Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is currently closed

Yeah, we know. That’s a BIG bummer, especially if you’re visiting Disney World this year. However, this is the first big refurbishment that the Magic Kingdom ride has had in a while, so Disney obviously has big plans for updating it a bit. Now, we’ve already noticed quite a bit of work happening on the ride, and we even have a hint of when we think it might reopen in 2026, but what will have changed with the ride then? Well, it turns out the answer to that is…A LOT.

NEWS: Mickey and Minnie Meet-and-Greet Announces Multi-Day CLOSURE in Disney World

By 1 Comment

Okay, we’ll admit it. There is one Disney World park that feels a little…smaller right now. But that’s because BIG CHANGES are coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We’re getting an entirely new land — Pueblo Esperanza — in place of DinoLand U.S.A., and even the park’s icon, the Tree of Life, is getting a brand-new show called Zootopia: Better Zoogether! But while we wait for these additions, expect extra construction walls and closures around the park.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

In addition to the phased closure of DinoLand U.S.A. and the seasonal Kali River Rapids refurbishment, Disney just announced another temporary closure at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The popular Mickey and Minnie character meet-and-greet at Adventurer’s Outpost is closing this February.
