Summary

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland Park reopened this past week after a short refurbishment.

Meet Tinker Bell in Pixie Hollow reopening date is currently still scheduled for January 18, 2025 but has been pushed out several times so it may get pushed out further again. The area has been closed for refurbishment since September 16, 2024. I’m not sure what they are doing that is taking so long (if anything) but I sure do hope that this very long closure means something great is happening behind those refurbishment walls. However, the Pixie Hollow lagoon has reopened and looks beautiful. The area has been cleaned and refreshed.

A closing date has 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.
