Magic Kingdom

Hall of Presidents

The Hall of Presidents has been closed for quite a while now. The attraction is adding an animatronic of President Joe Biden. There is currently no set reopening date.


Walt Disney World Railroad

Can you believe the Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for over 2 years? It’s all due to the ongoing construction on TRON: Lightcycle Run which is blocking the railroad’s path through Tomorrowland. There is still no reopening date in sight for the railroad.

Main Street Confectionery

The Main Street Confectionery closed last month and its refurbishment will last into the summer months. It looks like the shop could reopen on July 4, but that date is subject to change.
