Updated Refurb List for Disney World Now Available

It’s helpful to know which rides will be down during your vacation, so that’s why the refurbishment list is good to look at before your trip. The latest refurb list is now available on the website and in the Facebook groups.

The refurb list will let you know which rides, shows, and restaurants will be closed during your vacation. During the fall and winter months the water parks will also take turns being closed for complete refurbs each year. So it helps to know dates of when things will be closed.

The latest refurb list shows the FastPass system being down for Toy Story Mania! as they complete construction on Toy Story Land. For the days when FastPasses are not available I would suggest getting to the park before it opens (an hour or so before) so you can make it to Toy Story Maina! and hopefully not have a long wait.

Here is the complete refurb list:
