Mad Tea Party Reopening at Disneyland
Mad Tea Party is a classic opening day attraction at Disneyland Park, giving guests an opportunity to spin a teacup as fast as they can as the vehicle rotates on a turntable. The ride recreates the whimsy of Alice in Wonderland, and its bright colors are a charming aesthetic highlight of Fantasyland, an area of Disneyland that many guests overlook.

Disneyland closed Mad Tea Party for standard refurbishment on September 14, 2026, with no reopening date announced at the time.
Public permits filed with the city of Anaheim shortly before the closure clarified Disney’s intentions to install a new post with a prop and replace at least some of the lanterns hanging from the vines above the turntable, among other back-end changes.
Following the ride’s several weeks of downtime, we now know when its closure will end. Mad Tea Party will reopen on October 16, 2026. This is reflected both in Disneyland’s daily calendar and the individual attraction’s operating hours.
On the other side of the park, Indiana Jones Adventure has been closed for refurbishment since September 8, with no reopening date announced.
Earlier this year, we went behind the scenes with Disneyland’s maintenance team to hear about how these cast members navigate refurbishments of classic rides.
