Overview

• Mickey’s PhilharMagic at Magic Kingdom will be closed November 1–22, with Disney’s calendar listing showtimes resuming November 23.
• Vacation Fun at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will go dark starting October 20, with Disney only stating it will reopen later this year.
• Disney has not detailed the scope of either project, and a reporter’s claim that PhilharMagic will get new seats remains unconfirmed by the company.
• The timing precedes the busy Thanksgiving period, aligning with Disney’s practice of scheduling short refurbishments before peak crowds.
• These updates arrive alongside longer projects including Big Thunder Mountain’s overhaul into 2026, Buzz Lightyear’s refurbishment into next year, and the permanent closure of Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island for a Cars-themed expansion.
