Disney4me Posted Thursday at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:00 PM Okay, we’re starting to get a little intimidated by how close 2025 is getting. Hollywood Studios We’re just a few short weeks away from the new year starting, and we already know that a LOT is happening in Disney World right at the start of the new year. With loads of construction and changes on the way for the resort, the new year will be kicking off with a bang as those changes start to take place. If you’re planning to visit Disney World in January, there are a total of SIX ride closures you need to know about! Magic Kingdom TWO ride closures are hitting Magic Kingdom at the beginning of the month. The first we’ve known about for a few weeks now — Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be closing for at LEAST a year-long closure on January 6th and will be reopening in 2026 with some extra magic changes. We don’t know what those will be yet, but we’re excited! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad The second closure was just announced recently — Astro Orbiter will be closing in Tomorrowland on January 13th and won’t be reopening until Summer 2025. This will bring an already popular land in the park down an attraction, which will likely increase wait times for other attractions around the area. Astro Orbiter Finally, later in January, the Hall of Presidents will be closing. The refurbishment begins on January 20th and there is currently no end date. Hall of Presidents EPCOT Test Track will remain closed throughout January as it moves towards its rethemed/refurbished opening coming in late Summer 2025. We’re really looking forward to seeing what the new iteration of this ride will look like, but we half wish Summer would just get here already! Test Track construction Recently, it was just announced that Gran Fiesta Tour, located in the Mexico Pavilion, will be closing on January 13th for a two-month long closure! Gran Fiesta Tour starring The Three Caballeros The ride is currently scheduled to reopen on March 15th, but that reopening date could move up or be pushed back at any time. Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom is the only park that has a ride closing for good and will then be demolished. January 13th will be a sad day because it’ll be the day TriceraTop Spin is no more in DinoLand U.S.A. TriceraTop Spin Kali River Rapids will also be temporarily closing on January 6th. While we don’t have an exact reopening date for this ride just yet, this isn’t uncommon. This ride typically closes in the winter for a short period of time to undergo regular maintenance during the colder winter months. Kali River Rapids It’ll certainly be an interesting way to start 2025, but Disney’s Hollywood Studios is so far unaffected for the beginning of the new year, so this will be where you’ll likely see the fewest construction walls up and rides closed.
