandkids out of a great vacation. -Barbara Ivy from Mississippi

Disney thinks it has us hooked now and can get away with anything. Walt wasn't always about money. The original plan was and always will be the best. You can't improve on Walt's original concept. Before changing anything, ask, "What would Walt do?"

Replace Chapek with Goofy! He would be better.
