Summary

At Disneyland Park, “it’s a small world” is scheduled to open on Friday, May 8, 2025 with new magic after a lengthy refurbishment. However, starting tomorrow, two more attractions at Disneyland close for refurbishment—Matterhorn Bobsleds & Mad Tea Party. The Mad Tea Party refurbishment is a short two-day closure but Matterhorn Bobsleds does not have a scheduled reopening date at this time. Also, Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room does not have a reopening date listed meaning both attractions will be closed at the beginning of Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebration. King Arthur Carrousel and Chip ‘n’ Dale’s GADGETcoaster are also scheduled to close soon for refurbishment.

Note: I’m really surprised so many attractions will be closed when Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebration kicks off on May 16, 2025. Learn more about the upcoming celebration here.

At Disney California Adventure Park, Soarin’ Around the World reopened this week after being closed for a few days. The attraction was changed to the popular Soarin’ Over California during the annual Food & Wine Festival but is now back to Soarin’ Around the World. Anna & Elsa’s Royal Welcome and Sorcerer’s Workshop in the Animation Academy are also closed for about two weeks for a short refurbishment.

Meet Tinker Bell in Pixie Hollow has a reopening date of June 1, 2025 after being closed for refurbishment since September 16, 2024. I wouldn’t be surprised if the area showed back up on the refurbishment calendar but for now, Meet Tinker Bell in Pixie Hollow will reopen for the summer.

The Hyperion Theater has been closed since August 2023. The queue area is used for special events and as an expanded guest dining area. At this time, no announcements have been made for the unused Hyperion Theater or its large queue area. There is some speculation that an announcement for the theater and Hollywood Land will be coming soon but this has been a rumor for several weeks now with no announcement yet.

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.
