Here’s the latest closures and refurbishment updates from throughout Walt Disney World Resort.
Now that the busy holiday period is over at Walt Disney World, January is a busy month for refurbishments getting under throughout the resort.
Already we have quite a long list of refurbishments for the year ahead, and obviously more refurbs will be coming, and as always we will let you know as soon as they are announced by Walt Disney World.
As well as refurbishments we have a major closure happening at Magic Kingdom this year, with Splash Mountain closing forever this month to make way for Tiana.
Plus there is quite a few attractions that have not reopened since Walt Disney World was forced to close due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
