Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to Close For Refurbishment In June
Guests heading to Walt Disney World in early June will want to take note that one of Magic Kingdom’s mountains is closing for refurbishment.
Reports began surfacing yesterday that Disney would be carrying out some routine maintenance on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and we can now confirm that is true.
As you can see from Disney World’s website this morning the refurbishment will take place from June 7 through June 12th. We promise to be on the lookout for any additional updates regarding this closure. This is also not the only Magic Kingdom ride or attraction down just now.
Due to continuing construction on the TRON coaster coming to Tomorrowland, the Walt Disney World Railroad is impacted. This means that all stations are closed at the moment and trains are not currently running.
The Hall of Presidents is also going through its post-election closure while the ride is being updated to include our new President. No reopening date has been given as of yet.
If you’ve been following along with us here at MickeyBlog you’ll know that we also previously reported that beloved candy spot the Main Street Confectionary is closed for renovations. Select items can still be purchased at the adjacent Main Street Cinema. The new and improved Confectionary is not expect to open until the Fall.
ICYMI: Skyliner Closure in Early 2022
Let’s fast-forward to the start of next year. As we reported yesterday Disney’s Skyliner route will be officially closed for 5-days in January. The closure will happen from January 23 – January 28 and the line between EPCOT International Gateway, Disney’s Riviera Resort and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort will be closed. During this time bus transportation will be provided for guests going to EPCOT. Friendship boat service will also be available to take guests from EPCOT to Disney’s Hollywood Studios as well as Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts.
We follow refurbishments closely and will keep you posted of additional closures as they come up!
