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.
