Disney World rides can close for re-dos at any time, but the winter “ride closure season” from early January though mid-February is the most predictable time for Disney World rides to close for rehab and refurbishment.
Splash Mountain is the major attraction that most commonly closes in this period, with closures of a week, a month (most common) and several months.
So far–in great news–it looks like Splash Mountain will only close for a few days in 2016. A couple of other great rides are closed around the same time, however.
Here’s what we currently (think we) know about 2016 Disney World winter ride closures:
Magic Kingdom:
- Splash Mountain closed January 6 – January 10
- Liberty Belle Riverboat closed January 18 – 22
- Space Mountain closed January 11 – 15
- Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin closed January 15 – February 11
Animal Kingdom – no known closings
Disney’s Hollywood Studios – no known closings
Epcot – no known closings
I’ll add more winter ride closures as they are announced…

Hi Roe, see this: http://yourfirstvisit.net/2013/08/12/february-2014-at-walt-disney-world/
Hi, We are planning our trip from FebRUary 26-March 5. Any info regarding these dates would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Mandy, e-mailing won;t help, as any other schedule will cause others to email! You could always go to Disneyland instead 🙂
Was this even remotely helpful?
Well then mosey on over to the home page, and like it on Facebook or pin it on Pinterest!
Wdwinfo.com says that It’s A Small World will be closed for our visit in Dec (2nd through 12th). I’m so bummed! This will be the only time we’re going when our kids are little. I guess we will drag them in there as teenagers. I don’t suppose Disney can be persuaded to change their schedule due to relentless emailing? 🙂
Hi Chelsea! Before Disney changed their website, I could tell you…but now, I don’t know, so instead of looking around, I rely on sources I respect like TouringPlans.com, which is where this stuff came from!
