If you’re going to be heading to Disney World in January of 2025, then you’ll want to know about these ride closures before you go on your trip.
Some closures are short, while others are more lengthy.
Hopefully your favorite ride isn’t on this list if your vacation is in January. Read on to see if it is.
Astro Orbiter
Astro Orbiter in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom will be closing January 13th for refurbishment.
The closure is expected to last until sometime this summer.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is going to be closing on January 6th. Disney World has said that it will be closed for at least a year, but there is no official reopening date that has been announced yet.
This ride is located in Magic Kingdom in Disney World.
Disney has said the ride needs some general maintenance and repairs, but it will also reopen with some new magic in 2026.
Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros
Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros is going to close on January 6, 2025 for refurbishment.
Disney World has said the ride will reopen on March 15, 2025. This is always subject to change though. We’ll keep you updated in future posts about when it will reopen.
Hall Of Presidents
The Hall of Presidents is set to close on January 20th. A reopening date has not been announced yet for this Magic Kingdom attraction.
This ride receives updates every time a new president is elected. They will need to move President Trump back up to the front.
Kali River Rapids
Kali River Rapids will be closing on January 6th and should be reopen sometime in March of 2025. This ride is a water ride that is located in Animal Kingdom park.
Disney usually closes this ride sometime in January or February each year to do a quick refurbishment.
It’s a good time of year for it since it can be a little too chilly for guests to go on a water ride during those months anyway.
Test Track
It is currently undergoing a huge refurbishment to transform it into Test Track 3.0.
This EPCOT attraction will reopen with a whole new storyline.
Triceratop Spin
DinoLand USA in Animal Kingdom is going to start experiencing some permanent closures as the whole land is set to permanently close.
TriceraTop Spin is amongst the first attractions to close. It will be permanently closing on January 12th.
If this is a ride you love, then hurry and go for one last spin before January 12th.
DinoLand USA is closing to make room for Tropical Americas Land, which will include a new Encanto ride and an Indiana Jones ride, both of which we are very excited about!
Tyhoon Lagoon
Typhoon Lagoon closed in November 2024 for some refurbishments. This is one of the two Disney World water parks.
It does not have a reopening date yet, but based on past years, it will probably reopen in the spring.
So far these are all of the ride closures in January 2025 in Disney World. Hopefully there was nothing too disappointing on this list for you!
