There are several ride closures planned in July for both Disneyland and Disney World. Some of these ride closures are for planned ride overhauls to update older attractions, and some closures are planned for routine maintenance. See all the May Disney ride closures here and June changes here.
The good news is that the springtime refurbishments are starting to wind down, and more rides are now open. It is important to note that any dates listed here are subject to change, and there is always the possibility of more attractions closing for changes or general refurbishment. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including seven major changes to Disney World resort hopping restrictions and new popcorn bucket availability added to Disneyland.
