Three Major Disney World Experiences Will Be Closed in November
Concentrated scheduled work will reduce ride and water-park options during the holiday ramp-up, increasing pressure on remaining attractions and guest plans.
Overview
- As of Sunday, October 25, 2026, Disney confirmed that Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and Typhoon Lagoon will be unavailable to guests for portions of November.
- Carousel of Progress has been closed since July 6, 2026, for a major creative overhaul and now is expected to reopen in spring 2027 after new era scenes and a Walt Disney Audio‑Animatronics figure are added.
- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is scheduled to close on November 4, 2026, and to reopen on December 18, 2026, with guests visiting November 1–3 likely able to ride before the shutdown begins.
- Typhoon Lagoon will remain closed through November for its annual refurbishment with no reopening date provided, and Disney’s Blizzard Beach will serve as the primary water‑park alternative.
- Visitors should recheck the My Disney Experience app and official operating calendars, build backup itineraries, and expect higher crowds at remaining attractions during the holiday ramp‑up.
