Will Kali River Rapids Close for a Refurbishment this Winter?
If you have plans to visit Walt Disney World and Disney’s Animal Kingdom in the new year, make sure to check your FastPasses! If you were hoping to take a wet ride on Kali River Rapids, there is the high possibility it will be closed for a refurbishment.
As a Travel Agent, I have had a client who had a FastPass scheduled for the attraction in the beginning of January. They have since received notification directly from Disney that their FastPass for Kali River Rapids has been subbed out for another attraction.
It’s important to note, that Disney has not yet announced an official refurbishment for the ride. However, in previous years, the ride does usually closes during the first part of the year anywhere from one day to several weeks. In previous years, these are the time frames the ride has closed:
- January 2, 2018 to February 10, 2018
- January 3, 2017 to February 13, 2017
- January 4, 2016 to March 17, 2016
- January 20, 2015 to February 9, 2015
- March 10, 2014 to March 13, 2014
- January 22, 2014
- January 16, 2014
- December 2, 2013 to December 13, 2013
- January 6, 2013 to February 14, 2013
- January 24, 2012 to February 9, 2012
- January 3, 2011 to January 29, 2011
Right now TouringPlans.com is reporting that the ride will be closed for several weeks in 2019 from January 7 to March 22, 2019.
While inconvenient, it has to be done. And, what better time for it to be done than during the coldest time of the year in Florida?
