Summary

The Disneyland Railroad, Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree restaurant and Ray’s Berets (previously named the Briar Patch) all reopened this past week. And, as the holidays approach, we should see less attractions on the refurbishment calendar with new refurbishments added to the calendar after the first of the year.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is scheduled to open to the general public on November 15, 2024. Magic Key Pass previews began this past week and are available on select dates through November 12. See my blog post here for the Magic Key preview schedule.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will close on November 18, 2024 for refurbishment. No reopening date is available at this time.

The LEGO Store in Downtown Disney District is temporarily closed for refurbishment and will remain closed through Thanksgiving weekend. The store is scheduled to reopen on December 1, 2024.

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.
