New reopening date for this Disney World attraction

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.

Although Disney gives refurbishment timelines, often these change. This time one of Disney World’s attractions will open later than planned.

Refurbishments

Refurbishment is a dreaded word for Disney fans who will soon be visiting the Disney Parks. In theory, we all understand that refurbishments are a necessary part of keeping each park magical.

However, it is sad when one of your favorite attractions are affected by a refurbishment. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is closing next month. Splash Mountain will also close to be re-imagined into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

Not only that, but we shared even more refurbishments coming to Disney in 2023 HERE. And several attraction refurbishments are scheduled for Disneyland next month as well. See the latest HERE.

The American Adventure

The America Pavilion is located between Italy and Japan Pavilions. If you’re walking from Epcot’s front World Showcase entrance, it’s halfway around the World Showcase lagoon. Check out the complete guide to this pavilion HERE.

We announced a refurbishment for The American Adventure show HERE. At the American Adventure, guests feel America’s inspiration to greatness in an inspiring retelling of America’s history.

In this dramatic attraction featuring 35 Audio-Animatronics figures, digital rear-projection images on a 72-foot screen, and patriotic songs, you’ll watch as America’s story unfolds.

Change in Reopening Date

The American Adventure show closed on September 19. At that time, no reopening date had been set and the Disney calendar stopped on November 6. Then, in October Disney announced a reopening date of December 18. However, if you go to EPCOT tomorrow to experience this ride, it won’t be open.

Now, My Disney Experience shows a reopening date of December 19. If you’ve been waiting for this attraction to return, check it out Monday!
