Rides Closed at Disneyland Today: Refurbishment Schedule

Last updated on August 5th, 2026 at 08:41 am

What’s closed at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure today? 

Here’s a quick list of ride closures, with a more in-depth breakdown below.

The official closure calendar is updated on a 6 week rolling basis. I get my information directly from official Disneyland sources and I’ll show you how you can find those sources too.

Ride closures happen year-round at Disneyland for a variety of reasons. It could be regular maintenance, a surprise repair, temporary down-time, or prepping for seasonal overlays. Either way, this guide will help you prepare better for your Disneyland vacation. 

And before you head back to Disneyland Resort, be sure to read up on all my best tips for Disneyland in 2026!

How to Find 2026 Ride Closures

Even my best efforts can’t keep up with the daily closure schedule, and sometimes things are closed temporarily or last minute. For the most up-to-date closure calendar, access the Disneyland App or Disneyland website.

And if you decide to change your trip due to popular rides being closed, you can now easily modify theme park reservations. 

1. Once inside the Disneyland App, scroll down to park hours and select “all hours”

2. Choose your date, usually available 6 weeks in advance schedules are available.

3. Scroll down to see which rides are closed at Disneyland today. This lists the closures happening for routine maintenance and not a temporary closure that can happen throughout the day.

Seasonal Closures

What’s the typical refurbishment schedule for Disneyland in 2026? I have a basic list you can refer to, but remember to check back closer to your travel dates for exact ride closures. 

This list is for traditional, seasonal refurbishments and is subject to change.

• Grizzly River Run closes most of January, February and sometimes March for its yearly maintenance. It’s a super popular ride, especially in the warmer months so closing during the cooler temperatures makes sense.
• Haunted Mansion closes in August to as Jack Skellington decks the halls. Closes again mid January to take it all down.
• “it’s a small world” closes late October to prep for the holiday version. It closes again for take down in mid-January and opens 2-3 weeks later.

• Space Mountain closes for brief times to change to/from Hyperspace Mountain surrounding Season of the Force and May 4th.
• Tiana’s Bayou Adventure closes most of January, February and sometimes March for its yearly maintenance—but I don’t expect that in 2026 or 2027 since it just debuted. 

Rides Closed Forever

Disneyland has been open for more than 60 years, so that’s a lot of rides to keep track of! Here I’ll mention the most notable ride, entertainment and dining closures in recent history. More details on these rides and others here.

• Cove Bar is now Lamplight Lounge and there’s so many delicious things to eat!
• A Pixar makeover came to Mickey’s Fun Wheel which is now Pixar Pal-A-Round.

Closed in the Rain

Closed for Fireworks

What rides are closed during fireworks? Fireworks are one of the highlights during a visit to Disneyland Resort and magically soar over Sleeping Beauty Castle at night. Here’s my guide to fireworks viewing and what’s playing now. 

It’s also smart to note, some attractions close completely before fireworks and don’t open again including:

• Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyer Island
• Sailing Ship Columbia

Parts of Fantasyland close, but reopen about 30-45 minutes after fireworks. Closures include:

• Alice in Wonderland
• Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride
• Peter Pan’s Flight
• Pinocchio’s Daring Journey
• Sleeping Beauty Castle
• Snow White’s Enchanted Wish
• Storybook Land Canal Boats
• Mickey’s Toontown (all rides and attractions inside this land now reopen after fireworks)

Did I miss any? Let me know!

Closed for World of Color

What rides are closed during World of Color? On the rare chance that World of Color starts during normal operating hours (yes, it starts after official park closing, read why here) there are some attractions nearby that close.

But more important to know is one ride that stays OPEN! It’s Toy Story Midway Mania and many people forget about riding it because most of the other rides in that area are closed.
