11 Disneyland Attractions Closing for Refurbishment This January

If you are planning a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth to ring in the New Year, you’ll want to grab your planners! While the holiday magic at Disneyland Resort is in full swing through January 7th, the post-holiday “refurbishment season” is right around the corner.

Disney has officially updated its calendar, and it looks like a total of 11 attractions across Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure will be taking a temporary hiatus starting this January.

Here is the breakdown of what is closing and when so you can avoid any “Blue Character” moments on your next vacation!

Disneyland Park Closures

The most notable closure on the list is a heavy hitter from a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is scheduled to close for routine maintenance starting January 20, 2026. Disney hasn’t shared a reopening date just yet, but these “routine” stops usually last a few weeks.

We’re also seeing the annual “un-decking of the halls” as seasonal favorites transition back to their classic versions:

• Haunted Mansion: Closing Jan. 12 – Jan. 22 to remove the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay.
• “it’s a small world”: Closing Jan. 26 to remove its holiday lights and decor (Reopening TBD, typically early February).

Other Disneyland Park refurbishments include:

• Mark Twain Riverboat: Jan. 12 – Jan. 15
• Sailing Ship Columbia: Starting Jan. 26 (Reopening TBD)
• “Fantasmic”: Jan. 5-8, Jan. 11-15, Jan. 18-22 and Jan. 25-29.
• Pixie Hollow in Fantasyland: closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays in January

Disney California Adventure Closures

Over at DCA, the winter months usually mean it’s time to dry off the water rides and tune up the coasters.

• Grizzly River Run: Closing Jan. 5 for its annual winter maintenance. Expect this one to be down through early spring.
• Incredicoaster: Also taking a break starting Jan. 5 (Reopening TBD).
• Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind: Closing Jan. 5 – Jan. 22.
• Redwood Creek Challenge Trail: Closing Jan. 8 (Reopening TBD)
