Walt Disney World Refurbishment Schedule for October 2017

In order to keep rides running smoothly and safely and resorts looking their best, Disney World often needs to close areas in order to perform maintenance on them or give them a fresh look. As much as we don’t like it when our favorite rides aren’t running, maintenance is necessary to keep guests safe during their park visits.  Here is a list of the rides, attractions, and resorts at the Walt Disney World Resort undergoing refurbishment in October 2017 and beyond:

Magic Kingdom: 

• Splash Mountain – This beloved headlining attraction will be closed for refurbishment from  8/28/17 – 11/16/17
• Hall of Presidents – This attraction remains closed for updates.  Disney hasn’t released official word regarding a re-opening but insiders speculate it will be later this year.
• Cinderella’s Royal Table – Will be closed February 28 – March 2, 2018

Water Parks

• Typhoon Lagoon – Annual Refurbishment is scheduled from January 7, 2018 – TBD.
• Blizzard Beach – Annual Refurbishment is scheduled from October 29, 2017 – January 6, 2018

Disney Transportation & Road Closures: 

• ESPN’s Wide World of Sports – Intermittent overnight lane closures, lane shifts, traffic congestion and noise impacts can be expected along Osceola Parkway / Victory Way until further notice.

Walt Disney World Resorts: 

• Art of Animation Resort – Due to Disney’s new Skyliner (gondola system) construction noise can be heard throughout the resort.  Rooms closest to the water will be the most affected.
