Tokyo Disney Xmas 2026 Menu: Choc Churro returns, festive donuts, hot yuzu matcha

The Christmas 2026 menu has been announced, on sale from November 1, 2026 (end date varies, but most items are intended to be available at least until Christmas Day).

In addition to the classic Chocolate Churro (with festive paper sleeve) returning, there is also a new Hot Yuzu Matcha Drink ¥750 (link) that looks pretty cool. It seems to have replaced the Apple Ginger Hot drink from previous year though, so I am a little gutted!

Both parks have their version of the KFC Christmas bucket, called Holiday Party Bucket (featuring smoked chicken legs, chicken tenders and other goodies). I know what I'll be having this Christmas... 😄

Is TDR popcorn considered “popcorn” or “kettle corn”?

I have only recently heard about “kettle corn” and learned that the sugar was incorporated into the oil during the popping process.

Is the flavouring of TDR popcorn added after popping? Or is it added as part of the oil mix during the popping process?

February 2027 Vacation Package booking opens September 3rd, 2026, 3pm JST

February 2027 Vacation Packages will open for booking next week, September 3rd 2026, at 3pm JST.

Potential Early Park Closures: DisneySea will likely close at 6.30pm on 2/5 and 2/19.  Disneyland will likely close at 6.30pm on 2/26. Ride closures: Several popular rides will be closed for maintenance part or all of this month, including Journey to the Center of the Earth (2027/1/8-3/8), Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion (Both reopening 2/5), Jungle Cruise (2027/1/6-3/30) and Star Tours (2027/2/5-2/18).  So check the closure lists before deciding to book.

Source: https://reserve.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/news/detail/2777/?pagingNo=1

Happy Entry & Hotel Selection Reminder: Please remember that for February, only Hotel MiraCosta and Fantasy Springs Hotel guests will get Happy Entry to DisneySea, so take that into consideration when choosing your VP hotel. Also remember, while all hotels provide Happy Entry to Disneyland, as there is no Happy Entry for day of check-in, so the only Vacation Package that can take advantage of Disneyland Happy Entry is the 2 Night 2 Park Days (Park ticket second and third day) package.

Key summary

All 5 of the Vacation Packages that were on sale for January will be available for booking for February.

Closure alert

Before you book, always check the official closure list (https://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/tdl/monthly/stop.html) to see if your favourite ride, parade or show will be down for maintenance before making your decisions.

  • Indiana Jones - 2025/8/18 - 2026/11/29 [TDS]
  • Cinderella’s Fairy Tale Hall - 2026/10/1 - TBD [TDL]
  • Journey to the Center of the Earth - 2027/1/8 - 2027/3/8 [TDS]
  • Jungle Cruise - 2027/1/6 - 2027/3/30 [TDL]
  • Splash Mountain - 2027/1/7 - 2027/2/4 [TDL]
  • Haunted Mansion - 2027/1/8 - 2027/2/4 [TDL]
  • Star Tours - 2027/2/5 - 2027/2/18 [TDL]
  • Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin - 2027/2/8 - 2027/3/2 [TDL]

Learn about how VP pricing works

If you have never booked a Vacation Package before, you might have some questions like: is it all inclusive? Does it include food? Is it compulsory to choose food? Why is the price variable? How come there is a "quote" that says "For 1 person per night per room" but I can never get that price or it seems so random (larger room seems cheaper)? See this post here.

VP Chaining 101 (i.e. if 2 nights just isn't enough)

The 2N2D packages are great "Swiss army knife" packages that enables chaining of Vacation Packages together to enable longer packages.

You can book them in front (Ticket on Day 1 and Day 2 type) or behind (Ticket on Day 2 and Day 3 type) any other VP - even itself - to create a longer packaged vacation. For example, Unlimited VP + 2N2D (Ticket on Day 2 and Day 3) = 3 night 4 days vacation (TDL/TDS/TDL/TDS), or 2N3D + 2N2D = 4 night 5 days vacation (TDL/TDS/TDS/TDL/TDS). While technically they remain two separate package reservations, if you are careful to book the exact same room type/specification, it is almost like you had a longer package (just contact TDR to put a note informally linking them after booking).

Booking tips: Can I just set an alarm and go to the site at 3pm JST?

