Disney Announced 6 Ride Closures in June 2026 For Refurbishment and Ride Changes

There are several ride closures planned in June 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.

The good news is that the spring time 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 six new Lightning Lane changes and new menu items added to Disney World

On May 4, both Pirates of the Caribbean and Blue Bayou Restaurant closed for refurbishment. Blue Bayou Restaurant reopened on May 21 with walls blocking off the view of Pirates. However, Pirates of the Caribbean will remain closed a bit longer. Disney has shared with us that Pirates of the Caribbean’s refurbishment is expected to last around a month, but no specific reopening date has been announced yet.

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters closed on April 13 and currently has no set reopening date. That being said, Toy Story 5 releases in theaters on June 19, 2026. It is hard to imagine Disney not operating a major attraction themed to a flagship franchise’s new movie during the film’s release window.

Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind is still currently closed with no set reopening date. Silly Symphony Swings closed on April 27, and it also has no set reopening date.

The previous Animation Courtyard area in Hollywood Studios is closed for its reimagining into The Walt Disney Studios, which will partially reopen later this summer. Currently, the courtyard and Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! are now open. The experiences inside Magic of Disney Animation will reopen later this summer.

The Walt Disney World Railroad is currently operating under a modified route that excludes the Frontierland station, with the train operating in “shuttle mode” between Main Street station and Fantasyland station. The train will remain in this “shuttle mode” for the next few years while work continues on Piston Peak, the new Cars-inspired land, and Villains Land.

Walt Disney World recently opened a ton of new and refreshed attractions. You can see the full list that moved off the closures list here.
