Three Classic Disneyland Attractions Facing Early Summer Closures
If you are planning a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth to kick off the sunny summer season, you might want to double-check your itinerary! Disneyland Resort has officially scheduled temporary refurbishments for three fan-favorite attractions, meaning some major landmarks will be taking a brief hiatus just as the summer crowds start to roll in.

While routine maintenance is a necessary part of keeping the magic running smoothly, it can definitely catch unsuspecting park-goers off guard. Here is a look at which classic attractions are currently down or heading into hibernation as June arrives.
Disneyland is preparing to temporarily close three additional attractions for seasonal refurbishments just as the busy summer season kicks into high gear. With schools letting out and families flocking to the Anaheim theme parks for their summer vacations, these scheduled maintenance windows will mean a few more temporary adjustments for park-goers’ itineraries.
Starting in June, Soarin’ Over California, Pixie Hollow, and the nighttime spectacular “Fantasmic!” will all pause operations. These closures are part of standard, routine refurbishments or pre-planned seasonal scheduling across both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
These three upcoming closures will join an already extensive list of dark attractions. The resort’s current refurbishment lineup already includes major favorites like Pirates of the Caribbean, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Silly Symphony Swings, and Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind, all of which were previously shuttered for maintenance.
Soarin’ Over California is preparing to wrap up its popular seasonal revival at Disney California Adventure. The nostalgia-fueled flight over the Golden State, which returned for the park’s Food & Wine Festival, will officially end its run on June 30.
The attraction will close for a single day on July 1 to allow Imagineers to install a brand-new, patriotic-themed film just in time for the 250th anniversary of the United States. The all-new experience, titled Soarin’ Across America, will make its official West Coast debut on July 2, taking guests on a limited-time journey over iconic landscapes and cityscapes from sea to shining sea.
Over at Disneyland Park, the “Fantasmic!” nighttime spectacular along the Rivers of America will briefly go dark on June 16 and 18. Don’t fret if you’re visiting later in the week, though—daily performances of the beloved show are expected to continue standard operations throughout the rest of the summer.
Meanwhile, Pixie Hollow in Fantasyland is implementing a modified operating schedule for the month. The whimsical meet-and-greet area will be closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout June (specifically June 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, 25, and 30). These brief weekday pauses come shortly after the character spot wrapped up a major, 10-month refurbishment to refresh Tinker Bell’s home.
Will any of these closures impact your visit?
