Mickey and Minnie are packing their bags… again! Disney has announced that Vacation Fun, the Mickey & Minnie animated short in the Mickey Shorts Theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, will temporarily close at the end of October.

And if this sounds like déjà vu, you’re totally not imagining it. This attraction has given us whiplash with its closures and reopenings so far this year, and we’re starting to wonder what exactly Disney is thinking with this back-and-forth. Vacation Fun only reopened on September 28th, which means it lasted about a month before getting the “see you later” treatment. Here’s everything we know.

Vacation Fun at Hollywood Studios is closing again on October 28th, after only being open for a month following a prior closure. The attraction previously closed on August 9th so Disney could use the Mickey Shorts Theater for Annual Passholder Magnet distribution. Before that, the attraction was closed from April 29th to May 5th for a Star Wars May the 4th Merchandise Event located in the theater.

For those planning a Hollywood Studios visit who want to see the show, your last day to do so will be October 27th. As of now, Disney hasn’t announced a reopening date or what this closure might be for, but the timing would suggest that it might have something to do with Jollywood Nights, which starts on November 7th. 

Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed holiday event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that takes place on select nights from November 7th, 2026 to January 5th, 2027 (extending into the New Year for the first time!). Tickets are now on sale.

Throughout the park, guests are able to experience unique music and entertainment inspired by different genres. On Commissary Lane, for example, guests can explore the lively Holiday Fiesta en la Calle, while Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy host a live holiday special at Theater of the Stars with some other Disney special guests (like Princess Tiana and Belle).

And Jack Skellington himself hosts a special sing-along themed to Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas at Hyperion Theater in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and a DJ spins holiday tunes on Hollywood Boulevard. And several times throughout the event, Hollywood Boulevard hosts a skating spectacular, Glisten, featuring international champion skaters set to holiday music!

We’ll be on the lookout for additional Hollywood Studios updates and more. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and beyond!
