Which attractions are closed at disney world

Its our Golden Wedding Anniversary, and I'm inviting any suggestions for a special celebration as we'll have our 2 grandchildren with us too. We're not so mobile as our several visits many years ago now! First of all, congratulations! That is certainly something to celebrate : At Universal, you can get a free celebratory button, for starters! At Disney World, you can also get a button, and it might be a nice memento to get some fresh celebratory ears : We'd also suggest a dinner together as a family at a park of your choosing or even Disney Springs - be sure to let them know when booking that it's your anniversary, and let your server know upon being seated, as well!

Some other add-ons include VIP tours, and don't froget to add on photo packages at both parks to keep those memories with you! Others in the Frog Pond may have some suggestions, as well. Have a wonderful time! I understand that Mickey will no longer be at the Town square theatre as of Sept 30? Is this correct or is it that Minnie will no longer be with him or no longer the birthday outfits? I also see they stopped the character spot at Epcot too. We go the week of October 7, only hitting Magic Kingdom and Epcot, where can we get pictures with Mickey?

In the past, this has just been a meet-and-greet for Mickey, so our best guess is that after Sept. The Character Spot in Epcot is closing temporarily to make way for some changes, but we unfortunately don't have an estimated re-opening date just yet.

Be sure to get a Times Guide when you enter to see if he'll be popping up somewhere else! We'll also update this post as soon as we know more. Rumor is that a small world will close. I hope this is not true. It is loved by so many, especially my family. It will be very upsetting if the rumor is true. Can you confirm? We have not heard any news about its a small world closing and would be really surprised if that were true!

We think it's safe :. Unfortunately, refurbishment details haven't been released just yet. While the timeframe is generally about the same each year, sometimes the exact dates can shift a little, so we aren't able to say for certain. We've got our eyes and ears open! We are staying there in early July '19 and wondered whether this is true and if they would impact upon our stay there.

It looks like the flooring in the lobby is being replaced in several stages through September 7th, so it may overlap with your stay. However, because this is being done in stages, we don't anticipate it being much of an intrusion.

In fact, Disney doesn't even have this listed in their general refurbishment list. Be sure to let us know! Have a frogtastic trip! Do you have any idea when the Hogwarts Express is finished maintenance? We are going July 9 and it was the major reason we chose park to park tickets. Thank you! Do you know when the refurbishment will start at Saratoga Springs Resort? Any ideas as to which areas they will start with?

I don't see it listed, but I believe that the Jurassic Park ride at Universal is currently closed for refurb as it is being turned into Jurassic World, any idea as to whether it will be re-opened by the beginning of August?

We don't know the opening date yet, but as soon as we know more, we'll be sure to update! You're correct! If we go by past schedules, it should be Typhoon Lagoon that is open in November, as it typically goes through its refurbishment from January - March, while Blizzard Beach gets spruced up from October - January. Going to Disney world from May 11 to May 17?

What are the chances that tomorrow land speedway and Rafikis Planet watch will be open? Unfortunately, the most up-to-date information that we have is that Rafiki's Planet watch will re-open in "spring", and that Tomorrowland Speedway will be open mid-May.

We'll be sure to add updates as we receive them! With the new select your date tickets at Walt Disney World, do you have to go to a park the first day you select?

We are going to be there 6 days and I want to purchase a 5 day ticket. I am not sure if we are over tired from our flight we might not want to go that first day but will go the following 5 days?

That's correct - when selecting your date for tickets, you'll need to choose the date you think you'll enter the parks. If you DO end up skipping a day, I'd suggest heading to the ticketing booth if you're purchasing directly from Disney to see if they can help adjust the ticket for you. Does admission to Universal Orlando also include the Harry Potter portion?

I've been given mixed messages. This depends on which ticket you purchase. If the ticket says "1 park," you can either go to Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios, but not both in the same day; if you have a 2-park ticket, you can go to both parks in the same day. We have a hoppin' deal right now where you can get a 2 day, 2 park ticket to Universal, plus 2 additional days FREE!

What about the time between Christmas and New Year? These are the very busiest times of the year to visit. Earlier in December is better, although this year with the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, we expect it will be busier all month. Do you have any idea when all the rooms at the All Star Movies Resort will be some?

We are going at the beginning of April and hope construction will be done and to have the new rooms. The room updates at All Star Movies are still going on, though there's no end date available to the public.

It never hurts to give the resort a call and request a finished room! They look beautiful -- enjoy your trip! I am shortly booking with you accommodation at Art of Animation plus Disneyworld tickets. Could you please tell me if I still get the free shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel and can I purchase a Memory Maker through you.

Yes, you can use Disney's Magical Express if you purchase with us. Here are more details. You would need to purchase Memory Maker directly through Disney. Do you guys think the hippy dippy pool will already be open again? Unfortunately, they haven't released the exact date or month to know what Disney means by "early spring" for the Hippy Dippy pool refurb.

We'll update this list as soon as we know more! Hello, we are visiting Disney World the week of January 20th in I'm planning a birthday trip for my son to Disney this September. Any idea how will be the weather? The use of umbrellas will be extremely necessary? The average temperature in Orlando in September is a high of 84 degrees and a low of 70 degrees, with 11 rainy days. However, you just never know in Orlando, and we highly recommend packing some ponchos and a travel umbrella just to be safe.
