Several rides and attractions have been closing for refurbishment in Disney World, but it’s not the only Disney resort to experience these closures.

Over at Disneyland, you’ll find a lot of similar rides as in Disney World especially classics like “it’s a small world,” the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and others. As the original Disney park, it’s visited every day by many visitors who come to experience the Happiest Place on Earth. However, starting today, September 16th, two of the classic Disney rides will be closing for refurbishment.

The Jungle Cruise and “it’s a small world” are both now closed in Disneyland Park for refurbishment. Jungle Cruise will reopen on October 4th, before “it’s a small world.” This means that as of today, both Jungle Cruises on either U.S. coast are currently closed for maintenance.

“it’s a small world” in Disneyland will reopen on November 15th as “it’s a small world” Holiday! When you ride this attraction again it will be decorated with the holiday overlay for the Christmas and holiday season.

Temporary closures like these for refurbishment are common at the Disney parks. They allow for regular maintenance and checkups on the rides to ensure everything is working properly. This provides guests with safe rides and experiences.

While these rides are closed, you can jump on the many other rides around the Disneyland park. Other popular favorites include Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, Peter Pan’s Flight, and others. There is still lots to do and experience around the park while these two rides are closed.

We’ll be waiting for Jungle Cruise and “it’s a small world” to reopen later this fall, but in the meantime, keep following DFB for more Disney news!
