Earlier today, we brought you news that Splash Mountain was closing on January 10, 2022 for refurbishment. In that article, we had our doubts that this was anything more than the annual refurbishment, but Disney had not made any announcement as to the reasoning for the closure.
Now, Scott Gustin has confirmed with Disney that the closure is for the annual Splash Mountain refurbishment and that the closure is not to begin work on the announced Princess and the Frog reimagining.
Disney has not said when the attraction will close permanently, but Magic Kingdom President Melissa Valiquette has said that “it’s going to take us some time” for guests to see progress.
As always, keep checking back with us here at BlogMickey.com as we continue to bring you the latest news, photos, and info from around the Disney Parks!
Any idea how long this closure will last?! We are scheduled to go in February and Splash Mountain is an all time family favorite!! So hoping it will be back open by then!!!!
Good news. There are quite a few items in the Disneyland Splash Mountain that need repair.
