Many people are going to visit Disney World during the first month of the year. However, keep an eye out for these specific dates, because some of your favorite attractions may be closed during January.
A new year begins
January is the month of new beginnings. We start to take action on the New Year resolutions and start planning our next steps in all the different areas of our lives. One of those areas is all about fun and entertainment! It's important to leave some space for our inner child in 2024, and what better way to do it than with a Disney Park?

It's also time to check your schedule and plan wisely your next trip, because some Disney park attractions (that we dearly love and enjoy) may be closed in January. Let’s check them out
Temporarily closed attractions in January
January 8th, 2024
- Rock n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith (Hollywood Studios, nobody knows when it's going to open again)
- Kali River Rapids (Animal Kingdom)

January 16th, 2024
- Disney Skyliner (Hollywood Studios, until January 21st)
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (Magic Kingdom, until January 22nd)

Why are they going to be closed?
The majority of the closures are due to refurbishment projects and maintenance. As we said, everyone is taking action on their New Year resolutions, and Disney is not an exception. They want to keep their fans’ favorite spots well-preserved and updated. Million dollar rides like roller coasters need a lot of love, and must close down once in a while so they are updated and are working properly.

Do not worry, these closures do not have to interfere with your wonderful time at Disney World. Contact us and we can suggest so many more activities that will fit your schedule and everything else you need for your perfect trip.
We would love to help you out in any way possible, so do not hesitate to ask any further questions. Our team is ready to shower you with love!
