These closures have no reopening date yet and may run into 2027: WDW Railroad Frontierland station; Slush Gusher; Typhoon Lagoon. Disney usually posts refurbishment dates one to three months ahead, so more 2027 closures will be added.
Will a ride be closed on my Disney World trip?
Enter your dates in the checker at the top of this page. It covers every closure Disney has announced. Disney can add a closure with a few weeks of notice, so check again the week before you go.
What is the difference between a ride being down and closed for refurbishment?
Down means the ride stopped for a short time, often for a sensor, a guest needing help or nearby lightning, and most rides come back within the hour. A refurbishment is planned maintenance that keeps the ride closed for days, weeks or months.

Over the last 30 days, Test Track at EPCOT broke down the most, 50 times, usually for about 60 minutes.
