Summary

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland Park will reopen this week on Friday after a short refurbishment.

Meet Tinker Bell in Pixie Hollow reopening date has been pushed out even further. The area has been closed for refurbishment since September 16, 2024 and the reopening date keeps getting pushed out further and further on the refurbishment calendar. Now the meet and greet area is scheduled to reopen on January 19, 2025, but may get push out again. I’m not sure what they are doing that is taking so long but I sure do hope that this very long closure means something great is happening behind those refurbishment walls.

A closing date has not been announced for the Red Car Trolley at Disney California Adventure Park. The last day for guests to enjoy riding the Red Car Trolley is February 8, 2025. The attraction will close permanently the next day to begin construction on the expansion of Avengers Campus. Rumors state that one of the Red Car Trolley cars will remain parked for photo opportunities. Also, it is possible that the attraction could return in the future but probably not for a while.

To maintain the look, cleanliness, safety and equipment, the Disneyland Resort regularly closes attractions to refurbish them for future guest enjoyment. Also, some attractions may close to be rethemed with a new and exciting story.