That might be too late. There is a queue system that is implemented when website traffic picks up. If you start at 3pm you might not get through until hours later. You might have to start checking the site from as early as 2pm JST until you find a session with the perfect queue exit time no earlier than 2.45pm-2.50pm.

Please also note that the TDR IT system does not perform well when it’s under load.  So even if you manage to get through the queue, you might get kicked out during the booking process.  You might want to stagger a few sessions 30 minutes apart (it is not a bad idea to have one that starts at e.g. 4pm, 5pm JST etc) as last month many people who got through around 3pm got kicked off eventually.

See experiences in the comments here.  See also more detailed tips: https://www.reddit.com/r/TokyoDisneySea/s/V6EylAKvM3

I manage to book the same room type as a standalone hotel room booking (before or after) my Vacation Package.  How do I notify the hotel to avoid changing rooms?

Once you have made all the reservations, use the official hotel online form (and under "Type of Inquiry" choose "Request to link multiple stays with different reservation numbers and assign them to the same room"), so you don't have to change rooms. The bookings will remain separate and nothing gets "combined". Your VP remains pre-paid and has different cancellation policies and deadlines compared to your hotel bookings (which is deposit only and remainder payable upon check-in).

IMPORTANT: Just double check to make sure you book rooms that has the identical room type/room name/floor range (if applicable), number of beds and room size (in m2) as otherwise it would result in a room change.

Under the “unlimited rides on eligible attractions” package, the description says “Enjoy churros, popcorn, or frozen dessert as much as you like!”  Do I get all of those in my package?

No, unfortunately! The operative word there is the “or”. Your entire party must choose just one type of snack ticket.  That is, either churros, or popcorn or frozen packaged desserts.  If you choose churros then you will not have any popcorn.  Everyone in your party will have the same ticket type and you cannot mix-and-match.  Not all snack ticket type is offered at all times (e.g. during summer, popcorn is not an option; during winter months there will not be any frozen dessert option).  See this post here.

How are Vacation Package costs calculated, how the Beverage Ticket works, and are meals pre-paid?

See this post here.

Do I get popcorn or popcorn bucket with the Vacation Package?

See this post here.

Do I get Happy Entry (early entry) with a Vacation Package?

Not necessarily. It depends on which hotel you are booking as part of the package.

Guide to"cut the line" passes from September 1, 2026 (Price increase for some rides, some free rides become paid) @ Tokyo Disney Resort

In addition to the previously announced plan to move some free priority passes into the paid Disney Premier Access category, the most popular DPAs (including Frozen, Soaring, Journey and Beauty and the Beast) will also see a price increase of ¥500 per access, starting September 1st, 2026. (Source) In a way this does make sense, especially for Journey, as I feel it was always a little under priced being the signature ride of the park and all.

Price Increases (¥500):

  • Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey (¥2,000 -> ¥2,500)
  • Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast (¥2,000 -> ¥2,500)
  • Soaring: Fantastic Flight (¥2,000 -> ¥2,500)
  • Journey to the Center of the Earth (¥1,500 -> ¥2,000)

New Paid Priority Lane Access (Previously Free):

  • Indiana Jones Adventure (Free -> ¥1,500)
  • Raging Spirits (Free -> ¥1,500)
  • Big Thunder Mountain (Free -> ¥1,500)
  • Pooh's Hunny Hunt (Free -> ¥1,500)
  • Monsters Inc. Ride & Go Seek! (Free -> ¥1,000)
  • Haunted Mansion Holiday (Free -> ¥1,000)

While these are currently notionally "free", in practice many guests struggle to get any (especially those who are not as prepared and stroll into the park mid morning), as they tend to run out early during the day, and even very well organised and rope droppers might only get 1-2 good rides. Changing them to paid will hopefully make it more accessible to only those "in need", and if utilisation is lower it would also reduce Standby line wait time as a side effect, so it's not a "bad news" story as it may first appear.

How many DPAs can I purchase at one time?

The cooldown rules have not changed in relation to DPAs. So going forward:

  • To purchase another DPA for a different ride, you must wait until either 60 minutes after your first DPA purchase, or the start of your return time of your first DPA, whichever is earlier
  • To purhase another DPA for the same ride again, you must wait until either you have used your first DPA, or when your DPA has completely expired.

