Listen, your 2025 trip to Disney World is coming up sooner than you think!

As we said, 2025 is right around the corner which means you’ve really got no time to waste making all the preparations for which hotel you’re going to stay at, the food you’re going to eat, and what’s going to go in your suitcase! But there’s one thing that might have missed your radar and that is closures at Disney World in 2025. We’ve got your back — which is why we’ve brought you a handy dandy list of them so you don’t have to do all the work yourself (we’ve got you)! Let’s go!

Let’s waste no time and dive right into the full list of important Disney World Closures in 2025 that you need to know about! Let’s go!

Bay Lake Tower

Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort will be undergoing room refurbishment work from September 2024 to September 2025. You read that correctly — a whole year of construction work!

The main thing to note is that you will be seeing and hearing construction work in Bay Lake Tower and you might have to take detours, so just stay vigilant.

Disney’s Yacht Club

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort will also be undergoing room refurbishment work from January 2025 through May 2025. It isn’t quite clear if the work will be a light refurb or a full-on reimagining of the rooms (we’ll keep you posted).

Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool (which are shared by Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts) will undergo routine maintenance from January 2025 to June 2025. These pools are among the top favorites at the Disney World resorts.

The other pools at the hotel like the Tidal, Admiral, and Dunes Cove leisure pools will still be open, so you can still spend your time relaxing at the pool.

Fantasia Pool

Staying on the topic of pools, the Fantasia Pool over at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort will also undergo routine maintenance from January 2025 to April 2025.

While the refurbishment is happening, the Donald Duck pool will still be open, so you can enjoy a pool during your stay.

Perennial Closures

There are a couple of things that close annually in January for refurbishment like the Skyliner and the water rides at Disney World. Let’s start with the Skyliner.

In 2024, it closed from January 16th – 27th, which wasn’t too long. We might see a similar closure for it in 2025. We found out the official dates for the 2024 refurb back in October 2023, so we’ll probably find out about the 2025 refurb in October 2024. We’ll keep you posted!

Next, let’s talk about the water rides that tend to close in January. Kali River Rapids in Disney’s Animal Kingdom closed for its refurb from January 8th to March 15th, 2024. We can expect to see a similar closure in 2025. We’ll keep you updated on the official dates when Disney releases them!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom could potentially see a closure in January when the temperature gets quite low, but we don’t have an official word, so we’ll have to wait for Disney to share more!

Test Track

If you didn’t already know, Test Track closed for a HUGE makeover back on June 17th.

Disney stated that this new version of Test Track takes its inspiration from an OG ride — World of Motion. We don’t have many details about the project like a reopening date, so it’s possible given the size and scope of the project that it could potentially still be closed at the beginning of 2025. We’ll keep our eyes out for all the latest news about it and let you know ASAP.

Those are just a couple of closures in 2025 at Disney World that you should plan around. Until then, keep it right here at DFB for the latest Disney news!
