Ride closures at Disney might be a bummer, but they’re essential for keeping the magic fresh. September brings notable refurbishments to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, affecting a few beloved attractions. If you're planning a visit, here's what you'll need to know to avoid surprises.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is closed for a major update until 2026. Big changes are underway with added characters, updated ride vehicles, and new game mechanics. Dumbo the Flying Elephant's playground is also shut down, removing a crucial play area for kids waiting in line. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad remains closed for extended work, possibly tying into larger park expansions.
Over at EPCOT, Spaceship Earth will temporarily go offline soon for routine maintenance. This classic ride won't be back on track until later this year.
Planning an upcoming trip? You might want to consider fun alternatives like Space Mountain or Toy Story Mania for Buzz Lightyear fans, the Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station for those missing Dumbo's play area, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train for coaster enthusiasts.