Ride DPAs continue to operate separately and on a different cooldown timer, compared to the Show/Parade DPAs.

What is happening to the other priority lane rides?

At the moment, there is no announcement yet on the exact situation on the rides that currently fall within the "40th anniversary priority pass" list but did not migrate onto the DPA system. These rides currently have priority lanes built in. These are specifically: Turtle Talk, Nemo & Friends Sea Rider, The Magic Lamp Theater, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (DisneySea). Star Tours, Haunted Mansion Non-Holiday (Disneyland).

The assumption at the moment is that the priority lanes will remain operational post Sep 1, 2026 but only for Vacation Package or Fantasy Springs Grand Chateau guests who have "attraction tickets" that allow priority access (i.e. "Eligible Attractions" ticket or the Unlimited VP "Special Attractions" ticket), but that the passes will not be distributed to "day guests".

How about rides not listed in the table?

The majority of rides at the Tokyo Disney parks have no priority lanes, so everyone is free to line up but cannot skip lines (e.g. Jungle Cruise, Small World, Pirates, Venetian Gondolas, majority of classic/children rides), these remain as is and nothing has changed.

Edit: This post has been updated to amend some typos/errors.

Officially named: Space Mountain Earthrise and Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue (Credit: u/The540Incident)

Credit to u/The540Incident for this news.

The two new Tomorrowland rides at Tokyo Disneyland are now officially named, together with a bespoke microsite:

https://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/treasure/tomorrowland_2027/en/

There are no material updates concerning when they are opening, the dates published are similar to previously noted during financial results reporting (but at least we know Space Mountain is calendar year 2027 meaning before 12/31 rather than fiscal year 2027 which runs to end of March 2028):

  • Space Mountain Earthrise - TBD 2027
  • Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue - Spring 2027

Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue

"This indoor attraction, themed after the Disney movie "Wreck-It Ralph," is an interactive game that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

To save the world of "Sugar Rush," a racing game set in a candy kingdom, which is in danger of being destroyed by a glitch created by King Candy, the "Sugar Bugs," guests enter the game world and join forces with familiar characters from the movie, such as Ralph and Vanellope.

Immerse yourself in the colorful game world and enjoy restoring the Sugar Bugs to their original cute candy forms, such as gummies and cupcakes."

Space Mountain Earthrise

"Space Mountain Earthrise is an all-new indoor roller coaster-type attraction that takes guests on an unforgettable journey through outer space, featuring brand new architecture and a newly developed ride system that combines imaginative storytelling and immersive theatrical effects inspired by the wonders of space.

From there, guests can enjoy a dynamic and immersive experience through the cosmos unlike ever before, with special light and sound effects inspired by various space phenomena. Additionally, in a first for roller coasters at Tokyo Disney Resort, the ride vehicles will come equipped with an onboard audio system. The attraction’s exterior incorporates curved features designed after the movements of celestial bodies and forms found in nature, such as trees and flowers — an expression of the connection between space and nature."

Indy Return Announcement Teased

Indiana Jones Adventure®: Temple of the Crystal Skull has been in refurbishment since August 18, 2025. A few hours ago, TDR's official PR social accounts (on X, Insta etc) posted this picture with a message that could be translated to/read as: "Is everyone ready? See you again soon!"

(Original: みなさん、用意はいい？ またお会いしましょう！)

A few days ago, as part of its Q1 2026 earnings financial report, OLC already confirmed that Indiana Jones will be returning at some point (when they added the ride to the DPA candidate list).

The ride originally opened in DisneySea on September 4, 2001, so there has been speculations that it might reopen in time for its 25th anniversary: will it happen? Stay tuned.

