Disneyland Closes Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island for Refurbishment

The park lists a tentative May 8 return that it has not confirmed.

Overview

  • Disneyland updated the attraction webpage Monday to mark Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island closed for refurbishment.
  • The calendar shows the area closed through May 7 with a possible May 8 reopening that remains unconfirmed.
  • The shutdown covers the entire island, so transportation rafts are not boarding and guests cannot access the area.
  • The change arrived without prior notice, leaving visitors who planned to explore the Frontierland play space to adjust plans on arrival.
  • Tom Sawyer Island opened in 1956 and was rethemed as Pirate’s Lair in 2007, and Walt Disney World closed its version in 2025 to make room for a Cars-themed expansion.
