Resortwide Ride Downtime Disrupts Walt Disney World on Saturday

Operations returned to normal Sunday without an official explanation.

Overview

  • Temporary closures cycled across all four parks on January 10, with attractions going offline and later reopening throughout the day.
  • Notable affected rides included Space Mountain, Test Track, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safaris, and others.
  • Disney’s Hollywood Studios experienced fewer shutdowns but absorbed heavier crowds that pushed waits higher at major attractions.
  • Reports framed the outages as routine operational interruptions rather than long-term refurbishments or broader system problems.
  • By January 11, guests and tracking showed previously affected attractions operating normally with wait times returning to expected levels.