Many Priority Ride Passes will become paid DPA from Sept 1, 2026. Plus other TDR news from Oriental Land Co Q1 FY2026 financial results

The Q1 2026 results for TDR’s operator, OLC, were announced today.

https://www.olc.co.jp/en/ir/library/presentations.html

  • After the "40th Anniversary" passes end on 31 August, many of those rides will now be converted into DPA from Sept 1, all priced between ¥1,000-1,500. These are specifically: Big Thunder, Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Haunted Mansion (Holiday version), Monsters, Inc, Raging Spirits and Indiana Jones. This information is now also published on the official Disney Premier Access page (link).
  • Some of the existing "not as popular" 40th Anniversary Pass rides are not listed, so it is unclear what will happen to those rides at this stage (specifically Haunted Mansion (Non Holiday Version), Star Tours, 20,000 Leagues, Turtle Talk, Nemo SeaRider and The Magic Lamp Theater). It still remains possible that at least some of these will remain on a "free pass" system to be announced.
  • Indiana Jones is listed as an upcoming DPA ride, so at least we know the ride is not closed permanently, but it is still listed as a "TBA" so it seems it won't be back for the moment (or at least probably not by Sept 1)

Some other interesting information from the Q&A (source) include:

  • Overseas guests has declined year-on-year. "By area, we are receiving the most guests in the following order: North America, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. On the other hand, as per JNTO’s announcement, the year-on-year decrease is due to a fall in visitors from mainland China caused by deterioration in Japan–China relations, which also affected the number of visiting foreign tourists between April and June. Please understand that the parks have been subject to a certain impact from this." "Meanwhile, for overseas guests, visits are below both the previous year and the budget due to factors such as the decline in inbound visitors from mainland China caused by the impact of Japan–China relations."
  • Overseas guests in Q1 were down because of weaker inbound traffic from mainland China. Hong Kong visitors were affected last year by earthquake rumors and related flight reductions.
  • The main driver for strong merch sales in Q1 were attributed to sales of Tokyo DisneySea 25th Anniversary merchandise, including food, jubilee badges, and plush toys. OLC said it stocked more aggressively to capture early demand and reduce lost sales. Some cannibalization of regular merchandise occurred, but the anniversary products more than offset that.

Not directly related to the parks, but OLC has also provided some elaboration of its cruise business model and target audience: "Cruises mainly depart and arrive at Tokyo International Cruise Terminal", "2 to 4-night short-term cruises", and target "Families, younger generation, overseas inbound travelers".

Stream outside Japan for the first time! Tokyo DisneySea 25th “Sparkling Jubilee” Music Album (Deluxe)

UPDATE: The album seems to have been removed, so may be it was never intended to be licensed for outside Japan after all. It was good while it lasted!

When it comes to Tokyo Disney music, those living outside of Japan so often feel left out, because other than a single here and there, most of the TDR albums are not sold digitally outside of Japan, let alone for streaming.

So I am excited to report that the new Tokyo DisneySea 25th “Sparkling Jubilee” Music Album (Deluxe), the 3-CD set with 44 tracks, including seven previously unreleased songs, just launched on digital storefront and streaming platforms today and it appears that all 44 tracks are available even outside of Japan (hopefully it includes your country)! That is huge.

Most of the tracks are Japanese, but it includes a lot of gems like the full ride through mix for Soaring, Sindhad, and StormRider.

Happy 25th Anniversary Tokyo Disney Resort Line Monorail Today (July 27, 2026)

The Disney Resort Line at Tokyo Disney Resort opened on July 27, 2001.

Celebration Hotel and new DisneySea 25th themed rooms (Oct 1 2026 – Mar 31 2027)

Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel, being the only “value” class hotel out of the 5 Disney hotels at TDR, is usually the budget pick compromise when the other onsite hotels are too expensive. But some new 25th Anniversary Sparkling Jubilee themed rooms will become available at Wish (one of the two buildings) that might actually make it worth considering aside from the lower price point.

From 1 October 2026 to 1 March 2027, you can stay in special rooms with three different “Off to a Sparkling Adventure!” wallpaper designs, exclusive framed photos, and limited postcards that change mid‑season, all featuring Masashi Asada’s photography for the 25th.

You still get Happy Entry at Disneyland, the ability to buy park tickets at the hotel even on “sold out” days, and a free shuttle to the parks, so for once Celebration is a genuinely interesting option for fans who don’t want to pay deluxe prices. This is also a viable option for pre-Vacation Package nights: don't forget, even though the Celebration is far away, they offer free luggage transfer to your Vacation Package hotel.

Bookings for these Imagining the Magic rooms start at 1pm JST on August 4, 2026.

