Originally Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was scheduled to be refurbished April 4th through July 15th; we are now being told the refurbishment will take place August 8th through November 18th, reopening on November 19th.
Big thunder mountain has not had a major refurbishment since 2012 although there have been some smaller refurbishments since.
We are hopefully that this long refurbishment will lead to some new great enhancements. Possibly some high tech advancements like what was done in Disneyland.
Check out our current list of Disney World Closures and Refurbishments for the month of March here.
Are you going to miss out on BTMR this fall? Let us know in the comment box below.

I was originally going to miss riding this ride when I go next month (April 2016). Now, I have a Fastpass for it! I know it will be bad for those going in late summer-mid fall, but for those going from now until August, we can ride BTM again!

NOOOOO! I wish they were doing this during the down season 🙁 We’re bringing a first timer with us this Aug. Bummer! I know it needs to be done though. I’m not one of THOSE people, lol. Can’t wait to see the changes when we go back again!
