Disney Details Eight April Closures Across Parks, Resorts and Disney Springs
The wave points to routine maintenance now alongside permanent changes that complicate trip planning.
Overview
- Shore, a clothing store at Disney Springs, closes permanently Thursday, continuing a run of tenant exits at the shopping district earlier this year.
- Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland goes down for refurbishment starting May 4 with no return date announced, removing a headliner that many visitors plan their day around.
- Vacation Fun, the Mickey and Minnie short at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, closed Wednesday and Disney says it will reopen later this year without a specific timeline.
- Boat service faces outages at two Walt Disney World resorts, with the Polynesian dock closed May 11 through late June and guests directed to the Monorail, while Wilderness Lodge runs buses during its April 13–May 1 dock refurbishment.
- Aquatopia at Tokyo DisneySea will operate through September 14, 2026, then close for good as part of a Port Discovery reimagining by park owner Oriental Land Company.
