Disney World Confirms July Closures and Dates for Major Overhaul and New Openings

Overview

• On June 25 Disney confirmed a cluster of late‑June and July changes, highlighted by Carousel of Progress closing July 6 for its largest refurbishment in decades with a planned reopening in 2027.
• EPCOT’s La Signature will close beginning June 29 for a lengthy refurbishment and Disney says Guerlain products will be available nearby at Plume Et Palette during the work.
• Big Top Souvenirs in Magic Kingdom’s Storybook Circus has been closed since February and is expected to remain unavailable through July with a planned reopening before the end of the year.
• Guests will see new and returning offerings during the same window: Pete’s Silly Sideshow reopens June 27 and La Poutinerie in the Canada Pavilion opens July 1 with Air Canada sponsorship.
• The Magic of Disney Animation at Hollywood Studios remains on a late‑summer timeline with a likely mid‑to‑late August debut and the resortwide program of updates will continue through 2027, so visitors should plan for altered availability and possible crowd shifts.
