2026 is set to be an exciting year for Disney World, gearing up with some major updates and changes!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin are coming back with fresh renovations, and new lands like Piston Peak, the Tropical Americas, and Monstropolis are shaping up across the parks. Yet, with these exciting additions, a few classics are being closed permanently.
There are two significant closures that might happen in 2026, so if you're planning a visit, take note!
This iconic ride at Hollywood Studios will see its current Aerosmith theme vanish to transform into a Muppet-themed adventure, spotlighting Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. It's a move to keep The Muppets alive in the park following the closure of Muppets Courtyard in 2025.
The revamped ride is expected in summer 2026, promising an exhilarating music-filled journey with a Muppet twist!
Rumor has it that Carousel of Progress might also face changes, introducing a new Walt Disney animatronic as part of an updated intro scene. This is a fitting addition to an attraction that bears Walt Disney's name and legacy.
Disney has hinted at more updates for this classic ride, with details to be shared in due course.
We'll keep you posted with any new announcements about these closures.
