Kali River Rapids Reopens at Animal Kingdom on December 12

The early refurbishment is viewed as a capacity move as DINOSAUR’s February closure approaches.

Overview

  • Disney’s official attraction page lists December 12, 2025, as the reopening date for Kali River Rapids, with operating hours not yet posted.
  • The ride has been closed since October 6, an earlier-than-usual pause that departs from its typical January-to-spring maintenance window.
  • Coverage notes no announced upgrades, indicating routine work, and a Cast Member told AllEars that wood replacement was expected.
  • Outlets frame the timing as helping maintain attraction capacity during the busy holiday period and before DINOSAUR’s permanent closure on February 2, 2026.
  • Guests should expect to get wet, and first-come, first-served lockers are available across from the attraction entrance.
