Attraction closures are not the best news, but having time to prepare your touring plans is invaluable. Find out the newest closure and how this may affect your touring plans.
Attraction Closures
Since Walt Disney World does not close for select seasons, refurbishments and maintenance take place during operating hours. Some attractions close for a lengthy amount of time, such as the refurbishment of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Frontierland.
Some attractions can remain open while refurbishments are taking place, such as Tower of Terror in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Other attractions may close early for much-needed maintenance, like TestTrack at EPCOT.
Closing Early
Today at Magic Kingdom, guests noticed signage that the Journey of the Little Mermaid will close today at 7:00 pm to all guests. We heard rumors that this attraction will close for routine maintenance and will not reopen until tomorrow.

What you need to know
A great tip for planning your day at Magic Kingdom is to enjoy Fantasyland early in the day. Many attractions are affected when Cast Members prepare for nighttime fireworks.
On several evenings, the entire area of Fantasyland was evacuated and attractions were temporarily closed due to wind and weather advisories. With early closures and even weather advisories, it is a great idea to visit Fantasyland early.
