Get ready for a magical adventure, but be warned: your favorite Disneyland attractions might be temporarily unavailable in 2026! Here's the scoop on the upcoming closures and why they matter.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Imagine the excitement of battling the First Order, only to find your favorite ride dark for months! Starting January 20, 2026, this iconic Galaxy's Edge attraction will undergo routine maintenance, leaving fans disappointed. While Disney hasn't revealed an official reopening date, rumors suggest it might linger until just before the busy President's Day weekend in mid-February.
Haunted Mansion
Prepare for a chilling experience! The Haunted Mansion will temporarily close on January 12, 2026, to remove its seasonal "Nightmare Before Christmas" overlay. This beloved New Orleans Square attraction will be offline for about two weeks, leaving visitors with fewer spooky adventures.
Pixar Pier
Get ready for construction chaos at Pixar Pier! Both the Incredicoaster and the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind will shut down for refurbishment starting January 5, 2026. That means less time for thrilling rides and more time for construction workers.
Lamplight Lounge
Even dining options aren't immune! The popular Lamplight Lounge will close on January 12, 2026, for a much-needed refresh. This top-tier restaurant will be unavailable during the refurbishment, leaving guests with fewer dining choices.
Grizzly River Run
And it doesn't stop there! The Grizzly River Run water ride will enter its annual winter hibernation on January 5, 2026, adding to the list of attractions that will be offline.
Why the closures matter
These closures are a bummer for families planning their winter getaway, especially with Disney's recent ticket promotion offering discounted rates. While the park aims to maintain its magic, these temporary closures can disrupt carefully planned itineraries. So, if you're eyeing a Disneyland trip in 2026, be sure to check the schedule and plan accordingly!
