Summary
Starting tomorrow, January 6, several attractions will closed for refurbishment at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. At Disneyland Park, the Disneyland Monorail, Mark Twain Riverboat, Haunted Mansion and Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe will close this week for refurbishment. At Disney California Adventure Park, Grizzly River Run will close this week for its annual refurbishment. Also, Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind will close for a short refurbishment.
Meet Tinker Bell in Pixie Hollow reopening date is back to being TBD because it is now listed on the Disneyland refurbishment calendar throughout January and up to the beginning of February which is as far out as the calendar currently goes. The refurbishment has been pushed out several times and the area has been closed for refurbishment since September 16, 2024.
The Disneyland Railroad will be closing again on January 13, 2025 to complete the railroad track replacement around the park. If you recall, the railroad was closed earlier this fall for refurbishment while Main Street Station was refurbished and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure construction was completed. During that time, some of the track between Fantasyland and Main Street Station was replaced. Rumors state that the Disneyland Railroad should reopen before Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary begins on May 16, 2025.
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.
In Downtown Disney District, the new Parkside Market opened this weekend with four new dining options under one roof. The dining locations which are operated by Levy Restaurants include Seoul Sister, Sip & Sonder, GG’s Chicken Shop and a Vista Parkside Market. To learn more about these new dining options, read our blog post here.
Disney Wonderful World of Sweets which is replacing Marceline’s Confectionery looks ready to open at Downtown Disney District. I wouldn’t be surprised if it opens this coming week.
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.
Check back every week for an updated list of closures at the Disneyland Resort.