Disney Halloween 2026: Details announced including costume permitted dates

Disney Halloween will run at the Tokyo Disney Resort from 9/16 to 10/31, this year with an expanded Coco‑themed Lazos de la Familia at DisneySea, pumpkin‑and‑sweets Halloween greeting at Mediterranean Harbor, Duffy & Friends’ “Autumn Surprise!” program, plus tie‑in offerings at the Disney Hotels, Resort Line, and Ikspiari including Coco revival screenings.

OLC released some details today relating to this year's Halloween event (press release here). Some key highlights:

  • Costumes permitted dates: Guests can wear full character costumes (rules apply, eg no imitating Cast Members, no face obstruction, no long train, no light up costumes, and your character must fall within the official Disney IP pertinent works list) at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea within these two date ranges only: 9/15-9/30, and 10/16-10/31. (Detailed Rules and FAQ here). In case you didn’t know, dressing up as Spider-Man is not permitted.
  • Duffy Autumn Surprise: Duffy & Friends join the Halloween fun this year with an “Autumn Surprise!” event which runs at DisneySea from 8/25-11/1 at Cape Cod. There is also a related themed menu at the MiraCosta Silk Road Garden.
  • Into the Frenzy Villains Parade back with ¥3,500 DPA: The ever more popular The Villains' Halloween parade will be back, but for those who want a reserved spot, DPA is priced at ¥3,500 (compared to ¥2,500 for a regular parade). Given how many locals stake out their spots for the parade at park opening, it will absolutely still sell out so assuming that will have to be a priority purchase for those who want a good viewing spot (though for parades you can see it pretty much standing anywhere as long as you’re not too fussed).
  • Miguel character greeting (with unique "world of the living" and "land of the dead" outfits at different time of day): The Lazos de la Familia event will return 9/16-11/2 at Lost River Delta. Miguel will have a character greeting location with two different outfits, one for the day time and one from the afternoon.
  • Haunted Mansion Nightmare before Christmas Overlay: 2026/9/15-2027/1/7

Edited to correct spelling of Lazos de la Familia, and more details on costumes.

December 28th 2026 to January 3rd 2027 Vacation Package booking opens July 16th, 2026, 3pm JST

For those of you wishing to visit the Tokyo Disney Resort during the End of Year and New Years period, Vacation Packages open for booking next week, 16th July 2026, at 3pm JST.

 Note: Journey to the Center of the Earth goes into a 2-month maintenance 2027/1/8-3/8, so early January will be the right time to catch this signature ride if you’re there that month.

Source: https://reserve.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/news/detail/2766/?pagingNo=1

Happy Entry & Hotel Selection Reminder: Please remember that for December 2026, only Hotel MiraCosta and Fantasy Springs Hotel guests will get Happy Entry to DisneySea, so take that into consideration when choosing your VP hotel. Also remember, while all hotels provide Happy Entry to Disneyland, as there is no Happy Entry for day of check-in, so the only Vacation Package that can take advantage of Disneyland Happy Entry is the 2 Night 2 Park Days (Park ticket second and third day) package.

Key summary

All 5 of the Vacation Packages that were on sale for December 1-27th 2026 will be available for booking for this end of year/new years period.

Closure alert

Before you book, always check the official closure list (https://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/tdl/monthly/stop.html) to see if your favourite ride, parade or show will be down for maintenance before making your decisions.

  • Indiana Jones - 2025/8/18 - TBD [TDS]
  • Cinderella’s Fairy Tale Hall - 2026/10/1 - TBD [TDL]
  • Journey to the Center of the Earth - 2027/1/8 - 2027/3/8 [TDS]
  • Jungle Cruise - 2027/1/6 - 2027/3/30 [TDL]
  • Splash Mountain - 2027/1/7 - 2027/2/4 [TDL]
  • Haunted Mansion - 2027/1/8 - 2027/2/4 [TDL]

Learn about how VP pricing works

If you have never booked a Vacation Package before, you might have some questions like: is it all inclusive? Does it include food? Is it compulsory to choose food? Why is the price variable? How come there is a "quote" that says "For 1 person per night per room" but I can never get that price or it seems so random (larger room seems cheaper)? See this post here.

VP Chaining 101 (i.e. if 2 nights just isn't enough)

The 2N2D packages are great "Swiss army knife" packages that enables chaining of Vacation Packages together to enable longer packages.

