Refurbishment Schedule

---

I understand that it can be frustrating to get to the parks only to discover that the attraction you have been waiting months to experience is closed. That is why I keep this updated list of scheduled closures and refurbishments. Keep in mind that ride malfunctions do happen, and that there are times when there will be unannounced closings, but hopefully this list will help to plan the best time to schedule your vacation so you don't miss out on your "Must Do List".

Magic Kingdom

The Monorail is currently under refurbishment for an undisclosed amount of time. As a result, routes and service may be modified. Alternative transportation should be available. It would be a good idea to check what options are available the day you plan to travel and determine which option works best for you.
