The Ultimate Walt Disney World Guide
For those heading to Walt Disney World in May and June, there are a couple attractions that will be briefly closed for short refurbishments. The Carousel of Progress will be closing from May 13 through May 15, 2013 and reopening on May 16. This is likely going to happen simply for some paint touch-ups and [...]
In the early part of 2012, Big Thunder Mountain went down for about a five-month refurbishment. When 2013 hits, it will be the other big mountain in Frontierland that sees a lengthy shut-down as Splash Mountain will close up shop on January 2, 2013 and not re-open again until March 19 or 20, 2013. Every [...]
A number of attractions already have it, but next in line to get an interactive queue is going to be Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in the Magic Kingdom. Haunted Mansion, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and Dumbo the Flying Elephant already have them, and the Disney Parks Blog states that BTM is next [...]
The construction continues in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom for the New Fantasyland that is coming later this year and beyond, but there is stuff going on elsewhere too.

Only one though will be quite lengthy though while the other is only about a week. Starting on August 4, 2012, the Liberty Square Riverboat will be closing for [...]
On Saturday, there was a very quick “soft opening” for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at the Magic Kingdom, but it lasted all of 35 minutes before “technical difficulties” shut it down for the night. Sunday, May 27, 2012 marked yet another “soft opening,” and this one seemed to be going off without a hitch. The [...]
Big Thunder Mountain at the Magic Kingdom has been under refurbishment since January and is preparing to be reopened to the public on Monday, May 28, 2012, but a “soft opening” happened today for a very short amount of time. And sadly…the falling rocks are gone. All of the refurb walls around BTM are down [...]
There are a ton of refurbishments going on right now around Walt Disney World and especially the Magic Kingdom, but a few new walls sprang up today (January 22, 2012) in Fantasyland. As you can see, Peter Pan’s Flight now has the pretty blue walls up around the FASTPass area for some reason. Tickets are [...]
