7 Disney World Attractions Are CLOSED With No Reopening Date In Sight

Disney World has been BUSY this week with preparations for the Halloween season. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party officially kicked off on August 12th, and we had a blast bringing you all of the latest updates from the event. We also saw new Halloween merchandise, treats, decorations, and photo ops in Magic Kingdom. But what’s still MISSING from Disney World?

Halloween is here!

Amid all the spooky chaos, there are still some rides and attractions that are unavailable right now. Let’s take a look at everything that’s going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week.

Magic Kingdom

Walt Disney World Railroad

Although the Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for a LONG time and still doesn’t have a reopening date, we’ve seen some very promising signs that this attraction could reopen soon. For example, we saw some engine testing, and Cast Members were spotted training for the ride!

Walt Disney World Railroad Main Street Station

Construction on the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster has interrupted the train tracks in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom. The coaster doesn’t have an opening date either, but we’ll be on the lookout for more information about both attractions.

Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.

The Space Mountain gift shop, which is called Tomorrowland Light & Power Co., has also been shut down by TRON construction. People are being directed to exit Space Mountain a different way instead of leaving the ride through the gift shop.

Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. Construction

The gift shop is currently scheduled to be closed through early October, which is as far as Disney’s refurbishments calendar shows right now.

Enchanted Tales with Belle

Enchanted Tales with Belle is an attraction where people can help Belle tell the story of Beauty and the Beast. This spot has been closed for a long time, and it also doesn’t have a reopening date.

Enchanted Tales with Belle

If you want to see Belle in Magic Kingdom, you can usually spot her at the front of the Festival of Fantasy parade, which runs in Magic Kingdom once or twice each day. Check the times on the My Disney Experience app to find out when it’s running during your trip.

Pete’s Silly Sideshow

At Pete’s Silly Sideshow, you could previously meet characters like Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy. This spot — located in Storybook Circus — is still closed, and Disney hasn’t said exactly when it will reopen.

Pete’s Silly Sideshow

However, Disney has said that it will reopen sometime “in the coming months” — an announcement that was made a few months ago. So the Silly Sideshow could reopen any day now!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

We’re getting very close to the reopening of Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, which is a Disney princess and prince salon for kids ages 3 to 12. This spot will reopen on August 25th, and reservations are available NOW!

It’s open for Cast Member previews!

Recently, we’ve seen the Magic Kingdom location open for Cast Member previews, although guests are still not able to go inside. Note that Disney has not yet announced when the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique locations at Disney Springs or Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort will open.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

Disney’s Voyage of the Little Mermaid show is still closed in this park, and we don’t know yet when it will reopen. Disney has yet to provide an update on this attraction.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we hear when or if this show will reopen.

Fantasmic!

We’re hoping to get an update on the Fantasmic! show soon. Disney has announced that it will return this year (in 2022), but they haven’t given us a specific opening date yet. It’s possible that we’ll get more news about this show during the D23 Expo in September.

Note that the show will look a little bit different once it returns — Disney said there will be new effects, stunts, and characters to see.

Will Fantasmic! return to Disney World soon? Here’s what we know.

EPCOT

Canada Far & Wide in CircleVision 360

The Canada Far & Wide movie attraction (located in the Canada pavilion of World Showcase) looks a little bit different right now. That’s because this theater is currently hosting the Appleseed Orchard food booth, which is part of the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

2022 Appleseed Orchard Festival Booth

Instead of a movie, the theater is currently offering an apple crumble tart and a variety of apple-flavored drinks. We’re expecting the movie to return after November 19th (once the Food & Wine Festival is over).

Disney World Water Parks

Blizzard Beach

Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is still closed right now, and it has been for almost all of 2022. However, guests can still visit Typhoon Lagoon — Disney World’s other water park.

Ski Lift at Blizzard Beach

We recently wrote an update about what’s going on inside Blizzard Beach right now — you can read that here!
