What are the Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure Ride and Attraction closures for January 2013? The parks constantly need refurbishment so it is always wise to check what the closure schedule is before you visit any park.
The major closure right now in Disneyland is Big Thunder Mountain which is undergoing a major refurbishment and will not reopen until October 30th 2013. Disney has confirmed that Big Thunder Mountain will get new ride vehicles, track will be replaced (but no changes to the current course, and that portions of the mountain will be repainted. This is my 6 year old’s favorite Disneyland ride at the moment so it is going to be a long wait until Fall 2013!
