Disney parks across Florida, France, and Japan are cycling through significant temporary closures this year, ranging from roughly two-week facility shutdowns to a nearly ten-month overhaul. Planning around them now is far easier than rerouting an itinerary mid-trip.
Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Peter Pan’s Flight — four Tokyo Disneyland staples, all temporarily closed at the same time during overlapping January and early-February 2027 dates. That’s the reality for visitors who don’t check the calendar before booking flights. Disney parks across Florida, France, and Japan are cycling through significant temporary closures this year, ranging from roughly two-week facility shutdowns to a nearly ten-month overhaul.

Tokyo Takes the Biggest Hit
No other Disney destination concentrates this many simultaneous closures into a single four-month window.
Jungle Cruise: Wildlife Expeditions runs January 6 through March 31 — nearly three months dark, the longest single closure on the Tokyo Disneyland schedule. Peter Pan’s Flight, Splash Mountain, and Haunted Mansion all close within two days of each other in early January, returning by early February. Tokyo DisneySea adds Journey to the Center of the Earth (January 8–March 8) and the DisneySea Electric Railway (January 8–February 10) to the picture. Tokyo Disney Resort lists these as temporary facility closures; specific reasons aren’t always published for each attraction, and the resort notes that closure periods are subject to change.

Paris and Florida: Fewer Closures, Still Worth Checking
Two Paris closures carry serious operational weight, while Walt Disney World is largely watching one clock.
Guests arriving at Disneyland Paris before summer should expect Crush’s Coaster to remain unavailable. Dark since September 7, 2026, it is undergoing what Disney describes as its most extensive technical refurbishment since the ride opened in 2007. Selected track sections, control systems, sensors, and communications equipment are all being replaced, followed by extensive testing — with scenic elements cleaned, repainted, and repaired alongside the technical work. Disney says the project targets a summer 2027 return, though no exact date is confirmed.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril adds a separate closure beginning January 4, 2027, scheduled to last several months. Visitors with Paris trips in the first half of the year should account for both attractions being unavailable simultaneously. Families weighing their options might also consider a theme park alternative while their preferred Disney destinations are under refurbishment.
At Walt Disney World, Carousel of Progress remains the main story. The attraction has been closed since July 6, 2026, with Disney expecting a 2027 reopening that includes updated scenes. No confirmed reopening date has been announced. As for Disneyland California, no comparable 2027 closure schedule has been published in the materials reviewed — but absence of a published schedule is not a guarantee of clear sailing.
Temporary closure dates and reopening estimates can shift without notice. Cross-reference each resort’s official calendar against your booking window — and check again closer to departure.