You can book them in front (Ticket on Day 1 and Day 2 type) or behind (Ticket on Day 2 and Day 3 type) any other VP - even itself - to create a longer packaged vacation. For example, Unlimited VP + 2N2D (Ticket on Day 2 and Day 3) = 3 night 4 days vacation (TDL/TDS/TDL/TDS), or 2N3D + 2N2D = 4 night 5 days vacation (TDL/TDS/TDS/TDL/TDS). While technically they remain two separate package reservations, if you are careful to book the exact same room type/specification, it is almost like you had a longer package (just contact TDR to put a note informally linking them after booking).

Booking tips: Can I just set an alarm and go to the site at 3pm JST?

That might be too late. There is a queue system that is implemented when website traffic picks up. If you start at 3pm you might not get through until hours later. You might have to start checking the site from as early as 2pm JST until you find a session with the perfect queue exit time no earlier than 2.45pm-2.50pm.

Please also note that the TDR IT system does not perform well when it’s under load.  So even if you manage to get through the queue, you might get kicked out during the booking process.  You might want to stagger a few sessions 30 minutes apart (it is not a bad idea to have one that starts at e.g. 4pm, 5pm JST etc) as last month many people who got through around 3pm got kicked off eventually.

I manage to book the same room type as a standalone hotel room booking (before or after) my Vacation Package.  How do I notify the hotel to avoid changing rooms?

Once you have made all the reservations, use the official hotel online form (and under "Type of Inquiry" choose "Request to link multiple stays with different reservation numbers and assign them to the same room"), so you don't have to change rooms. The bookings will remain separate and nothing gets "combined". Your VP remains pre-paid and has different cancellation policies and deadlines compared to your hotel bookings (which is deposit only and remainder payable upon check-in).

IMPORTANT: Just double check to make sure you book rooms that has the identical room type/room name/floor range (if applicable), number of beds and room size (in m2) as otherwise it would result in a room change.

Under the “unlimited rides on eligible attractions” package, the description says “Enjoy churros, popcorn, or frozen dessert as much as you like!”  Do I get all of those in my package?

No, unfortunately! The operative word there is the “or”. Your entire party must choose just one type of snack ticket.  That is, either churros, or popcorn or frozen packaged desserts.  If you choose churros then you will not have any popcorn.  Everyone in your party will have the same ticket type and you cannot mix-and-match.  Not all snack ticket type is offered at all times (except during winter months there will not be any frozen dessert option).  See also this post here.

How are Vacation Package costs calculated, how the Beverage Ticket works, and are meals pre-paid?

See this post here.

Do I get popcorn or popcorn bucket with the Vacation Package?

See this post here.

Do I get Happy Entry (early entry) with a Vacation Package?

Not necessarily. It depends on which hotel you are booking as part of the package.

No New Year’s Eve Celebration for another year (December 31, 2026)

The "New Years Eve" event has not returned to TDR since December 31st 2019/January 1st 2020, and some of us held out some hope that it would return some day.

True story: I was there at the 2020 countdown and that year the Castle was partially scaffolded up due to renovations, and I always hoped to go back again when they do a new years countdown, without the construction walls.

But this year will not be the year.

TDR has just updated its event schedule and has officially confirmed that:

>“New Year’s Eve” at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea (on December 31, 2026) will not be presented.

So once again December 31st will just be a regular 9am-9pm day. The New Years event will officially start January 1st 2027 through January 11th 2027.

Reminder of Upcoming Ride Closures: Rapzunel, Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Monsters Inc etc

Nothing new, but summer is about to commence at the Tokyo Disney Resort, and a large number of popular attractions will all go into planned maintenance all-at-once, so here is a heads up. July is a great time to visit for those willing to brave the heat, but it does come with some trade offs.

  • Pooh's Hunny Hunt - Closed 2026/6/30 to 2026/8/28 - Reopening 8/29
  • Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek - Closed 2026/7/1 to 2026/7/31 - Reopening 8/1
  • Rapunzel's Lantern Festival - Closed 2026/7/1 to 2026/7/24 - Reopening 7/25

In addition to these, for Fotress Explorations The Leonardo Challenge will also be closed the entire summer. It's a Small World is also now closed until 8/4 to remove the Groot/Marvel overlay. Indiana Jones is of course still closed indefinitely since last August.
